In Brief
The Valiant 39 is a 1995 evolution of the Valiant Esprit 37. Despite an excellent pedigree which has its roots going back to the legendary Valiant 40, the boat and its earlier incarnation are often overlooked. The Esprit 37 was originally introduced in 1976 following the same Bob Perry formula that brought the world the Valiant 40.
Major changes over the Esprit 37 include an all new deck molding with a boxy cabin trunk to match the Valiant 42 and Valiant 50, a revised layout below deck and a new rig with the addition of a 2ft bowsprit. The boat is known for nimble all-round performance, strong build quality, and seaworthiness.
