All about Colvic 40 Victor version
Colvic 40 Victor: a handcrafted deck saloon! The Colvic Craft shipyard was located in Colchester, in the heart of England, and built many boats such as the Colvic 40 Victor, designed in 1979 by John A Bennett. This very solidly built ketch features a deck saloon which was rarely seen at the time. What we refer to as a deck saloon is in fact a prominent, largely glazed roof with a raised saloon underneath, enabling the crew to sail under cover and enjoy wide-ranging views.
At Colvic Craft, these types of models were called Victor, while pilothouse models were called Watson. The shipyard became renowned for building heavy, very solidly built, lightly sailed and heavily motorised boats. Fifties, trawlers and cruising sailboats. It is important to understand that the British boating industry does not follow the usual rules of a shipyard in which boats are built from scratch.
Instead, a number of factories such as Colvic Craft mould hulls and supply them to builders, occasionally very small-scale artisans. Hulls can be bought at various stages of completion. They are fitted out and rigged, often afloat, in very traditional conditions. This explains why it is difficult to find similar boats, and why they all age in their own ways. Nevertheless, these boats are almost indestructible and form excellent bases for renovation projects.
