DESCRIPTION

Buchanan Viking Class Sloop  -  1965  -  Just reduced down to £19,250

An attractive classic yacht designed by Alan Buchanan.

The Viking Class design dates from the 1950’s and was built by a number of different yards. Over the years the designer modified and improved the overall lines to provide a good cruising yacht that also rated well under the RORC rule - the Viking Class has an excellent record for racing, winning many off-shore events during the 1960’s & 1970’s.

This example was built by William Wyatt, West Mersea in 1964/65.
