Valiant has spared no expense engineering the highly efficient technology necessary to reduce cost without sacrificing traditional Valiant quality. The result is the NEW VALIANT 32--The ultimate bluewater performance cruiser at a reasonable price.     The Valiant 32 draws upon the experience of the famous Valiant 40, voted by readers of SAIL Magazine as the "Cruising Boat of the Decade." The 32 is an easily handled yacht--ideal for a cruising couple--with the same fin keel and skeg mounted rudder design that has made the Valiant 40 so fast and responsive. The canoe stern, excellent in confused or following seas, has been retained; high bulwarks forward and relatively flared bow keep the 32 dry and comfortable. Both designs have made Valiant Yachts one of the most successful and talked about yacht builders in the country.     The Valiant 32 is custom finished in teak and ash with the discerning yachtsman's attention to detail and handcrafted feel of a traditional sailing yacht. She is every inch a well-thought-out, comfortable and functional passage-maker.
