Viko S30 Walkthrough

The Viko S30 is a small cruiser from the Polish Viko yard and offers an excellent value for money. The boat is simple and not a bluewater cruiser, but fits very well for cruising on lakes or for pure holiday sailing.

When will those Vikos be tested in open sea in the end. Sailing in 3bft on a like is fine with almost every boat ...

There is a test video already on YT. But they are not made for the open sea, those are coastal cruisers. Good value for money, but with some clear limits.

@@viatormarine I must admit I was at 2 fingers to buy the Viko 35 after visiting both 30 & 35 in a Belgian harbour, even if the 35 is starting from a stunning 75k€ budget to finally end up with 135k for a decently equipped version. But the "rumours" were against it: twisting structure in high winds on sea was the most obvious comment. And then indeed, I couldn't find any video or written review with a test in normal North Sea conditions (3-5/6 Bft + some waves).
Shame because both are very beautifully designed ships with a lot of class and charm.
If Poland is the country in which most manufacturers have their hulls made nowadays, why on earth can a Polish brand like Viko not play that asset out better?
In the end I went for a much smaller French race boat. Happy that it's fast, class A and super strong, but still a shame to have left the Viko by lack of better feedback.

@@fabienh3943 That was presumably a good decision. The North Sea is not the place for a Viko. The low price has a reason. Even thou, if the buyer is aware of the limits, they can make great holiday boats.

@@viatormarine Thanks for that honest reply. Hard to understand the principle of a 35 feet sailboat unfit for the open water. I presumed wrongly that was the true destination of all possible sailboats over 30 feet. I'm new in the business. That must be it 😉
