Mechanical
The
Valiant engine room pretty amazing because you literally can walk in! The
Valiant 40 is simply the best engine access you can hope for. It is a breeze
to work on with easy access to all systems. The engine has been rebuilt and has been highly complemented by every mechanic we have used. She has been regularly maintained and it shows.

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!

GROUND
TACKLE:
There
is a reason that serious sailors choose a Valiant. The build quality is among
the best there is. From the handlaid solid glass hull, to the hull deck joint
is bolted and glued with 5200. The deck is built of a sandwich of fiberglass
over coring with solid glass reinforced areas where deck hardware is attached
securely with backing plates.
