Valiant 32
Description
The Valiant 32 is a distinguished 32-foot cruising sailboat designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry as a smaller companion to the successful Valiant 40. Built by Valiant Yachts (USA) and Uniflite Inc. (USA) from 1976 through the early 1980s, with approximately 65-67 hulls produced during its production run. This moderate displacement cruiser was specifically created to meet the 1970s demand for an optimum-sized boat for cruising couples, embodying the traditional Valiant aesthetic with its signature canoe stern and moderate bow flare.
