The Viking 30 buchanan is a 30.25ft masthead sloop designed by Alan Buchanan and built in wood planked by Johnson, sons and Jago since 1960.
It accomodates 5 people in 1 cabins plus salon.
The Viking 30 buchanan is a very heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
