Valiant Ychts 40 used

Defined by its reputation as one of the most significant performance cruisers in American sailing history, the Valiant 40 represents a unique opportunity to own a proven bluewater vessel. This specific unit, Talìa (hull number 240), was built by Uniflite in Bellingham, WA in 1980 and has benefited from a rigorous and well-documented maintenance program spanning over two decades. The vessel has undergone extensive technical updates, ensuring modern reliability while preserving its classic lines. Recent major interventions include a 2026 deck renovation, an anti-osmosis treatment, and a 2025 electrical upgrade featuring a 420 Amp LiFePO4 lithium battery bank with DC-DC charging systems. The sail inventory is equally impressive, enhanced by a new 100m2 Parasailor and a laminated staysail added in 2025. Technical peace of mind is provided by a 2002 engine replacement paired with a sail drive and a 2023 cooling circuit overhaul. Accommodation on board is designed for comfort and extended voyaging, featuring 2 cabins and 1 head. The interior has been refreshed with new upholstery and LED lighting with integrated USB ports, while the cockpit benefits from a 2022 teak replacement. With a length of 12.17 meters and a beam of 3.8 meters, the hull geometry—characterized by a long waterline and high prismatic coefficient—continues to deliver the sailing performance that earned this model its place in the Sail Magazine Hall of Fame. This used boat is currently located in Italy and is offered with VAT paid. Please note that the sale price is subject to agency commissions.
