Valiant Center Entry Queen-Cutter

We are sad and are also proud to offer this amazing, absolutely beautiful, extremely well cared for 1997 Valiant 42 Center Entry Queen Layout Cutter Rigged World Cruiser. This boat belongs to one of my very best friends who just recently left us. He was one of the most respected surgeons in the world, donating a month each year, to saving poor children with spinal disorders in Honduras where they set up a jungle field hospital to treat those children. We sold him this extremely lightly used Valiant 42 some eleven years ago. During those years, this loving couple, a very experienced sailing couple who owned and sailed a Little Harbor 38 before this, has only sailed this beautiful Valiant once to Maine. Otherwise, she sailed our Bay only on an nice weekend occassionally. This year, the owner spent some 100k getting her ready for their retirement cruise South that never materialized.

Apogee, as she’s called, reflects what and who she is. This Valiant 42 has everything one would ever want and ever need. What she also has, is a soul and spirit left over from an Owner who knew love better than most and gave it. She reflects his thinking in each and every way. Apogee is heads above all other Valiant 42s currently available. She definitely will not disappoint.
