"Selah" is a wonderful example of the iconic Bob Perry design Valiant 40. The Valiant 40, voted the "Offshore cruising boat of the decade" by Sail magazine is a wonderful offshore or local cruising boat. She is fast, safe, comfortable and still a cruising favorite with her fin-keel skeg rudder, and canoe stern configuration.
"Selah" was in the final stages of her preparation to go offshore cruising when plans changed. She as been upgraded and prepped for cruising from updated electronics, electrical, mechanical, solar, deck gear and down to the Monitor wind vane.
The interior is the traditional layout with a few upgrades from additional storage tp port in the main salon, new upgraded electrical panel, a large galley for the discerning chef and 2 comfortable cabins. The large nav station is comfortable and very workable.
Please call to arrange a viewing of this cruise ready boat, and be out in the islands for the season.
"Selah" has the traditional teak Valiant 40 layout.
The chain locker is in the very forepeak with access from V-berth. Next aft is a V-berth stateroom with filler and starboard aft hanging locker followed by a passage with a locker to starboard and enclosed head compartment with separate shower to port. There is abundant storage in the way of shelves, hanging locker and drawers in forward stateroom.
The main cabin has a port side settee/berth (converts into double berth) followed by a secure offshore U-shaped galley, featuring plenty of storage. A starboard side settee/berth followed by a generous sized chart table. The dining table folds up out of the way and is stored against the main salon bulkhead.
At the base of the companionway steps you'll find access to the engine compartment, and lockers to starboard and to port, access to the aft owners stateroom. The aft stateroom has a large double berth.
