The Valiant 402 represents the refined, secondgeneration evolution of what many maritime historians consider the most influential offshore cruising yacht of the late 20th century. While the original Valiant 40, penned by legendary designer Robert H. Perry in 1973, broke the mold by proving that a "performance cruiser" could feature a fin keel and skeghung rudder rather than a traditional heavy full keel, the 402 is the iteration built primarily in Texas by Valiant Yachts beginning in the early 1990s. This model retained the iconic doubleended (canoe stern) hull form but utilized updated construction techniques and modern resins, successfully distancing the brand from the blistering issues associated with the early "Uniflite" era of production. The 402 is fundamentally a "blue water" vessel, designed for longpassage reliability, and served as the direct precursor to the Valiant 42, which utilized the same hull with an added bowsprit.
