Custom Ted Brewer Design #98 - full-keel pilothouse offshore cutter built for serious bluewater cruising
VICTORY is a rare, custom 1995 Ted Brewer 44 offshore cutter designed as Brewer Design #98 and built in Everett, Washington for a knowledgeable West Coast owner. Conceived from the start as a true passagemaker, VICTORY combines classic Brewer seakindliness, a secure full-keel underbody, a practical cutter rig, a flush deck, and the protection of a pilothouse into a yacht intended for extended offshore cruising and comfortable living aboard.
With only four owners since new, VICTORY has clearly benefited from thoughtful stewardship and continued upgrades. Her Detroit Diesel 3-53, updated Garmin electronics, Starlink connectivity, solar charging, MarineKinetix wind generation, dual steering stations, full canvas protection, and substantial tankage make her well suited for modern independent cruising. Her Quantum sail inventory was replaced in 2019 and includes a gennaker, giving her useful versatility across a wide range of conditions.
For a buyer seeking a capable alternative to production center-cockpit cruisers, VICTORY offers something far more distinctive: a custom Ted Brewer offshore yacht with honest passagemaking proportions, tremendous storage capacity, serious tankage, and the kind of traditional design integrity that inspires confidence offshore.
