Valiant Yachts are legendary – the standard by which all other bluewater cruising sailboats are measured. No other sailboat manufactured today even comes close to equaling the success that Valiant has had in making safe, successful offshore passages and circumnavigations. With well over three million nautical miles under Valiant hulls, they have earned their reputation the hard way – one circumnavigation at a time – as the world’s most successful offshore cruising sailboats ever. Fast, weatherly, tough and superbly built. The ultimate bluewater sailboat – and they’ve proven it!
