The Victoire 855 is a quintessential example of Dutch maritime engineering, designed by the legendary Dick Koopmans Sr. to bridge the gap between a spirited daysailer and a serious coastal cruiser. Introduced as a successor to the popular Victoire 822, the 855 offers a slightly more generous beam and an updated deck profile, yet it remains firmly rooted in the Koopmans philosophy of seaworthiness over fashion. Built by Victoire Jachtbouw in Alkmaar, this 28-foot GRP sloop was designed for sailors who prioritize structural integrity and "big boat" handling in a manageable, trailer-capable footprint. While the production of new hulls ended with the builder's closure in 2013, the 855 remains a staple of the North Sea and Baltic cruising circuits, prized for its ability to handle heavy weather that would send many modern, lighter-displacement boats back to the marina.
