The Nelson influenced hull design gives sure footed handling in testing conditions.
Whilst compact and light enough to be towed behind a family car on an unbraked trailer in light trim*, the 452 is no lightweight when it comes to seakeeping. The Nelson influenced hull design gives sure footed handling in testing conditions.
Pronounced V in the flared forward sections ensures a soft ride and plenty of beam aft combined with moderate V make for stability under way and at rest. The monocoque deck is bonded to the hull and backbone resulting in a rigid high strength to weight structure.
There is a solid and practical steering console with stowage within and plenty of space for electronics. The aft seats provide stowage for two fuel tanks and between them there is a neat semi concealed plinth for the battery. Launching and recovery is simple and hassle free, made even easier with the optional Orkney multi roller trailer.
Orkney has worked closely with the engine manufactures below to ensure it is well suited in order to give the best mix in performance and economy.
