Easy to trail. Easy set up with two people. Shoal keel with 550 lbs. ballast can sail in shallow places and stays upright like a top. Perfect for two, fits 4. Floating picnic, fun to sail. Equipment: Trailer in good condition with spare wheel. 2 suits of sails plus Spinnaker. Self furling jib. Electric trolling motor. Solar Panel with battery. Sail cover. Cockpit tent. Cushions, spares and extras. Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more. CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) Derived from the earlier MINUET. Two versions were built; A sloop and a very limited edition cutter with a bowsprit. The number built listed is only a rough approximation. Just before the factory closed, a VICTORIA 17 was introduced, a shortened version of the 18 with an outboard rudder. It is thought that they exist in very small numbers. Victoria Yachts was a company founded by the designers son, Bill McVay. The location was: 203 Benson Junction Road DeBarry, Florida 32713 USA This listing is presented by SailboatListings.com .

 Looks like a nice toy.  SBO Weather and Forecasting Forum Jim & JohnIt's not a Montgomery but you will have lots of fun with her. 2 boats. You are really hooked. Congrats.  Going to need yet one more boat shed.. LOL.. Looks like huge fun!!! jssailem said: It's not a Montgomery but you will have lots of fun with her. 2 boats. You are really hooked. Congrats.

Click to expand  Wile looking at another thread about sail numbers it occurred to me: why is my sail number so high when there were only about 600 of these boats built? then it hit me. Sail number 79230 must be: built in 19 79 (it was) and number 230 in the series. Do any other manufactures use this format ?  She looks great Russ. 2 feet of draft looks like she can be run up nearly to the beach. That boat is going to give you a lot of fun this summer. What lake? Tweety? Seems I remember a cat and bird cartoon from the 50-60's - Sylvester and "Tweety"? May your summer winds make her fly. Know the area. Went by there when I was driving up to Crater Lake after leaving Grants Pass a couple of years ago. Very pretty area. If you get the bug to head our way, let me know. We have a couple of nice lakes she would have fun sailing. Detroit, and Green Peter come to mind. - This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register.

Derived from the earlier MINUET. Two versions were built; A sloop and a very limited edition cutter with a bowsprit. The number built listed is only a rough approximation. Just before the factory closed, a VICTORIA 17 was introduced, a shortened version of the 18 with an outboard rudder.
The Victoria 18 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with tapered anodized aluminum spars. The hull has a spooned raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel.
Victoria 18 is a 18 ′ 6 ″ / 5.6 m monohull sailboat designed by G. William McVay and built by Victoria Yachts Co. between 1977 and 1983.
I've been looking for a few weeks now for a boat under $3,000 with a trailer and have come across a Pearson Triton 18 and a McVay Victoria 18. I am looking for advice based on the ideal boat for outlined below.
The Victoria 18 is a 18.5ft fractional sloop designed by G. William McVay and built in fiberglass by Victoria Yachts Co. between 1977 and 1983. 600 units have been built. The Victoria 18 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer.
Victoria 18. Nice full keel (550 lb.) sloop, with black hull, and cuddy cabin. All standing rigging is in good shape, and running rigging is a little old looking, but completely serviceable. Very easily trailered and launched, and can be rigged by myself in about 25 mins.
1981 Victoria victoria 18. Burnsville, North Carolina, United States. Listed Mar 19. Expired. $3,800 USD. Seller's Description. Very nice condition, fun cabin day-sailor with overnight capability. Easy to trail. Easy set up with two people.
Designed and built by McVay boat yards. Hand laid fiberglass boat with a full keel. Comes with a trailer, new trolling motor, new deep cycle battery, small solar charger, main sail, jib, all lines and sail bag.
I may have figured out how to solve the problem many folks have with the lack of new sailors entering the sport. just buy a Vic 18 and park it near a busy roadway. It took me over an hour to get out of the graphics shop parking lot due to the people pulling in wanting to know all about the boat.
