Designed by Roy Lunney for Newbridge Boats, the Virgo
Voyager is a strongly constructed small cruiser, with excellent
accommodation, providing up to five berths if required, with
six foot headroom in the saloon. The high freeboard and cabin
top needed to achieve this is disguised considerably by the
styling, with wide contrast stripes along the boot-top, under
the gunwales, and around the coachroof, where the painted
stripe continues the line of the tinted windows |
