The Oriole is a great boat for weekend cruising, racing, or even longer adventures. Fun and easy to sail. We bought it about a year ago and have put a lot of work into it.
We just sailed down the Inside Passage from Skagway, AK and now have the boat moored in Shilshole. The trailer is also down here.
