Capri Victory 21
Description
The Capri Victory 21 (also known simply as the Victory 21) is a classic fiberglass sailboat designed by naval architect Ted Carpentier as a one-design racer-cruiser, first built in 1959 by Henry R. McCune Shipbuilders in California. Approximately 690 units were produced through various builders until the early 1980s, with Catalina Yachts marketing their versions as the "Capri Victory 21" starting in 1974. It's celebrated for its graceful lines, competitive performance, and trailerable design, making it ideal for club racing, daysailing, and weekend overnights. An Aurora 21 variant features the same hull with a larger cabin.
