Her decks are Iroko as well, laid over marine plywood and caulked.

Her electrical system is 12-24 vdc and was upgraded with more modern equipment in 2010. all of ORINA systems reportedly work.

Orina's hull was finished in Portugal and then she was towed to Dublin Ireland for fitting out. Her fit and finish was exceptional. Her accommodations include 3-generous double guest staterooms mid-ship and aft and crew berth forward.

This storied ship M/V ORINA made at least eight voyages up the inside passage through the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and the Yukon to Alaska. All of her adventures are chronicled in the Masters book "INSIDE THE INSIDE PASSAGE: TRUE STORIES FROM THE LAND OF THE SPIRIT BEAR."
