The Valiant 37, designed by the legendary Robert H. Perry and launched in the late 1970s, represents a refined evolution of the "performance cruiser" concept that Perry popularized with the larger Valiant 40. Built by Uniflite in Bellingham, Washington, the 37 was conceived as a serious bluewater voyager capable of maintaining high average speeds without sacrificing the seaworthiness traditionally associated with heavydisplacement doubleenders. While often considered the "little sister" to the 40, the Valiant 37 is a distinct design, offering a more manageable scale for solo sailors or couples while retaining the robust scantlings and distinctive aesthetic that defined the brand. It bridges the gap between the compact Valiant 32 and the globetrotting Valiant 40, providing a balanced platform for those seeking a hull that is both "seakindly" and surprisingly agile.
