Perhaps they can provide you with some documentation or steer you in
the right direction....

This info is quite interesting and did not have it. There is an error
because Orca is indeed 13.24 m long but the outstanding thing is that
"Sailboat" addition. The first two or three Orca's were built by
Sailboats Co. under the direct supervision of Dick Carter and with very
high standards; mine is one of them. Afterwards the mold (or template?
I am not sure which is the right word) was sold to another builder who
started a series production with much lower standards and few
unfortunate and aestethically opinable corrections to the molds so that
Dick Carter himself never endorsed them. In fact the Sailboats
headquarters used to be very close to this Cantiere Nautico Morri &
Para; I will get in touch with them.

Thanks again

Daniel,
I had some inclination to that effect, the section heading said "boats
outfitted" as opposed to their other header which said "boats built" My
guess would be that Sailbaots did yhe hull layup, and Morri and Para
did the equippage and rigging(?)...... But If I have any understanding
of the Italian craftsmen, I'll bet someone at Morri and Para will be
able to help you out...Here's a link to their webpage as well...
