  • Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY

    Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY

    Cruising THE ISLANDS OF ORKNEY his brief guide has been produced to help the cruising visitor create an enjoyable visit to TTour islands, it is by no means exhaustive and only mentions the main and generally obvious anchorages that can be found on charts. Some of the welcoming pubs, hotels and other attractions close to the harbour or mooring are suggested for your entertainment, however much more awaits to be explored afloat and many other delights can be discovered ashore. Each individual island that makes up the archipelago offers a different experience ashore and you should consult “Visit Orkney” and other local guides for information. Orkney waters, if treated with respect, should offer no worries for the experienced sailor and will present no greater problem than cruising elsewhere in the UK. Tides, although strong in some parts, are predictable and can be used to great advantage; passage making is a delight with the current in your favour but can present a challenge when against. The old cruising guides for Orkney waters preached doom for the seafarer who entered where “Dragons and Sea Serpents lie”. This hails from the days of little or no engine power aboard the average sailing vessel and the frequent lack of wind amongst tidal islands; admittedly a worrying combination when you’ve nothing but a scrap of canvas for power and a small anchor for brakes! Consult the charts, tidal guides and sailing directions and don’t be afraid to ask! You will find red “Visitor Mooring” buoys in various locations, these are removed annually over the winter and are well maintained and can cope with boats up to 20 tons (or more in settled weather).
  • Kirkwall to Westray

    Kirkwall to Westray

    Sailing notes downloaded from the Orkney Marinas website. www.orkneymarinas.co.uk Kirkwall to Westray We hope you find these notes helpful and of interest to you while planning your sailing trip to Orkney. Please note they are not intended to be used for navigation The quickest journey time from Kirkwall to Pierowall is on the ebb, leaving Kirkwall to cross the Westray Firth on the last of the ebb as by the time the tide is running N.E through Fersness and Weatherness sounds. It makes little difference to the journey times when leaving Kirkwall whether one goes out through Vasa or the Bouyed channel nearer Gairsay, Vasa probably best on the ebb, Bouyed best on the flood. When crossing the Westray Firth if there is any westerly type weather it is advisable to keep well over to the Green Holmes and across to Seal Skerry on the west side of Eday. In westerly conditions, the further west one goes the worse the conditions are with a very rough edge of tide running from Seal Skerry to the SW corner of Rusk Holm and NW to Rull Noost off Wart Holm especially during the last 2 hours of the ebb. Best avoided. If conditions are not adverse let the tide carry you to the west of Rusk Holm and NE to Weatherness, this is the quickest route. Fersness or Weatherness sounds can be used with the deeper water in Fersness. The tide in both places tends to run east for 4 hours and west for 8 hours. If sailing from Kirkwall during flood tide your journey time will be somewhat longer.
