The Victory 40 hull has proven its self as a capable offshore, long distance cruiser. The same Van de Stadt designed hull underpinning the European built Trintella IV. With its traditional lines and stepped sheer the Victory 40 gets admiring glances wherever she goes.
Fitted with a doghouse the Victory 40 CORSAIR is ideally suited to cruising in northern climes. Purchased by her current owner specifically to complete a circumnavigation of the UK CORSAIR successfully completed the trip during the 2022 season and proved to be ideally suited to short handed offshore cruising. During the previous ownership she cruised the length of the Mediterranean in the south, the Baltic and the coast of Norway from Stromstad to Tromso, alongside cruising her local waters of the Scottish west coast and the northern isles. CORSAIR has benefitted from continual re-fitting and upgrading throughout the last two ownerships and boast a comprehensive inventory. Some of her highlights include:
Preventative epoxy hull treatment applied in the 1990’s

OWNER’S COMMENTS:
MANUFACTURER HISTORY:
The Tyler Boat Company (UK) was founded by Edward Tyler, originally an English house builder. As early as 1946, Tyler had been using fibreglass moulds in the production of concrete panels for prefabricated houses. Alongside this he had also started to experimented with various other uses for the new material including the waterproofing of boat decks. In later years he founded the Tyler Boat Company. The company quickly established itself in the growing market of mass production GRP boat building. For many years it became one of best-known builders of fibreglass yachts in the world.
Alongside its own boats the company contract moulded hulls for many of the leading brands of the day both in the UK and throughout Europe. When such contracts ended and the model production had ceased Tyler secured a deal allowing bare moulds to be offer for home completion or custom fit out by smaller yards.
