Victory 17
Description
The Victory 17 is a compact fiberglass trailerable sailboat designed by Roger Stuart and built by Victory Yachts (a division of Halmatic Ltd.) in the UK from 1972 to 1976, with approximately 200 units produced. It's a pocket cruiser known for its sturdy construction, simple rigging, and versatility for solo or family daysailing, weekending, or coastal hopping. Often described as a "mini offshore" boat due to its seaworthy lines and lifting keel, it's popular among beginners and trailer enthusiasts for its ease of handling and affordability.
