Victory 40 ‘CORSAIR’ – SOLD

Thursday 26th August 2021

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to announce the successful sale of the Victory 40 Ketch ‘CORSAIR’.

The Victory 40 hull has proven its self as a capable offshore, long-distance cruiser. The same Van de Stadt designed hull underpinning the European built Trintella IV. With its traditional lines and stepped sheer the Victory 40 gets admiring glances wherever she goes.

Fitted with a doghouse the Victory 40 CORSAIR is ideally suited to cruising in northern climes. In the current ownership she has enjoyed cruising the waters of the length of the Mediterranean in the south, the Baltic and the coast of Norway from Stromstad to Tromso, alongside cruising her local waters of the Scottish west coast and the northern isles. Set-up for shorthanded cruising her current owners have sailed predominantly with just two aboard. CORSAIR has benefitted from continual re-fitting and upgrading throughout the last two ownerships and boast a comprehensive inventory. Some of her highlights include:

• Preventative epoxy hull treatment applied in the 1990’s
• Stiffening of the decks in way of the mast steps 2004/05
• Installation of new Yanmar 4JH3-TE engine 2005
• Installation of new Aquadrive unit and all new sterngear 2005
• 3 blade VariProp feathering propellor fitted 2005
• Vetus Bow Thruster installed 2008
• Raymarine Autopilot system renewed 2012-2014
• Raymarine C125 MFD Chart plotter and Radar 2012
• Avansea AIS Receiver 2012
• Raymarine Instrumentation new 2012
• Aerex wind generator 2011
• Gas galley stove replaced 2021
• Webasto diesel air heating system 2005
• Mainsail and working jib fitted new 2014/15
• Tubular davits 2011.

Now in the ownership of a keen sailing family CORSAIR will be remaining locally based in Argyll until next year before departing on a circumnavigation of the UK in preparation for adventures further afield in years to come. We look forward to hearing where she carries her new owners in the years to come.
