Victoria was designed by William Garden and built at the Robin Fong Yard in Hong Kong beginning in1975. She is a modified Porpoise 46 design featured in Yacht Designs II by William Garden. Victoria is built with all Teak construction, bronze rivets and an iron keel secured with Monel fasteners. Spruce masts are painted. All stainless steel rigging, stanchions, pulpit and chain plates are in excellent condition. Lifelines were replaced in 2023 with oversize stainless steel cable.
Victoria is powered by a Perkins 4.236 diesel with low hours and has a Balmar 100 amp alternator. Three diesel fuel tanks have a combined capacity of approximately 200 gallons. The 100 gallon main tank is monitored with Gobius sensors. Double Racor diesel fuel filters insure clean fuel.
A complete Raymarine electronics suite including Axion chart plotter, Evolution autopilot, VHF radio, i70 depth, speed, wind, DST 810 transducer, GA 2000 GPS antenna and Vesper Class B AIS were all recently installed during an extensive electronics upgrade.

The Mac is loaded with the current version of TimeZero navigation software and WxWorx marine weather software coupled with Sirius XM weather signals. A Starlink internet communication system enables world wide reception.
There is a 90 gallon stainless steel fresh water tank with a custom electronic water level indicator. A Shipmate propane stove in the galley is supplied by two vented propane tanks secured by brackets in a deck locker and is controlled by a remote solenoid switch. The vertical tanks each have an overflow protection device. A Dickinson diesel cabin heater provides warmth in the cabin.
Custom 12V and 120V electrical panels are installed in the main and forward cabins. 25’ or 50’ shore power cables supply 120v shore power. A locking connector with electrical isolator and reverse polarity indicator are installed. A Xantrex 2000 inverter/charger with bluetooth connectivity, remote display and control is in the main cabin. All cabin and exterior lights have been converted to LED lamps.
A Bose AV321 Home Entertainment System with four surround sound speakers and a powered subwoofer provide excellent sound. A bulkhead mounted Samsung 32” smart TV and Sirius radio complement the system.
Sail inventory includes a jib, staysail, main, mizzen, 150 genoa, storm trysail, storm jib, twin downwind sails with mast mounted poles, and a mizzen staysail.
