This late model Valiant 42′ is attractively priced, and this is now your opportunity to own a rarely found and exquisitely equipped yacht for worldwide cruising.
Kallithea is among the best equipped, ready-to-cruise Valiant 42s on the worldwide market.
Our new offering, the ever so popular center-entry queen V-berth Valiant 42, Kallithea, was laid up in 1994 and has been tenderly cared for since then.
We are very pleased to present this Valiant 42 completely outfitted for cruising and in excellent condition. As you know, Valiant Yachts stopped building new Valiants back in 2010 after being in continuous production for 35 years. If you missed the opportunity to get a Texas Valiant, here is your chance.
There is a good reason that the Valiant 42′ has remained the choice for cruising couples and solo sailors: they are easy to sail singlehanded or doublehanded as a cruising couple. The sailing characteristics of a Valiant 42′ are ideal for a couple, as the cutter rig provides a divided sail plan where everything is of manageable size.
On deck, the hard dodger, solid stern rails, and winches within easy reach of the helm reflect well-thought-out functionality that translates to comfort and safety. Renowned yacht designer Bob Perry’s Valiant 42s conjure up dreams of offshore cruising and long passages to distant and exotic locations. Kallithea is that boat. She is blue-water proven, having crossed the Panama Canal from San Francisco, sailed the Caribbean, cruised from Maine to the Chesapeake, spent two years in the Bahamas, visited Panama and the San Blas Islands, then returned to the Canadian Maritimes and is currently in Virginia.
The Valiant is safe and forgiving due to its heavy displacement, broad beam, canoe stern, deep cockpit, wide side decks, and strong rig. The storage is phenomenal, the galley is extremely spacious, and the interior accommodation is comfortable for a couple or for a family. Kallithea is a Valiant center-entry, with the central companionway and an aft head/V-berth stateroom—the most popular 42 layout ever. She is loaded with cruising gear and ready to take you and your crew on your next adventure.
This excellent Valiant 42 represents significant value in the world of great cruising boats. There are no teak decks, no Achilles’ heels, and virtually no weaknesses. Valiant 40s and 42s have been the choice for cruising couples for decades.
Time to quit dreaming—you can go sailing to all those tropical islands and faraway countries, starting today. There are great adventures awaiting you onboard your new yacht, the Valiant 42 named Kallithea. She will make a wonderful home and the best world-cruising voyager you could ever wish for, conveniently located in Hampton, Virginia.
