Accommodations
The Valiant 40 is a blue water boat designed with two staterooms, one head, huge galley, comfortable salon, and loads of storage and wonderful access to all systems. Momo is the original Bob Perry layout that also had a beautiful pilot berth outboard of the settee on the port side of the main salon. As a result, she sleeps up to seven in three cabins. Starting in the forward V stateroom, with a double custom mattress, side shelves, hanging locker and ample storage underneath. The enclosed head is to port with a NEW marine composting toilet, shower, vanity with stainless steel sink and hot & cold pressure water. The main salon is traditional with port and starboard settees, the outboard pilot berth on the port side, and a centerline double drop leaf teak table.  There are bookshelves outboard of the starboard settee. Next aft to starboard is a large sit down forward facing Nav station and chart table with storage outboard and below. Opposite on the port side is the famous Valiant Bob Perry galley with ample space and a recent propane stove and oven. Just aft of the bulkhead is the aft stateroom with large double berth is to port, with a double mattress for ultimate comfort at sea, a locker and a dressing seat. It is a great cabin that offers a wonderful sea berth also. Aft of the nav station on starboard are two large lockers. The companionway stairs are removed for access to the walk-in engine room.

Sail and Rigging
She has had her chain plates replaced and she has all new standing rigging as of 2011. The Valiant is a proven offshore vessel with a true cutter rig with keel-stepped mast. The mast and boom and all the rigging were replaced about 10 years ago. The cutter rig provides a divided sail plan so that the sails are smaller and easily managed. The mainsail has mid boom sheeting to the traveler just forward of the dodger. Both headsails have Schaefer Roller Furlers and all lines are led to the cockpit for easy single-handed sailing.

Hull, Deck, & Ground Tackle
Everything on a Valiant is seriously overbuilt and Momo has been upgraded and restored several times in her lifetime. Momo’s robust hull was laid up by Uniflight in 1976 and cosmetic blisters have shown up on the topsides between the water line and the toerail. Still the hull is more substantial the most modern boats floating. There are plenty of Valiant 40s that have goon three times around the world with cosmetic blisters, giving their owners the opportunity of a lifetime to sail one of the world's best sailing boats!
CONSTRUCTION:
  • Hand laid solid glass hull
  • Cored deck reinforced with solid glass in areas for bedding deck hardware.
  • Hull deck joint is attached with 5200 and thru bolted every 8 inches
  • Keel is external mounted lead ballast bedded with 3M5200 and through bolted stainless steel J-bolts with stainless steel backing plates
