The Valiant 40 is the definitive pioneer of the "performance cruiser" category, a design that famously challenged the 1970s status quo of heavydisplacement, fullkeel cruising yachts. Designed by Robert Perry and introduced in 1973, the model merged the aesthetic appeal of a traditional doubleender with the underwater geometry of a modern racing boat. The production run between hull numbers 101 and 199 represents a pivotal midperiod for the model, built under contract by the Uniflite Corporation in Bellingham, Washington. This specific range is historically significant as it spans the transition into the infamous "blister years," where the use of fireretardant resins created a longterm technical legacy for many hulls produced between 1976 and 1981.
