Broker Remarks
1985 Victoria 30
This Victoria 30 has been significantly refurbished by the current owner over the past six years including new engine, controls, plumbing, wiring, rigging, sails, electronics and much more which is reflected in the asking price. The layout is traditional and combines comfortable, safe, and secure, long distance passage making accommodation for two people with ample space for four or five on board for shorter cruises. The double-ended hull is balanced and sea kindly with fine directional stability and a good turn of speed. Her present owner purchased ‘Jenny Wren’ 6 years ago and has now decided to retire from sailing. Presented in very good condition viewing highly recommended
