The biggest news in the History of
Orkney Boats After 10 years of our very successful
Pilothouse 24 being the flagship of the Orkney fleet, we can
reveal that its about to get a bigger brother.
The Orkney 27 due to be on sale in mid/late next year and
will add to the already highly regarded Pilothouse range.
Offered in either a long wheelhouse with up to 4 berth and short
wheelhouse option with more deck space (the long wheelhouse
option is shown) it will appeal across the board from people who
want to cruise, fish or both. With a flat floor and a
walk-through transom on both models (features that already been
well received) this already set to become an iconic Orkney Boat. |

Although preliminary information is sparse more is coming all
the time so ring or come and visit our factory for more details

North East Sea
Angling and Boat Show Earlier this month Phil and
Mark from P.A. Lynch Limited attended the first North East Sea
Angling and Boat Show in Newcastle over the weekend of the 25th
& 26th October.
Although unsure of what to expect, the overall impression was
that of a well attended, well organised show with people looking
to buy. Not bad for the first attempt and is sure to help ensure
it returns next year.
On display they had the Orkney 440 and Pilothouse 20 fitted
with the all new Suzuki DF80 only recently launched at the
Southampton Boatshow along with both inflatable's and smaller
engines. Although there were several of our competitors boats on
display, it was clear that ours drew the biggest crowds!
Orkney have always had a strong presence in this part of the
world and the new boats were admired by many. This has been
achieved largely through our dealer in this area, P.A. Lynch who
have been working with us for over 20 years+ and have built up a
wealth of experience and knowledge of our products.
P.A. Lynch will be be exhibiting at a whole host of shows
along with many of our other dealers so watch this space for
more details. |

Orkney Boats at the show
As many of you who follow the Orkney boat range through the
years already know, we are not renowned for launching boats in
quick succession, however, this year was the exception. Launched
on the first Friday of the Southampton International Boat Show where 2 completely new Orkney's
completing the Series 2 line up.
The first of the range was launched last year at the same
time with the 592 and now the 522 and 452 complete the series.
Featuring still many of the features that have made our brand so
successful over the years such as easy to launch, good
performance with moderate engine horsepower and low maintenance
ensure that this range will continue our traditions.
Both the 592 & 522 have been recently tested by the press and
came through with glowing reports about both their finish and
sea keeping, however, based on the Nelson design theme this
isn't surprising. Keep an eye out for the next issue of Sea
Angler where the 452 is put through its paces and doesn't
disappoint.
For more details on the new Series 2 or any of the Orkney
line-up, simply contact your dealer for more information. |

An Orkney shaft drive after 25 years
Earlier this year we finished a boat with a type of propulsion
not fitted by us for the last 25 years, shaft drive.
Built for a local boat builder/yard, (Northshore Yachts of
Itchenor). Orkney produced a shaft driven 592, one of our new
generation 19 footers. Based on a standard boat with a
countersunk tunnel in the hull to reduce the operation depth and
fitted with a 29hp Yanmar, the boat produced a top speed of
9.5knots. However, in this case the boat was designed as a work
boat to pull boats around and ferry customers and yard staff,
but for other applications more speed is possible. |
|
The last time we supplied a shaft drive boat we based it on two
Orkney Fastliner 16, boats that are still in use today although
they were built over 25years ago! Although the 592 shaft drive
version is not in main production, it is available as a
custom build and depending on interest may be launched as a new
range in our already impressive line-up.
For further information on what we could offer please contact
your nearest dealer. |
