Our 1976 Valiant 40, “Momo” is for sale!
We are nearing the end of a year-long family sailing adventure and sadly we must now sell our beloved boat. We are currently cruising Momo in the Bahamas and will be making our way to the East Coast soon. Momo is well equipped for cruising and is ready to go.

Momo is in excellent sailing and mechanical condition. She does need some cosmetic work, particularly exterior painting, and has been priced accordingly. She has cosmetic blisters, which all Valiants of her age have. She had them when we bought her 3 years ago and like many Valiant owners, we chose to ignore them and just sail her, and the next owners can choose to do the same or put in the work to get her back to Bristol shape. Because of this, we bought her on discount and will sell her on discount. Regardless, Momo sails beautifully and is ready for her next adventure.


We will deliver her anywhere on the East Coast if she sells in the next couple months.

Price: $73,000 USD
