The Valiant 42 is the refined successor to the legendary Valiant 40, a vessel often credited by nautical historians with pioneering the "performance cruiser" category. Designed by Robert Perry and built by Valiant Yachts in Gordonville, Texas, the 42 was introduced in 1992 as an evolution of the original hull. While it utilizes the same iconic double-ended hull form as its predecessor, the Valiant 42 features a re-engineered deck, a more efficient foil-shaped keel, and a taller, double-spreader cutter rig. This model was born from a desire to address the custom needs of serious offshore sailors, offering improved stiffness and updated construction techniques that effectively eliminated the osmotic blistering issues that plagued some early West Coast hulls from the late 1970s.
