42' Valiant CE Pullman '96

 

 

 

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE VERY BEST OCEAN CAPABLE WORLD CRUISERS THAT’S READY TO DEPART TO ANYWHERE-NOW. ALL AT A VERY FAIR PRICE.

 

So, you want to sail far over the horizon to places that you’ve dreamed about going for years now, all while working your butt off and saving up for that dream vessel?

 

Choosing and buying the right boat for that journey should be based on a proven track record of successful miles sailed, a boat that has done it over and over again, one that is built like a tank but sails and soars like an eagle. A boat was designed to be hassle free, one that can be owner-maintained anywhere, because out there, there is no Tow Service to save you. Here’s a boat, a vessel to fulfill one’s longing for adventure. There is none finer.

 

Our offering is a wonderfully renewed, properly cared for, and offshore-equipped 1996 Valiant 42. A true cutter with beautiful a flowing sheer, powerful hull/stern and bow; an extremely comfortable and safe voyager. A proven timeless classic.

 

“Fellowship” offers the unique Pullman layout. Her interior is meant for a couple or single handed sailor who wants a large sail and gear storage area forward, a very comfortable double berth to port, and a living area that will make wining, dining and relaxing ever so fine. And then there is the famous Valiant “U” shaped galley, which works on all points of sail. Of course, the aft head to starboard of the companionway with her stall shower and aft double sea berth to port rounds out a perfect offshore voyager. And yes, we can’t forget the amazing walk-in engine room.

 

All systems are accessible, and the boat is just a powerhouse of a sailor. It’s definitely quality over quantity.

 

“Fellowship” has received a major refit just a few years ago of over some $190K.
