There just simply isn’t a more capable off shore, world-rounding
yacht you can buy today, easily handled by one or two crew, that can
take you anyplace you might want to go. The V42 is a brilliant design
by Robert Perry that enjoyed a 35+ year production run. Patty D was
featured at the 2005 Fall Annapolis Boat Show in all her glory. Her
owners have cruised her extensively since new. She’s extensively
equipped for long range cruising with just about every piece of gear
you might need. She’s in outstanding shape and ready to set sail to
her next destination.

Some Valiant history
Like automobiles, yacht designs and models tend to come and go, most
having very short life spans. When a manufacturer’s model lasts for 35
years, you just know they must have done something right. Here’s the
scoop on this boat.
Valiant 40/42 built from 1975 to 2010
Original V40 originally designed in 1973, some 200 were built
Valiant 42 introduced in 1993
Design improvements over the V40: taller rig, 77 sqft increased
sail area, custom hatch locations, higher cockpit coamings, and more
interior headroom
Robert Perry design brought the first ‘performance’ cruiser to
market with off shore qualities of comfort, stability and safety:
modern wetted surfaces, long fin keel, fully skegged rudder
Inducted into the Sailboat Hall of Fame in 1997
Fastest single-handed Southern Ocean circumnavigation in 1983
