Victoria 34

Victoria 34 – 1990 - £58,500
The Victoria 34 is an attractive & timeless cruising yacht designed by the renowned Chuck Paine, a winning combination of traditional and elegant lines above the waterline and a modern efficient shape below. They are easy to handle with excellent sailing performance and have a comfortable sea kindly motion.

Victoria Yachts were well respected for their no-nonsense build quality and this 34 is equally at home doing long distance sailing or more gentle local coastal cruising.

‘Symphony’ has benefited from a number of upgrades in recent years including all new standing rigging, Selden slab reefing boom, and a new mainsail in late 2025, a professionally repainted hull in 2023, and her electrical systems have been brought up to date with a recent charger, inverter and solar power installations. Now, only offered for sale due to our vendor’s acceptance of his recent, physical health restrictions.

This Victoria 34 is fitted with a bow thruster giving much improved manoeuvrability at close quarters and a feathering prop adding to her performance.
