Viking 30 buchanan
9 / 57 - score 88%
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 under powered. 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.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
