[FS] Victoria 30 - "Victoria"

dummy@example.com (Admin) — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 06:48:25 +0000

From the owners:

It's with extremely heavy hearts that we are considering selling our beloved Victoria 30 'Victoria'. Re-engined and re-rigged in 2019, Victoria is currently EU VAT paid and lying afloat inland in north Netherlands. This might perhaps suit someone who wishes to sail within Europe and/or beyond, and hence we welcome serious enquiries from any potential purchaser who would like to discuss further.

Please direct enquiries to web@victoriashadow.co.uk and I will forward them to Bev. Please include your contact details in any enquiry.

FS: Victoria 26 - "Bonny Flighty" - Lytham Dock

dummy@example.com (Admin) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 07:26:06 +0000

Posted on behalf of a member who is unable to post themselves.

Bonny Flighty is a Victoria 26 which is a small, long keeled offshore cruiser. She was built in 1985, moulded by Northshore and fitted out by Rampart Marine. She has a white GRP hull with style stripes.

Long keel with lead ballast
Self draining cock pit
Tiller steering to keel hung rudder
She is easily handled

My father bought her in 2017 but sadly has never really been sailing in her only getting out a handful of times and he is now too unwell to do so. See PDF for supply/fit, maintenance works.

Please contact Imogen on 07971718748.

Design for bimini / sun shade for Victoria 30 usable whilst sailing?

dummy@example.com (Bill_Robinson) — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 22:14:22 +0000

Hi Chris,
I had exactly the same dilemma on Inyoni, my Frances 26. Here is what I did, hopefully t will give you some ideas.
First I changed to an end of boom mainsheet set up. To do this, I added to extra, aft angled legs to the pushpit, and a cross over tube as a traveller. The mainsheet block is attached to this by means of a wrapped Dynema soft shackle.
The forward end of “sailing awning”, as I call it, is attached to to dodger using a zipper. The after edge is supported on a hinged SS bow which is supported on the pushpit, and tensioned by simple line tackles. There are also two zippered side panels. If you look at the Chuck Oaine Facebook page, you can see some photos. In June I helped a friend deliver his Victoria 800 from Plymouth to Portugal and once South of Lisbon we got fried!
