The Incomparable Valiant 42

We invite you to discover why Valiants are the most proven and successful cruising sailboats ever made for shorthanded ocean passagemaking and circumnavigating, the standard by which all other cruising sailboats are measured.

Sailing advertisements and brochures work hard to create and enhance a sailboat's reputation. But Valiant Yachts have earned their reputation another way - the hard way - through more than a quarter century of successfully voyaging on every ocean of the world, in virtually every imaginable condition. However, for the cruising sailboat shopper, it is not easy to dig through manufacturers' hyperbole to find a boat's true measure of sucess. At Valiant, we believe all of the following (non-prioritized) comparative considerations are critical to an informed decision:

Construction Quality
Sailing Performance
Comfort & Safety at Sea
Passagemaking Experience
Ease of Handling
Owner Satisfaction

Manufactured exclusively at Valiant Yachts' North Texas Factory on the shores of Lake Texoma, each new Valiant is handcrafted on a semi-custom basis, specifically for her new owner(s), fully commissioned and sea trialed before being shipped to her home port.

How great is the Valiant 42? She delivers true sailing magic. Come to the Valiant Factory to "Discover Why" or ask any Valiant owner.
