Victory 41 – Rare Sloop-Rigged Blue Water Cruiser *reduced price*

Victory 41, a development of the legendary Van de Stadt Victory 40/Trintella IV. This specific vessel is a "100:100" motorsailer: it offers a powerful rig on a traditional long-keeled hull, paired with a near-indestructible diesel engine.

✨ Key Highlights:

• Unique Sloop Rig: Unlike the typical ketch-rigged Victory 40s, this is the only Victory 41 sloop-rigged (approved by Van de Stadt Design). Easier to handle and very capable.
• Built to Last: Solid GRP hull (moulded by Tyler Boats in Tonbridge, Kent) with sound teak decks and a substantial stern arch.
• Power: Equipped with a 5.9L Ford Dorset 100hp diesel with Mermaid marinisation. Fuel tank capacity is 100 gallons. Three bladed fixed propeller.
• Off-Grid Ready: Massive 400W solar panel setup supplies all the power you need, supplemented by a 300W Rutland wind generator and engine alternator.
• Exceptional Interior: 6’ 2” headroom. Cabin layout: Forecabin, forward heads, saloon, aft heads and aft cabin (under a raised poop deck). 6 berths.

⚓ Condition & History:
I am the second owner of this yacht in 40 years (have had it for 10 years). She is a great boat due to the care she has always received. She is currently ashore and ready for inspection. I am selling due to a move abroad ☹️

The teak decks are sound; the cockpit/wheelhouse wood coating is flaking and would benefit from a light refresh, but the underlying structure is solid.
