I don’t have any first hand knowledge of either 18 but I used to own a Mac 222 . when my kids were young we would spend a week each summer sailing in the NC outer banks in that boat
I don't know if you already bought your boat, but I owned a Vic, and they are beautiful boats and easy to trailer. Not as easy to sail, though, for a novice sailor. Also, the freeboard is a little low. Otherwise it would fit your needs. I don't know anything about the Tritons.

@Biosci777 , can you elaborate on what makes the Victoria 18 harder to sail?
The rigging is a bit more complicated; for example, the mainsheet is in a pulley system attached to a traveller, which is more than the boat needs in my opinion. I'm not a strong sailor, and I found the boat a lot to handle, especially on a windy day. A good sailor wouldn't have much trouble. I have sailed a ComPac 16 and Chrysler 20, both of which were easier to sail. One more note: the Vic has a nice big cockpit, but I found the last couple feet needed to be clear for the tiller to swing around. Don't get me wrong -- the Victoria 18 is a lovely boat and well-made. I recommend it to any decent sailor.
Hello RPD677 and welcome to the SBO forums! Have your boat search adventures included this site in the classifieds, Craigslist, sailboatlistings, and boattrader? Take your time and see as many boats as you can in your area. RE: boat information. Have you looked on sailboatdata.com ? That site will offer dimensions and weights on many, many sailboats. There might even be some diagrams to show interior and exterior views. From what I know of the boats you mentioned they each have "the look". The sleek appearance of the hull and the stern shape each are appealing to observe. Best Wishes and stay healthy, 31seahorse

Buy the best kept boat with the most stuff added. When you have to add stuff to make it perform better or more convenient, you're going to spend a lot of extra money!
The Victoria looks like an older design (1977) and the keel might make launching and retrieving a problem at many ramps. The heavier weight might also call for a heftier tow vehicle than what you now have. Sailing, the long keel and small rudder look like they might make maneuvering tricky coming in to tight situations - or make situations trickier than they'd have to be if you can't turn quickly. The Pearson is lighter and shallower with the board up, so getting it in and out of the water might be easier. The centerboard on the Pearson appears to be tucked neatly under the cockpit sole and extending into the cabin. It is deep when down, but short, so pivoting quickly in tight spots might be easier. The good-sized rudder, placed all the way aft on the transom, should make handling responsive.
The Victoria 18 specs that I've seen indicate that neither weight (1200# plus trailer plus gear) or draft (2') should be a problem for trailering behind most vehicles that are properly equipped for towing 2000#. I have no personal experience with the model, so I can't comment on any other pros or cons.
This isn’t an answer to your question, but it’s practical advice that’s relevant. For $3000, condition will be more important than anything else. Buy the boat that is in the very best condition. You are buying a 45 year old boat and trailer for under $3000,, and there are bound to be maintence issues that need fixing which costs money and time. fiberglass lasts almost forever, but everything else on a sailboat falls apart. what would you expect to get for your on a 45 year old car? A $3000 truck? It’s not a dissimilar question. If it’s your first boat, be aware that most old boats require $1500-$3000 in addition to the purchase price to address deferred maintenance. You may need Tires, Springs, trailer rollers, trailer lights, Sails, Uv-damaged blocks, structural,repairs to decks, etc

Who Was on the Sunken Yacht? Tech Mogul Mike Lynch, His Family and Friends.
Mr. Lynch, the former chief executive of the software firm Autonomy, who was acquitted on fraud charges in June, was with friends and family when the yacht went down in a severe storm.
- Share full article
By Michael J. de la Merced
Michael de la Merced reported on Mike Lynch’s career and legal battles over the course of 13 years across two continents.
A cruise on the Mediterranean Sea aboard a superyacht was supposed to be a celebratory event for the British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch , who was acquitted in June of fraud charges tied to the sale of his company, Autonomy, to the tech giant Hewlett-Packard.
Instead, it turned into a disaster after the yacht, a 180-foot boat called the Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily in a violent storm. Of the 22 people aboard, 15 were rescued and seven others died . Search operations ended on Friday after the final body was recovered from the site of the sunken yacht .
Here’s what we know about the passengers.
Mike Lynch and his family
Mr. Lynch, 59, is a British software entrepreneur who had once been described as his country’s Bill Gates. He founded the software firm Autonomy, which analyzed clients’ unorganized data, and turned it into one of the most prominent British technology companies of its time. He became a widely known corporate leader, who advised David Cameron, the British prime minister at the time, and joined the board of the BBC.
In 2011, Mr. Lynch sold Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion, which was far above its market value, earning him hundreds of millions. But HP investors almost immediately soured on the transaction, and the American tech giant quickly fired its chief executive — and then Mr. Lynch.
HP later accused Mr. Lynch of misleading it about the state of Autonomy’s business, setting off a decade-long legal ordeal for the British executive, who denied the accusations. U.S. prosecutors charged him and other executives with fraud, and Autonomy’s chief financial officer was convicted in 2018.
Despite appeals to the British government, Mr. Lynch was extradited to the United States last year and was confined to a townhouse in San Francisco ahead of his criminal trial, which began in March. Facing the possibility of decades in prison if convicted, Mr. Lynch and another colleague were instead acquitted of all charges.
An official in Palermo, Sicily’s capital, said on Thursday that Mr. Lynch’s body had been recovered. His wife, Angela Bacares, 57, accompanied him on the yacht, and she was rescued on Monday when it sank. She was a consistent presence at his trial in the United States. Records show that she controlled Revtom, the company listed as the owner of the Bayesian.
The body of Hannah Lynch , Mr. Lynch and Ms. Bacares’s 18-year-old daughter, was thought to be recovered on Friday.
The other guests
Jonathan Bloomer, 70, chair of Morgan Stanley’s international arm and the chairman of Hiscox, an insurance provider that trades on the London Stock Exchange, was on the yacht when it sank, along with his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71. Their bodies are thought to be among those recovered, but Italian authorities have not identified them.
Christopher J. Morvillo, 59, a New York-based partner at the international law firm Clifford Chance, was also on the yacht. A former federal prosecutor who comes from a family of prominent lawyers, Mr. Morvillo represented Mr. Lynch during his criminal trial in San Francisco. His wife, Neda, 57, was with him on the yacht. Their bodies are also assumed to be among those recovered.
“We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” a representative of Clifford Chance said in a statement.
Surviving passengers rescued from the yacht include Charlotte Golunski, a partner at Mr. Lynch’s venture firm, Invoke Capital; Ms. Golunski’s husband, James Emslie; and their one-year-old daughter Sophie. Also rescued were Ayla Ronald, a lawyer at Clifford Chance, and her partner, Matthew Fletcher.
The yacht had a crew of 10, and nine were rescued. The body of the chef, Recaldo Thomas, was recovered from the water, the Sicilian Civil Protection Department said.

Trimmed well, the Victoria 18 will sail quite quick in a light breeze, and with the roller furling, it's easy to reduce sail area if the wind picks up. And with only a small amount of teak, she's easy to maintain. The sails alone are worth $1200. We're asking $2200 (OBO) for the boat, sails, trailer and all associated rigging.
