We use finite connectivity equilibrium replica theory to solve models of finitely connected unit-length vectorial spins, with random pair-interactions which are of the orthogonal matrix type. Finitely connected spin models, although still of a mean-field nature, can be regarded as a convenient level of description in between fully connected and finite-dimensional ones. Since the spins are continuous and the connectivity c remains finite in the thermodynamic limit, the replica-symmetric order parameter is a functional. The general theory is developed for arbitrary values of the dimension d of the spins, and arbitrary choices of the ensemble of random orthogonal matrices. We calculate phase diagrams and the values of moments of the order parameter explicitly for d = 2 (finitely connected XY spins with random chiral interactions) and for d = 3 (finitely connected classical Heisenberg spins with random chiral interactions). Numerical simulations are shown to support our predictions quite satisfactorily.
