Introduced in the mid-1970s, it was immediately regarded as a “performance cruiser,” a status that has been cemented over the decades since.The Valiant 40 launched the career of the young Bob Perry, who was convinced that cruising boats did not have to be slow to be safe and comfortable. In plan view, the Valiant 40 has a very traditional shape. In profile, above the waterline, its appearance is “a combination of old and new.” Below the waterline, the story is “very different.” The high prismatic coefficient, low wetted surface area, low displacement-to-length ratio, and long waterline are reminiscent of the racing boats of the early 1970s. Over the years, the boat has sailed all the seas of the globe, with many circumnavigations to its credit. The Valiant 40 was in production until the early 2000s as a semi-custom build and remains a must-have in the U.S. for those seeking seaworthiness, sailing performance, and classic lines..
