Victoria 30
Description
The Victoria 30 (also known as the Victoria 30 (Paine) or the UK-built version of the Morris Leigh 30) is a pretty, long-keel, canoe-stern pocket cruiser designed by American naval architect Chuck Paine in the late 1970s/early 1980s. It shares hull lines with Paine’s earlier Frances 26 and Victoria 26 designs (and the US-built Morris Leigh 30). The boat was built by Victoria Marine Ltd. in Warsash, Southampton, UK, from 1982 into the mid-1990s, with only around 50 hulls produced — making it a relatively rare and sought-after classic among traditionalists.
