Valiant Cutter

ONE OF THE NICEST COMPLETE RENOVATIONS AND REFITS THAT THIS SEASONED VALIANT YACHT BROKER HAS EVER SEEN!!!

This Valiant 40 has proven offshore capabilities and was designed for blue water sailing. Naval Architect Bob Perry, has incorporated into this sturdy double ender, both seaworthiness and ample interior space that offers steady and comfortable cruising, and features the traditional or “CLASSIC” Valiant 40 layout. This is the layout, known WORLDWIDE as the look which made the Valiant 40 famous with sailors throughout the world and which has taken more sailors on circum-navigations, than any other production yacht.

 “DESTINY” is a perfect example of a classic Perry offshore design, incorporating a tumble home stern, bulwarks, dorades, opening ports, oversize rigging and quality construction, the Valiant 40 is a modern classic. Performance has become synonymous with Valiant and is in no small way responsible for its success. SAIL Magazine selected the Valiant 40 as the ”Offshore Cruiser of the Decade”.

Sold new to her original owner by the listing broker,  “DESTINY” is now again on the brokerage market, by only her 2nd owner in 20 years.  

THIS IS A RARE, HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED VALIANT 40!!!

“DESTINY” HAS JUST UNDERGONE A YEARS LONG RESTORATION!!!!!

THE RESULT  IS AN EXCEPTIONAL  YACHT WITH STELLAR CREDENTIALS.

Sail Magazine wrote:  “The Valiant 40 is a fast, offshore yacht.  Her clean and efficient design gives her a remarkable ability to point high while footing fast and makes her safe, comfortable and exhilarating. She has a stable, easily driven hull powered by a close-winded, versatile rig.  

Her hull features a modern split appendage, fin-keel and skeg-rudder combination. She has a graceful sheer rising to a flared bow and a salty, tumblehome canoe stern. Minimal overhangs fore and aft, coupled with canoe stern, contribute to a long-sailing length, with a bonus of increased space below decks. The bow flare is ample for a dry boat and it provides both a safe, workable foredeck and reserve buoyance to keep the bow from diving in a seaway.  Likewise, the stern parts a following sea in the same fashion as a “double-ender” while adding sufficient reserve buoyancy to keep the boat dry and reduce the chance of pooping.  There is also a moderate bustle development aft that increases the effective sailing length.

Without question, we feel that Valiant is the best-constructed production yacht in the United States, built for serious, appreciative yachtsmen.  Valiant 40: THE ULTIMATE BLUEWATER PERFORMANCE CRUISER.”

She is a beautiful cutter capable of going anywhere in the world. She is fast, responsive and capable of living aboard in great comfort and eagerly awaiting a new owner to put her through her paces in the open ocean….where she belongs!
We are pleased once again, to be involved with this VALIANT 40 - No one knows the history of this VALIANT 40  and Valiant Yachts, better THAN THE LISTING BROKER!
Her classic Valiant lines incorporate a tumble home stern, bulwarks, dorades, opening ports, oversize rigging and quality construction.  The Valiant 40 is a modern classic. Performance has become synonymous with Valiant and is in no small way responsible for its success.   

Accommodations

“DESTINY” sleeps six people in accommodations with the CUSTOM single-berth V-Berth, main salon settees and quarter berth cabin She sleeps up to six people in accommodations with the V-Berth, main salon and quarter berth cabin. Like all Valiant Yachts, the main salon settees and the quarter berth make excellent offshore sleeping quarters. The interior of the Valiant 40’ is dry, bright, comfortable and well ventilated with 11-screened opening ports, 4 large, opening hatches, a large companionway hatch and 3 dorades. All Valiants are styled with the heritage of the finest features found in the most sought after yachting accommodations and “DESTINY” is finished in furniture quality teak and select custom woods.

Cabinetry and features throughout this beautifully designed yacht, far exceed the standard layout of this much sought after traditional, side entry Valiant, with the Captains quarters in the port double aft quarter berth. She is a famous “traditional layout” Valiant 40’ which has taken more sailors on circumnavigations, than any other yacht design ever built.

Custom cabinetry including a custom, inlaid fold up teak table, with extensive cabinetry and stowage and other features of this beautiful yacht, mark the layout of a well thought out yacht, owned by a loving and creative sailor.

The spacious, central main salon is open and inviting with large settees, providing for comfortable berths at sea, a wide sole and numerous stowage areas.  

She features private accommodations for two couples in separate cabins, plus settee berths for additional.

Most  forward  and  aft  of  the chain locker, you will find the the V-berth with plenty of room for 2 people, storage cabinets to port and starboard and this owner has installed an additional cabinet forward, over the chain locker door.  There is tremendous storage under the V-berth, plus a starboard hanging locker. There is a large forward opening hatch above the berth. The forward cabin is closed off by a teak door.

Next aft to port is a large head, with ensuite shower with teak grate underfoot and ample storage including, several lockers and cupboards, behind the toilet, over the counter and under the sink. The head has water proof tiled walls, nice mirror and a small sink. Ventilation is excellent, with opening port in head, plus an overhead dorade ventilator.  There is an easy to use, Raritan Elegance electric toilet, with controller & sensor installed 2021/2022.

Directly across and to starboard are two very large, full length hanging lockers with bookshelves over and locker doors have
louvered vents for air circulation. There is a screened opening port to starboard.

Moving aft is the main salon which is located amidships with large comfortable settees to port and starboard, (ideal sea berths when on a passage) a custom bulkhead mounted, drop down mahogany table, for dining to port or which opens for a double, full salon dining table. The dining table has a custom inlaid pattern on all sides.  The table can be stored up to give more walking space and when down, a mahogany cabinet is seen on the forward bulkhead, which is great to use for storing glasses or your favorite beverages.  

The settees are spacious and comfortable with soft sunbrella upholstery fabric.  On the port side, there are 4 doors to storage areas above the settee with a shelf dividing each horizontally.  Behind the cushion backs are 2 more storage areas.

On the starboard side, there are 2 doors to storage areas above the settee with a shelf in each and an open shelf are, which is great for books or décor.  Behind the cushion back, there are 2 more storage areas.  The water tanks are below the settees.

There is excellent lighting in the salon area with the main light in the center of the area with additional lighting above each settee.  

There is a large, forward opening hatch overhead and large opening ports and 12 volt fans on the bulkhead. Storage is abundant. Teak & holly sole throughout.

Aft of the main salon and to starboard is a proper offshore, forward facing navigation station and chart table with tremendous room for the full compliment of navigation and electronic equipment for easy use while navigating. The large nav table has a large storage locker under the desk top, a deep locker and outboard, room for the additional electronic navigation and communication equipment.

The seat in the nav station is the same comfortable seating as in the salon and gives easy access to the electric panel, chart plotter & main electronic equipment.  There is also a good storage compartment with a false bottom under the nav seat, where the B & G DST 819 Depth/Speed/Temperature, Smart Sensor Transducer is located.

Just aft of the nav station and directly across from the galley are two huge lockers, one a pantry with 3 deep shelves, which provides a tremendous amount of space for provisions, the other, a large, full length wet locker which has been used by this owner to stow the ships ditch bags, medical kit and misc. gear. There is a teak grate built into the teak and holly sole, at the bottom of the companionway, to catch water from wet gear. With the wet locker and teak draining grate, which drains to the bilge, all foul weather gear is kept aft and away from the main living quarters. These 2 locker doors are ventilated.

Aft of the main salon and to port, is the classic “wrap around”  “U” shape configured, offshore safe galley, that will delight the gourmet, whether at sea or dockside. There is generous cabinet & counter space, 3 galley drawers, 2 lockers under the sink, 2 large lockers forward and aft of the stove accessed through the countertop, 1 large deep stainless steel sink with gorgeous “commercial style” faucett, 3 burner S.S. Force 10 Propane stove with Oven and Broiler. Along with Corian countertops , tiled backsplashes, and 2 overhead cabinets with see-through doors, and a modern & convenient icebox and refrigerator, this is one of the most beautiful and useful galleys we’ve seen on a vintage Valiant 40!!!    

Over the galley is a large opening hatch and an opening port for light and ventilation. There are extensive lockers and storage, outboard over stove and under counter, also a pressure fresh water system and 2 large provision lockers on each side of the stove.

Next aft to port is the Captains aft cabin. There is a double berth, in the traditional Valiant layout, with massive storage under and dressing seat and a clothes locker. The aft stateroom also has excellent ventilation provided by an overhead hatch, 12 volt fan and 2 opening ports and is the perfect place to sleep underway or at anchor.

The engine room is accessed when the companionway stairs are removed and also from the aft stateroom.  It is a spacious area and gives you a good area to work on either the engine or Genset.  There is good access to all parts of the engine and there is ample room behind the Genset to store engine supplies, including a small cabinet below the Genset as well.

There are 11 opening ports with screens, and 4 opening deck hatches, plus the companionway hatch, which provide a tremendous amount of light and superior cross ventilation.  There are also 3 Stainless Steel dorade vents, one over the head, one over the chart table and one over the “V” berth.  Below deck ventilation far surpasses the standards in the industry.  This yacht incorporates beautiful teak and holly sole with waterproof interlocking flooring in the galley.   

Below the water line, the hull shows a fine entry with a long cutaway forefoot followed by an efficient and modern keel section and a deep profile skeg hung rudder, just forward of a tapered stern section. This design combination readily separates the Valiant  from other traditional yachts and offers ease of handling and lively performance.
