About the Vicky Marie

This 32 foot Fairline with command bridge was built in Richmond in 1985. Engines have been rebuilt (starboard in 2014, port in 2017) and she has had no more than 50 hours running time since the last rebuild. Pacific Yacht Systems installed two chart plotters, two radios, AIS, a new depth sounder and an invertor.  

Additional upgrades include replacement of winch solenoids, new house and engine batteries, a new head, plus additional minor work. Risers and manifolds were replaced in 2022. 

In 2023, Vicky Marie underwent an out of water survey and all repairs have been completed.

Lovingly restored, the Vicky Marie has original teak interiors and sleeps three. The boat is located in Vancouver, and her new owner can keep the current mooring. 

The Story

The Vicky Marie is owned by Professor Anthony Bailey who has recently retired and left Vancouver. A well known expert in the field of autism, Dr. Bailey is donating the proceeds of the sale of the Vicky Marie to ACT- Autism Community Training, a BC based not-for-profit. ACT, like many charities, is facing a difficult financial future. The price on the Vicky Marie is $35,000 or best offer.
