SOLD! 1997 Valiant 42 "Seiche"

The Valiant 42 is the quintessential cruising boat. Designed by Robert Perry for short-handed, long-distance sailing/cruising, its superb sailing characteristics are well-known. It is extremely well-balanced and sails fast and flat with little leeway. It has several features that make it desirable for people planning to ‘live the dream’ either permanent or seasonal. The exterior is low maintenance and safe. Decks are fiberglass with non-skid; the toe-rails are aluminum; hard-top dodger with heavy duty stainless steel supports and isinglass windows; lines come back to the cockpit; cockpit is deep and separated from the rest of the deck by the elevated coaming & excellent drainage; the canoe stern deflects water in following seas. The interior has extensive storage, comfortable accommodation with a 2-cabin 1-head layout; a sea-safe galley; large chart table with electronics array easily accessed; hand-holds throughout; head, with shower; excellent ventilation through 6 hatches and 11 opening portlights. ‘Seiche’ (hull # 126) has been cruised extensively, with refurbishments in 2011 and 2016, as well us upgrades since 2022. It was sailed from Canada to Trinidad – and places in between – by its first owners. Over the past 2 years the current owners have sailed ‘Seiche’ on the East Coast of the US between Beaufort, NC, the Chesapeake Bay and Maine.
