The Orion 50 is a 15.1-meter staysail ketch designed by Gary Mull and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan between 1983 and 1987. It features a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg, a 4.4-meter beam, a 2.0-meter draft, and displaces 16,601 kg. Aboard *Distant Shores TV*, Paul and Sheryl Shard sailed their Orion 50 on a 450-mile passage from the British Virgin Islands to South Caicos, navigating the 50-mile Caicos Bank by retracting the full keel in depths of 2–6 meters and using eyeball navigation to avoid coral heads.9:36 They also completed a 2,200-nautical-mile transatlantic crossing from Cape Verde to Antigua in 15 days, using a twin-pole downwind rig with two jibs for 11 consecutive days.παρακολούθηση During this crossing, the boat experienced engine and gearbox failures, but its hybrid electric propulsion system, which uses propeller regeneration and solar panels, maintained sufficient power for onboard systems.1:09 The crew resolved a slipping hybrid drive belt mid-ocean by tensioning it after consulting a technician via Starlink.5:58 The boat's first-generation hybrid system required a mid-ocean battery swap and a galley spatula to coax the gearbox into gear.6:26
