Victoire 855 for sale

A beautiful and well-maintained Victoire 855, second owner, and has been in the owner’s possession for 18 years. With a draft of 120, it’s perfect for

A great opportunity for enthusiasts looking for a solid and reliable Dutch-built cabin sailboat with a draft of 120, making it suitable for all inland waters, and a mast height of 1240, so that even the Hollandsebrug is no problem. This gives her a wide sailing range; she is, of course, also suitable for larger bodies of water and the open sea.

It is with mixed feelings that the second owners are parting with their beloved sailboat. Unfortunately, illness has forced them to sell her. But for you, as a prospective buyer, this is an opportunity to own one of only 34 Victoire 855s ever built. The boat has always been well-maintained—not only when it comes to the engine, etc., but, as can be seen in the photos, all cushions, sails, and lines are faithfully taken home every winter. The boat will soon be taken ashore for winter storage, but don’t let that stop you from scheduling a viewing—who knows, you might be able to use this winter to plan some wonderful sailing trips for the upcoming season.
