Notes: Derived from the earlier MINUET. \nTwo versions were built; A sloop and a very limited edition cutter with a bowsprit. \nThe number built listed is only a rough approximation.\nJust before the factory closed, a VICTORIA 17 was introduced, a shortened version of the 18 with an outboard rudder. It is thought that they exist in very small numbers.\n\nVictoria Yachts was a company founded by the designers son, Bill McVay.\nThe location was:\n203 Benson Junction Road\nDeBary, Florida 32713 USA
