2012 DanielP1Tester One-Off Design

VALERIANE is a one-of-a-kind sailing yacht designed and built in 2012. At just over 40 feet in length with a 12.6-foot beam, this bluewater cruiser features a lifting keel that allows it to navigate both open ocean and shallow waters. The hull is constructed from polyester composite reinforced with glass and foam, combining durability with light weight for strong sailing performance.

The deck is laid out for efficient handling, including self-tailing winches and ergonomic hardware suited to short-handed sailing. The aluminum rig carries a full suit of sails: fully battened mainsail, furling genoa, staysail, furling reacher, and spinnaker, enabling good performance across a range of wind conditions. The yacht cruises at 6 knots.

The interior provides three open cabins with generous natural light and a sense of space throughout. The saloon houses a full navigation station with chart table, while the galley is fully equipped with refrigerator, freezer, and a two-burner ENO stove with oven. Fresh and seawater pumps provide extended cruising autonomy, and a head with toilet completes the accommodation. The design prioritizes both function and comfort for extended passages.
