Orkney Orkadian 20

**2000 BOAT**

**2018 ENGINE**

**LAUNCH TRAILER**

We are pleased to offer for sale this year 2000 Orkney Orkadian 20, powered by a 2018 Yamaha 70hp and with approximately 170 hours with good service history. The boat also comes with an unbraked Orkney launch trailer. The brakes have been removed, as the trailer has been used exclusively on private land for launching and recovery over the past few years. The trailer may be suitable for servicing and refurbishment - if this is of interest, please contact us and we can provide details of a local company who may be able to assess it and provide a quotation on your behalf.

This boat has 2 berths in single cabin as well as a separate heads compartment and a small galley.

Pleasing to look at and pitched by the manufacturer as a smart and sturdy ‘pocket cruiser’, she is in currently out of the water on its trailer on Hayling Island.

The vendor informs us that he most recently antifouled this boat in May 2026 – just before it was launched for the summer.

Orkneys are well known to be well-built and designed to have good seakeeping qualities, predictable handling and to be trailable, this class has generous beam and volume and a hull shape to provide a stable, dry ride in bad conditions. A reasonably deep forefoot with fine forward sections ensures a safe motion in heavy seas and clean underwater lines gives the potential for speeds over 20 knots.

What Motor Boating Monthly had to say about these boats:

“The self-draining cockpit, which is of a good depth and extends the full beam of the boat, runs cleanly through into the wheel shelter – which offers full standing headroom and two single swivelling seats. The hull – with its distinctive simulated clinker-built topsides, is from the drawing board of Arthur Mursell – best known in connection with TT Boat Designs and the Nelson range. It is designed with a view to allowing reasonable speeds to be maintained in poor conditions. The Orkadian 20 is a smart, handsome little boat which offers great fun and versatility in true get-up-and-go style, whether you are out for just the day or week ending. The boat’s layout and proportions work well, and it shares all the practical features and robustness of its fishing-orientated sisters. With a choice of outdrive or outboard-powered offered, it was the most welcome entry into an underpopulated sector of the market.”
