Look like nice little boats......should do around 18knts with a 20. It will rock and roll a bit at anchor though  Give it a year and you will want a bigger one  Good luck with her and stay safe  |

Been really pleased with my Orkney. Mines a 16' Strikeliner. Very stable & well built. Just done my VHF course with Rob Perry marine at Portland. All usefull stuff. I'd reccomend you read the RYA booklets on the subject, also take a look at this online course. www.egmdss.com/en/Enjoy your new boat... |
