Virgo Voyager Buyer's Guide
The Virgo Voyager is a 23-foot Roy Lunney design that evolved from the Corribee into a roomier small cruiser, with more than 350 built before the late-1980s end of production. For a shopper in the used Virgo Voyager market, the appeal is a surprisingly spacious interior and a seaworthy hull in a trailerable footprint, but the differences between Mark 1 and Mark 2 interiors matter when comparing used Virgo Voyagers.
Layouts on the Used Market
Two interior generations appear in the used Virgo Voyager market. The Mark 1 provides four berths — two forward and two saloon singles — while the Mark 2 gains a double berth in the galley for five total anchor. Both keep a separate heads, a rare feature at 23 feet, and a full 6 feet of saloon headroom. The galley has a sink and double burner cooker as standard; no oven was fitted, though space was left for one at the expense of stowage. Buyers should decide early whether four berths or a fifth galley berth suits their plans, since the layouts are not field-convertible without rebuild.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
An autopilot is commonly fitted across Voyager examples, useful given the modest 12-horsepower Volvo Penta MD6A diesel. Often-seen additions include a gennaker or spinnaker for light-air performance, plus radar and a chartplotter for navigation. For a buyer, the practical clusters are sail-handling variety (gennaker/spinnaker) and electronic navigation (radar/chartplotter) — the former extends cruising range in calm conditions, the latter reduces paper-chart reliance. An autopilot, being common, should not add premium value but its absence is a noticeable miss on a short-handed boat.
What to Inspect
The only documented accommodation compromise is the absent standard oven and the stowage trade if one was added anchor; verify that any owner-fitted oven has not gutted needed locker space. Confirm the Mark 1 versus Mark 2 berth layout matches the listing, as the galley double changes how five people actually fit.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Virgo Voyagers typically appear in the United Kingdom and Denmark. For the buyer, the short list is: confirm Mark 1 or Mark 2 berth count, check galley stowage if an oven was added, verify autopilot and navigation electronics are operational, and assess sail inventory including any gennaker or spinnaker. The boat rewards a careful interior survey more than a hunt for hidden defects.
