The Orca 43 was designed by Dick Carter as a boat to compete in the Admiral’s Cup in the early 70s under IOR.
Construction began at the site Sailboats of Crespellano (BO) which later changed its name to Cantieri del Pardo (est. 4 hulls). Molds were sold to Fiumicino (Rome) and, later, it passed to Nautical Fiberglass (Rome).

Keel/CB version was also available.
This is probably the first version of the TYPOON DAYSAILER, built by Naugus Fiberglass. (pre-Cape Dory and which we have labeled NAUGUS)
It has an open cockpit and no cabin or cuddy seen on the later versions built under the Cape Cory label.
The image here is from the sales literature and we know that at least one was built.
Fixed keel version draws: 1.4m/2.62′.
