ORKNEY BUILT TO LAST

“The Orkney Pilot House range has many similarities to our Nelson launches, with their classic appearance and excellent seakeeping qualities, a fully enclosed wheelhouse and self draining cockpit they are able to stay at sea in a wide variety of conditions.” Arthur Mursell - TT Boat Design

The Pilot House range from Orkney is renowned for its seaworthiness and durability, offering classic Nelson styling with its distinctive work boat looks. Equally as popular with the discerning cruiser as it is with those looking for a boat that will provide a reliable workhorse for either serious Sea Angling or Commercial application.

“The Pilot House 20 still offers those traditional Orkney characteristics such as vice free handling, stability at rest, easy motion whilst drifting or at anchor and the ability to perform well with relatively small engines.” • Lockable wheelhouse with excellent all-round visibility • Spacious self draining cockpit • Safe high cockpit coamings & wide side decks • Spacious cabin with plenty of storage • Outboard or Diesel stern drive options • Day Angler & Valiant cruising packages

Originally developed from the highly regarded Day Angler 19+, the Pilot House 20 is now in its fourth generation and continues to be a popular size model in the range with both Cruisers and Fishermen alike. With a generous beam along the waterline spray chines it offers good stability without a significant increase in wetted surface. The hull features a reasonably deep forefoot with fine forward sections and pronounced flare developing into a moderate V aft. The resulting shape, combined with a moderate beam/length ratio, results in a dry, comfortable ride in rough seas. The fully moulded...

CONSTRUCTION Hull, deck and ancillary mouldings are constructed in hand layup GRP. Isophthalic resin is used in the hull which is stiffened below the waterline by bonded-in bulkheads and longitudinal stringers. The cabin and cockpit are formed by Grp modules which are bonded into the hull to increase rigidity. One piece deck moulding utilises complex core stiffening and is both bonded and mechanically fastened to the hull.

The Pilot House 25 model adopts the same long standing principles that Orkney Boats have been so well renowned for over the years, including a robust seaworthy design with uncompromised sea keeping skills. Whether the boat is to be used for serious passage making or simply for coastal cruising the Orkney Pilot House 25 has this versatility. Like her sister ship the Orkney Nelson 27, the new 25 has been developed to comply with RCD category B and to be capable of meeting MCA commercial craft requirements with little modification. The wide beamed hull features convex panels with fine...

CONSTRUCTION Hull, deck and ancillary mouldings are constructed in heavy duty hand lay up GRP. The outer layer of the hull is laid up with Isophthalic resin. Subsequent layers are reinforced with chopped strand mat and woven rovings used in combination, the thickness increasing in critical vulnerable areas. Above the waterline stiffening is provided by a full length foam core panel and below the waterline by bonded-in bulkheads and longitudinal stringers.
