The Valiant 32, designed by the legendary Robert H. Perry, stands as a quintessential example of the "performance doubleender," a concept that revolutionized offshore cruising in the mid1970s. As a direct descendant of the groundbreaking Valiant 40, the 32 was engineered to provide the same bluewater security and tracking stability of a traditional canoestern vessel while incorporating a modern fin keel and skeghung rudder for improved speed and maneuverability. Primarily constructed by Uniflite in Bellingham, Washington, the Valiant 32 was built to endure the rigors of ocean passages, though its legacy is inextricably tied to the material innovations and subsequent challenges of its era. It remains a coveted choice for solo sailors and couples seeking a rugged, goanywhere vessel that prioritizes structural integrity and seaworthiness over the highvolume interior aesthetics of modern coastal cruisers.
