Victoire 22
Description
The Victoire 22 is a classic Dutch pocket cruiser designed in the early 1960s by Dick Koopmans (of D. Koopmans Jachtontwerpers) and built by Victoire Yachts (also known as Victoire Jachtbouw) in the Netherlands. Production ran from 1961 onward, with approximately 1,100 hulls built over the years, making it one of the more successful small Dutch production sailboats of its era. It was aimed at serious coastal and inland cruising (including North Sea conditions) with a focus on robust construction, stability, and simplicity rather than high performance.
