An undisputed ‘modern classic’ – the Victoria 38 is a highly sought after Chuck Paine design, renowned as a fast ocean cruiser, capable of safe, all weather passage making.
With purposeful lines that are guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes, ‘Tamar Swallow’ is a fine example of the marque, presented in excellent condition and ready for new adventures.
Having been repowered in 2017 and with teak decks removed this year, future cost of ownership issues have been addressed and she is ready to go.
These boats are rarely available – don’t miss the opportunity.
