valiant 42 sailboats for sale

The Valiant 42 is a direct descendant of naval architect Bob Perrys seminal Valiant 40, the first of which was built by Uniflite in Bellingham, WA, and launched in 1975. The 40 was a commercial and critical success: Some 200 were eventually built, and the boat, which is credited with introducing the term performance cruiser to the sailing lexicon, was inducted into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame in 1997.

The Valiant 40 also had early success on the race course and in mara-thon shorthanded events like the OSTAR, the BOC Challenge, and the Bermuda One-Two. Mark Schrader became the first American to circumnavigate via the five Southern Capes aboard his Valiant, Resourceful, in 1983. The list of other significant voyages in Valiant 40s not to mention the countless miles sailed by ordinary cruising couples and families is quite remarkable.

Valiant 42

However, well over a hundred of those original Uniflite Valiant 40s were seriously flawed. A fire-retardant resin employed in the construction of the boats from 1977 to 1981 was eventually deemed the culprit in countless cases of severe hull blisters. Many are the tales of frustrated Valiant 40 owners undertaking tedious bottom repairs.

The blistering problems were addressed once and for all by 1984, when Texas Valiant dealer Rich Worstell purchased the company and began building the boats using isopthalic resins alongside Lake Texoma, about an hour and a half north of Dallas. Rich Worstell remains in charge, though his son, Kris, is being groomed as the successor of the family-owned business.

DESIGN The Valiant 42, which was introduced in 1993, is a refined, updated version of the original Valiant 40. This tried-and-true offshore cruiser continues to meet the needs of long-distance sailors. An important change is the rig, which evolved from a single-spreader configuration to a taller, double-spreader spar that boosted light-air performance with 77 square feet of additional sail area. By adding a beefy stainless-steel bowsprit, the overall balance of the boat under sail was also addressed.

The keel is now in its third iteration and, with input from keel specialist Dave Vacan’ti, the foil has been shaped with a larger leading edge and smaller trailing edge for improved lift and efficiency. An additional 1,800 pounds of ballast further enhanced stability.

The biggest change is the new deck, which is built without any hatch bosses. Hatches are added later to suit the various interior arrangements. The cockpit has been redesigned with higher coamings that encircle the entire space on the V40 they terminated aft of the primary winches that are better suited to halt the ingress of water. The interior of the 42 adds more headroom to that of the 40, and there are now five different accommodation plans from which to choose. Because it is a semi-custom boat, an owner can tweak these basic layouts.

To this day, Bob Perry notes that the rounded stern was a design feature foisted upon him by the original builder for marketing considerations, and not a direction he wouldve taken if left to his own devices. It was 1973, he said. Westsails were all the rage. Everyone wanted the Colin Archer look. But I do have to say, double-enders are pretty. Theyre aesthetically pleasing. They conjure up all sorts of romantic notions.

Modern boats with broad, square sterns in general can provide bigger cockpits and expanded seat-locker storage. Theyre more stable and buoyant and, when heeled, increase the vessels effective sailing length.

But if the canoe stern was a marketing compromise, Perrys approach to the underbody was not. The Valiant 42 has a fine entry, relatively long waterline and full sections aft, and there is nothing Colin Archerish about the detached, separated keel and rudder, which minimize wetted surface and were a radical departure for offshore cruising boats at the time, when full keels were the widely accepted approach for long-range voyaging. The keel/rudder configuration gave the boat the performance edge.

DECK LAYOUT The massive stainless-steel bowsprit/pulpit that gives the 42 its extra two feet of length is fitted with a Schaef-fer System 3100 roller furler and dual bow rollers working in unison with the standard Lighthouse windlass. Its a big, hefty, reassuring platform for handling ground tackle.

There were seven Lewmar Ocean System hatches on the boat we sailed, as well as a pair of fiberglass Dorade vents with stainless cowls and guards, and a series of Hood cast stainless-steel opening ports with screens. Owners can add or subtract hatches to modify ventilation for their cruising climate.

An Antal whiskerpole adjustment track works in tandem with a Forespar whisker pole for poling out headsails; a spinnaker pole package is an option. Genoa tracks are recessed, which is good news for barefoot sailors. A rugged, custom traveler set-up is stationed just forward of the hard dodger/bimini. The traveler controls and mid-boom Lewmar mainsheet system are led aft through the dodger to a pair of Lewmar winches that are stationed just behind dual sets of Antal rope clutches to handle the mainsheet, single-line reefing controls, halyards and traveler. The placement of the halyard winch under the dodger makes grinding the last few inches of the main halyard a bit difficult, as its tough for the grinder to get sufficient purchase above the winch. An electric-winch would be an option to consider here.

The Valiant 42 doesn’t have a dedicated boom vang, but off the breeze the spar can be controlled by a pair of preventers that are led aft both port and starboard from the boom, via deck blocks, to dedicated clutches stationed just outside the cockpit coaming. Cockpit size limits the wheel dimensions, but the relatively diminutive 32-inch stainless-steel destroyer wheel on an Edson radial-drive pedestal is more than adequate. In keeping with the theme of offering a low-maintenance boat, theres no teak on deck beyond a pair of optional planks on the bowsprit, an eyebrow near the traveler, the companionway trim, and the swim-ladder steps. The cockpit seats are over seven feet long and fine for sleeping underway. The standard Lewmar 58CST primary winches are reassuringly oversized.

SYSTEMS The standard Valiant 42 comes with a freshwater-cooled, 44-hp Westerbeke diesel with 2.13:1 reduction gear and V-drive transmission with a dripless shaft: A 55-hp Westerbeke is an available option. Engine access is good via fold-up companionway ladders, the lower of which is secured by barrel bolts. A single Racor fuel filter/water separator is easily accessed and standard (theres room for an optional second unit), as is the oil-change pump. Switches for the optional generator (available in 5 kW or 7.6 kW), windlass, 12-volt DC power and 110-volt AC power are all located on a shared distribution panel aft of the companionway steps. All the tinned, copper wiring runs meet ABYC specifications. Valiants Rich Worstell has an aviation background thats evident in the attention to detail that the electrical panels exhibit and in the custom manifold system, and every color-coded wire, as well as all valves and hoses, are scrupulously labeled.

Batteries are situated under the aft berth near the water heater and are arranged in a two-bank system, with four gel cells in the house bank and a single gel cell as the starter battery. A 100-amp alternator is standard, along with a 110-volt automatic battery charger.

The split, alloy fuel tanks are stationed to either side of the lazarette, from where they can be easily removed if necessary. Custom-built stainless water tanks are situated beneath the port and starboard settees and are also removable. If desired, more tankage can be added in lieu of the generator in a locker aft of the engine under the cockpit, or in the storage space under the forward v-berth. Hot and cold pressure water is standard, as is a foot pump in thegalley.

ACCOMMODATIONS Valiant offers five basic interior layouts for the 42, from which owners are encouraged to customize the details. There are three Center Entry versions with an amidships companionway: the Center Entry Queen and Center Entry Pullman both have a single aft head and are differentiated by the layout of the forward stateroom and main cabin.

The Center Entry Queen/Two Heads has a second head forward. The two Side Entry models have companionways offset to starboard. They lack the CE versions separate showers. The Side Entry Traditional follows the original Valiant 40, with a forward head and V-berth. The Side Entry Pullman has an offset berth in the forward cabin and an aft head.

Our test boat was a Center Entry Queen with 6 5 headroom throughout and a generous berth in the forward cabin that measured  6 6 (long) x 7 (head) x 19 (foot). A divided chain locker is forward of the berth (a hawse pipe directs the chain aft to another locker under the foot of the berth) and theres plenty of storage in overhead lockers and below the berth.

A cedar hanging locker and small seat oppose each other at the aft end of the stateroom.

The main cabin has a pair of settees on opposite sides of the dropleaf table, just forward of the U-shaped galley to port. The galley features a 3-burner stainless-steel oven, twin stainless sinks and a Seafrost 12-volt refrigerator. The forward-facing nav station is to starboard. The single head and a dedicated wet locker are behind the navigators seat at the foot of the companionway. The aft berth to port measures 68 x 48 and is well situated for a shorthanded voyaging boat; its a good sea berth and close to the action should off-watch crew be required on deck in a hurry. A clever opening in the berths side bulkhead can be opened for ventilation or topsides communication, and closed for privacy in port. Overhead and lets not forget, this boats built in Texas is a long gun locker that would also work well for chart storage.

PERFORMANCE We sailed hull number 73 of the Valiant 42, Tir Na Nog , on a fluky fall afternoon on Narragansett Bay near Barrington, R.I., the home of Valiants New England dealer, Anchor Yacht & Ship Sales. Given its track record, theres no  reason to believe the 42 wont be a solid performer in good breeze, so it was informative to put the boat through the paces on a day with moderate air.

We started out in about seven-to eight-knots of true wind, with the 42 making 3.9 to 4.2 knots as registered by the GPS with a full Dacron main and high-cut 130 percent genoa from Quantum Sails. The boat tacked through 105-degrees in flat water and, not surprisingly, was slow gaining momentum out of the tacks. With a displacement of over 24,000 pounds, this was hardly a surprise. But once the boat gathered way it moved well and the helm was light and effective.

The boat responded well to a building sea breeze. In 12-knots of wind it recorded 5.2 knots close-hauled. At 14 knots, we managed 6 knots upwind. We bore off to a beam reach in fading wind and the boat made 6.4 to 6.6 knots in 10 knots true. By the time we eased off to a broad reach with a wind angle of 120 degrees the breeze had faded to between 6.5 and 7.5 knots, and boatspeed hovered between 4.5 and 4.7 knots. The boat was fun to sail, particularly when steering from the coaming with a good view of the tell-tales. Given the conditions, performance under sail was very good.

At 2,500 RPM in a slight chop and moderate wind, the 42 made 6.6 knots under power. Maneuverability and handling were excellent. The boat turned in a boat length or less and backed down nicely with the standard 3-blade prop.

CONCLUSIONS The Valiant 42 is a solid, well-built, long-range cruising boat that will take competent owners anywhere they wish to sail. Some sailors will find the 42s double-ended profile to be hopelessly dated or old-fashioned, while others will find pleasure and take comfort in its tried-and-true lines. Theres no question the hull form has been well tested in the gravest offshore conditions.

The 42 is an expensive boat: Anchor Yachts boatshow special in Newport, R.I., last fall was just under $375,000 for a sailaway package, including sails and limited electronics. But Valiants hold their value well. A survey of YachtWorld.com in mid-October showed eight Valiant 42s on the market, all built between 1995 and 2004, with asking prices from $319K to $359K.

Depending on ones budget, if one was sold on the Valiant concept, it might make sense to search for an older V40 beware of blister pox and put the money saved into a long-term cruise. But if moneys not an object, and you have your heart set on a new V42, youll be rewarded with a solid cruising platform that, for a yacht, is a good investment.

Description & Details

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WHEN VIEWED ON A MOBILE DEVICE THE LISTING SHOWN ON YACHTWORLD IS VERY ABBREVIATED. VISIT OUR WEBSITE WWW.YAZUYACHTING.COM TO SEE THE FULL LISTING SPECIFICATIONS.

The Valiant 42 is the quintessential cruising boat.  Designed by Robert Perry for short-handed, long-distance sailing/cruising, its superb sailing characteristics are well-known. It is extremely well-balanced and sails fast and flat with little leeway.

It has several features that make it desirable for people planning to ‘live the dream’ either permanent or seasonal.  The exterior is low maintenance and safe. Decks are fiberglass with non-skid; the toe-rails are aluminum; hard-top dodger with heavy duty stainless steel supports and isinglass windows; lines come back to the cockpit; cockpit is deep and separated from the rest of the deck by the elevated coaming & excellent drainage; the canoe stern deflects water in following seas.  The interior has extensive storage, comfortable accommodation with a 2-cabin 1-head layout; a sea-safe galley; large chart table with electronics array easily accessed; hand-holds throughout; head, with shower; excellent ventilation through 6 hatches and 11 opening portlights.

‘Seiche’ (hull # 126) has been cruised extensively, with refurbishments in 2011 and 2016, as well us upgrades since 2022.  It was sailed from Canada to Trinidad – and places in between – by its first owners. Over the past 2 years the current owners have sailed ‘Seiche’ on the East Coast of the US between Beaufort, NC, the Chesapeake Bay and Maine.

Seiche has the following equipment:

Westerbeke 55HP engine w/ approx 3800 hours (see Engine & Mechanical) New MaxProp (2023) Balmar 150A  Smart Alternator Lewmar ST46 Electric Secondary Winch (2022) Electronics updated 2016:   *Datamarine Wind, Depth & Speed   *FURUNO Chartplotter   *FURUNO Radar   *Alpha 3000 Autopilot ICOM IC M700 SSB w/ tuner  Monitor Wind Vane Spectra 12V Watermaker (9.6 GPH) Sci-Tex  AIS transceiver with WiFi Solar Panel and Controller (Shell, 84W) HOOD Sails  – Mainsail, Genoa, Staysail 4 Spare Halyards Hardtop Dodger (Factory installed) Solid S/S Stern rail to gates Outboard motor lift Bruce 66lb and Bruce 44lb Anchors w/ chain & rode (anchors and chain re-galvanized 2016) Electric windlass

If you are looking for a tried and tested blue-water cruising boat, look no further than ‘Seiche’!

The sought after side entry which allows a larger aft cabin to port companionway leads down to a short vestibule with three, large storage lockers  to starboard and the aft cabin. The honey colored interior teak is what is what first catches the eye. The varnish glows and the joinery is superb. The teak is contrasted with white headliner, cabin-sides and galley bulkhead and the large stainless steep portlights. 

The aft cabin has a double Pullman-style berth, storage below the berth, lockers with shelves, situated above double doors that provide engine access.  There is plenty of room to stand, an overhead hatch and 2 opening portlights for ventilation and a door that leads into the vestibule.

The engine compartment can be entered through a hinged door behind the companionway stairs. This allows remarkable space to access the engine as well as the starting battery and much of the equipment associated with the electrical, electronic and mechanical systems.

Forward of the vestibule, to starboard is the forward facing nav station with full sized chart table, cushioned bench with storage beneath, electrical panel and  electronics on the hull side.  To port is the well appointed, U-shaped galley with separate fridge and freezer (SeaFrost 110v/engine driven), sinks, stove, counter workspace and custom storage cabinets.

Forward of the galley is the L-shaped settee which can pull out to form a double berth.  There is a water tank below the settee and storage above and behind.  The sturdy salon table is centerline with leaves that fold up. To starboard is a straight settee with water tank below and storage above and behind.

The forward bulkhead has a door which leads to the head and V-berth. The storage to starboard includes a cedar hanging locker in the vestibule and locker with shelves in the cabin. To port is the head, with basin, Groco toilet and shower.

The V-berth and thus the forward section of the boat was lengthened by 6 inches to accommodate a longer berth and more storage, which includes cabinets & bookshelves at the aft ends of the V-berth and cabinets down each hull side. The hull sides between bunk and cabinets is lined with ash strips .  An overhead hatch and the large portlight to starboard provide provides ventilation and a door at the foot of the bunk gives access to the chain locker.

The Valiant 42 is the evolutionary successor to the Valiant 40, sharing the look and styling of its legendary predecessor. Over the years, the Valiant line of bluewater passage-makers has always reflected a commitment to product evolution and refinement. Valiant began the major shift in the direction of the Valiant 42 with the introduction of the "Series 90" Vacanti keel. Not only does this keel deliver state-of-the-art performance, it also results in a lower center of gravity and provides for a shoal-draft capability, heretofore unavailable without resorting to centerboards and tricky bulb-type protuberances. Significantly, the Valiant 42 deck features a cockpit that is completely wrapped with an offshore coaming for both comfort and safety. Seating areas are fully guttered and an expanded, recessed propane storage system is included as well. The frontal portion of the cabin trunk is contoured in its transition to the foredeck. The deck design provides for maximum flexibility, while the below-deck volume is increased. There are no predetermined locations for the hatches, portlights and companionway. There are enough variations within the three basic interior arrangements of the Valiant 42 to offer an almost unlimited choice to the customer. The Valiant 42CE or Center Entry, provides for a more open interior and yet allows for a true three-cabin layout. The head is located aft, and the two, separate, double staterooms greatly enhance below-deck livability. The Valiant 42 features a double spreader rig which is matched with a short bowsprit to maximize sailing efficiency.

Model 12.8 Cutter

1984 Brewer 12.8 Cutter After her extensive refit in the past two years, Marathi is an excellent example of one of the original 10 Brewer 12.8 Cutters designed by Ted Brewer, and built by Ft. Myers Yacht & Shipbuilding in 1984, for members of the Knickerbocker Yacht Club on Long Island, who wanted an improved and updated version of the legendary Whitby 42. Brewer incorporated their ideas, had new molds built in Ft. Myers, and the 12.8 designation makes these yachts truly unique from all the other Whitby, Brewer 42 and 44 yachts. Major changes from the Whitby 42 included a Cutter Rig instead of the Whitbys Ketch Rig, a modified long fin keel with a centerboard and a skeg-hung rudder. With improved engineering such as having a Central Sea Chest for all Sea water intakes instead of multiple through-hull and sea cock fittings, the fleet of Brewer 12.8 yachts are lighter, stronger, faster, and carry more ballast for stability than the Whitby 42. With a Sail Area to Displacement ratio of 16.74, Marathi has comparable performance and handling characteristics to the renowned Valiant 37 & 40, designed by Bob Perry, but with the added advantage of being able to gunkhole in many sheltered harbors in Florida and the Caribbean, not accessible to deeper draft bluewater cruisers. Her 4'6" draft is ideal for cruising the shallow waters of the West Coast of Florida and the Bahamas, yet with the centerboard down, her 9' draft provides plenty of stability, upwind pointing ability, and offshore performance with a well-balanced helm. The Listing Agent has sold and sailed on two other Brewer 12.8 vessels, and owned and sailed on his personal Brewer-designed yacht for the past 15 years with a similar underbody configuration, except a modified bulb keel instead of a centerboard, and can attest to the excellent sea-kindly, yet lively performance you can expect from this 1984 Brewer 12.8 Cutter.  If you are looking for a turn-key bluewater cruiser with all the right gear and recent updates; look no further because these are but a few of the recent Upgrades: 2005 Yanmar engine, Dell computer with a fully-integrated suite of Navigation Electronics, including Radar, Autopilot, Active & Passive AIS B, Depth, Speed, SSB, VHF with DSC, displayed on a 19 Acer high-resolution Monitor utilizing Maptech & SeaClear GPS Chartplotting programs. New 16,000BTU A/C, new MASE 4.5Kw Generator with only 121 hours, Two 12V Electric Primary Winches, Marine Village 48 GPD Watermaker, Mack 2015 Full-Battened Mainsail, 440W Solar Panels, 1800W Inverter, SS Rails instead of Lifelines, 2013 SeaFrost 12V Refrigeration, 8 @ 125 Amp Trojan Batteries, new interior light fixtures, & new Lewmar Deck Hatches. This 1984 Brewer 12.8 is also equipped with a custom aluminum Stern Arch for Solar panels, antenna and integrated Dinghy Davits, plus an aluminum Swim Platform with SS Swim Ladder. She
