Here's what Classic Boat Magazine has to say about these fabulous boats: The Ray Wright Delta is a classic speedboat, originally inspired by the earlier Albatross speedboat. Designed in the 1960s and built by Ray Wright Ltd. of Beccles, Suffolk, the Delta featured a slightly longer hull to enhance cockpit and engine space, as well as improve stability and high-speed handling. Early models used aluminium construction, leveraging wartime aircraft manufacturing techniques. However, as aluminium became more expensive in the late 1960s, the design transitioned to fiberglass (GRP) construction for cost-efficiency. The boats typically feature Ford engines from the era, with performance likened to a sporty car on water, reaching speeds of 35-50 mph depending on the model and setup. These speedboats are praised for their sleek design, fun handling, and relatively easy maintenance. Some were upgraded with luxurious touches, such as walnut dashboards or chrome fittings. They remain a popular choice among classic boat enthusiasts for both their historical appeal and usability.
