Owners and experts praise the Valiant 40 for its sailing characteristics and reliability offshore.

  • Offshore Capability: The boat was designed for world cruising and has been highly successful in long ocean races. It is capable of consistent 160-mile days on passage.
  • Handling: Reviewers note the cutter rig is well-balanced, making it manageable for single-handed sailing or a couple. The fin keel and skeg-hung rudder provide improved maneuverability compared to older full-keel designs.
  • Construction: The hull is solid, hand-laid fiberglass.
  • Interior: The interior layout was innovative for its time, featuring two private double cabins and a U-shaped galley that is secure for use while underway
    • Offshore Prowess: Owners report the boat is exceptionally predictable in the open ocean, with many noting its ability to comfortably maintain 160-165 mile days during passages.
    • Balance: The cutter rig is widely lauded for its balance; owners frequently mention they can steer with "one finger" or rely heavily on windvane steering like the Monitor Windvane.
