The Valiant 39 is a Robert Perry design built for blue-water cruising, featuring robust hand-laid fiberglass construction, a 39-foot hull with an 11.5-foot beam, and a single 30-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The yacht achieves a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 7.2 knots. It accommodates two cabins and one head, with ample deck and interior space suited to extended offshore passages.
The boat is equipped with a comprehensive suite of navigation and cruising systems: Simrad multi-function display, radar, autopilot, a Monitor windvane, and EPIRB. Power management includes a Victron electrical system paired with a solar array, supported by five carbon-foam Firefly batteries. Anchoring is handled by 300 feet of 5/16-inch chain. The galley features a three-burner LPG stove with oven, Sea Freeze refrigerator and freezer, and a Spectra watermaker. Deck equipment includes an electric cockpit winch, hard dodger, hard bimini, and full enclosure cockpit canvas. An Achilles dinghy with a 5-horsepower Honda outboard is included.
Recent improvements demonstrate consistent maintenance: the Yanmar engine has fewer than 80 hours, standing rigging was renewed in 2018 and inspected in 2020, the Flexofold propeller dates to 2018, and the monitor windvane lower unit was serviced in 2025. The electrical system and solar installation are from 2021, with fresh LPG stove and batteries added in 2020. The bottom was last painted in 2024, and a new cutlass bearing was installed that same year.
Additional cruising gear includes lazy jacks, storm tri-sail track, a life raft, and navigation tools. The boat is equipped and maintained for serious offshore sailing.
