Valiant 37 (Esprit 37)
Description
The Valiant 37 is a distinguished 37-foot moderate displacement cruising sailboat designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry and built by Nordic Yachts (1977-1980) and later Uniflite Inc./Valiant Yachts (1980-1982) in the United States, with approximately 50 hulls produced during its production run. Originally introduced as the Esprit 37 by Nordic Yachts, this design represents Perry's expertise in creating seaworthy performance cruisers that balance offshore capability with manageable size for cruising couples. The yacht features solid hand-laminated fiberglass construction with a fin keel and skeg-hung rudder configuration
