Light grey GRP superstructure with moulded non slip to coach roof and teak to side decks, cockpit and cockpit lockers. Chuck Paine designed shoal draught keel with a modest 'T' shaped foot. Whitlock wheel steering to skeg hung rudder. Teak capping and hand rails. Twin bow roller stem head fitting. Self draining anchor locker. Aft self draining cockpit with self draining gas locker aft and three additional cockpit lockers.

The Victoria 34 is a modern classic cruiser designed by Chuck Paine, they have a powerful sailing performance, thanks to a moderate to heavy displacement. With a superior build quality, they make an excellent, long distance, family cruiser with practical accommodation. This particular late example has been in the same ownership from new and benefits from new standing rigging in 2024 and new genoa in 2022.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a well equipped, safe cruising yacht, presented in excellent order. Viewing strictly by appointment through Howard Ford Marine Sales.
