Built in Britain... Built to Last WORK BOATS & SPECIALS We can build specialised workboats on most of our hulls. Our standard designs are intended for leisure use only. If you intend to use the boat for any commercial, intensive or hard use please consult us or your local dealer to ensure you get the right boat for the job. SPEEDS Our boats are designed to perform well with relatively small engines. This is achieved by having specially designed hulls with a moderate amount of V in the sections combined with high strength to low weight construction methods. With fairly light payloads the speeds indicated in our brochures will be delivered in smooth water using the recommended engines; with increased loads, lower speeds can result. Our boats should be driven at lower speeds in heavy trim when encountering rough conditions because higher weights and higher speeds generate disproportionately large loads on the hulls. Consequently our warranty does not cover boats using bigger engines than we recommend or boats that have been used at speeds greater than advised in our literature and/or owners manuals. USE AND HANDLING Boating is still largely an unregulated pastime in the UK. At Orkney Boats we strongly encourage owners to use their boats in a seamanlike manner and show full consideration to others both afloat and offshore. If you have not been boating before, or would like to brush up your knowledge on boat handling and the care and maintenance of your boat, we recommend that you consider one or more of the wide range of available courses, many of which are RYA approved. Please contact your dealer who will be able to provide details structures that can be corrected by the simple tightening of fastenings or via any reasonably accessible means of adjustment. This utilitarian approach to construction and finish is part of the reason Orkney Boats are popular with professional and some commercial operators who use their boats a great deal. However, if desired, small gel blemishes can be dealt with by using the repair kit supplied with each boat and other help can be found in the Owner’s Handbook. TERMS OF BUSINESS A copy of our terms of business and details on warranty conditions are available on request.

Customers should note that Orkney Boats are hand built in modest volumes. Whilst great care is taken during all the building stages to ensure structural integrity, the nature of the GRP process and other techniques involved may result in minor surface blemishes and/or variations in fit and finish. These type of small imperfections have no impact on the strength or seaworthiness of our boats; they are not considered to be faults and are not covered by our warranty.
