Practical Information
Description
MAXICAT VICTORIA is a 33.5-metre catamaran designed to combine speed and comfort offshore. Formerly known as Club Med, she made sailing history by winning The Race 2001, a round-the-world regatta, under the command of renowned New Zealand skipper Grant Dalton. Converted into a fast cruising yacht, she underwent a complete refit in 2017 and 2023, preserving her exceptional performance while integrating modern equipment for comfortable sailing with a reduced crew.
With her innovative design and lightweight carbon construction, MAXICAT VICTORIA delivers impressive speed while ensuring excellent stability. Her high-performance rig, including a 39.5-metre rotating carbon mast and a sail inventory mainly composed of NORTH SAILS from 2017, complemented by a Doyle J3 and a Doyle gennaker, allows for smooth and efficient sailing. Her interior has been arranged to accommodate up to 10 people, with a clear separation between the owner/guest area and the crew area. The catamaran is equipped with advanced navigation systems, Starlink satellite connectivity and an autonomous energy system including solar panels and wind generators, offering great autonomy at sea.
Ready to sail, MAXICAT VICTORIA is ideal for both fast bluewater cruising and offshore racing. Her balance of performance, comfort and safety makes her an exceptional choice for sailing enthusiasts seeking a unique experience. Whether for offshore adventures or elegant coastal cruising, this catamaran combines history, innovation and nautical excellence.
