Olympic Yachts Ltd. (Canada)

Olympic Yachts Ltd. was a Canadian boatbuilder based in British Columbia (with some production in Greece noted for certain models), active primarily in the 1970s–1980s. The company specialized in small to mid-sized fiberglass sailboats, often aimed at entry-level or family daysailing/cruising markets. They produced a limited range of models, including the Olympic Dolphin 23 (a popular 23-foot daysailer with fin keel or shoal draft options, displacement around 2,000 lb, and simple sloop rig) and related variants like the Olympic 23.5 (sometimes listed separately but likely overlapping with Dolphin series).
The yard is best remembered for affordable, durable fiberglass sailboats (similar to contemporary Canadian builders like Tanzer or Hughes), with some hulls exported or built under license. Production details are sparse today due to the company's limited scale and era—many boats were sold in Canada and the US West Coast/Great Lakes regions. Surviving examples occasionally appear in used markets or classic boat circles, often praised for simplicity and ease of maintenance.
