The Valiant 50 represents the pinnacle of Robert Perry’s "performance cruiser" philosophy, evolving from the legendary Valiant 40 and the subsequent Valiant 47. Built in Texas by Valiant Yachts, this flagship model was created by adding a permanent bowsprit to the Valiant 47 hull, which moved the center of effort forward and allowed for a more balanced sail plan. As a heavy-displacement, double-ended cutter, the Valiant 50 is designed specifically for long-range shorthanded voyaging. It remains one of the few production yachts that successfully balances the safety of a traditional canoe stern with a modern underwater profile, including a fin keel and a high-aspect skeg-hung rudder.
