Amanda and I had a great adventure sailing in the Keys. We had a great Captain/Instructor. We sailed on an older Morgan....not so nice. At least I know what I don't want in a boat....LOL. Heading to NY for wedding in few weeks and I have found a 1982 Endeavour 43 to check out in NJ. They're great for live-aboard, but don't sail as nice a Valiant. I know this is a journey and I want to find the right vessel. Looking forward to hearing from you when you finish your Pacific crossing. Safe journey and God speed. Amanda and William Hi Guys,

Truthfully, the valiant 40 is a perfect first boat to buy, for two reasons: 1) as a first time buyer you don't know what to get 2) the valiant is a cult boat and holds its value. Once you have ripped apart and rebuilt so much on your own, then you'll be able to look at any no-name boat in any marina and judge whether you want her or not--and that's the best way to get a killer deal. But for a first boat--valiant is a great call (if you can find one). william,

My Love and I, Amanda are heading to the Keys in the morning for our first sailing adventure. I am "checking out" myself in 2 years...we have a plan to do our own sailing adventure in 2-3 years and around the world in 5. We live in Oklahoma, not far from where the Valiants are presently made. Great vessel you have chosen, best of luck with her. I'm looking at an Endeavour 43, Lord Nelson 41 or maybe a Valiant if I can find one well equipped for a price and can deal with. I saw that you did a lot of re-furb work yourself any changes that you would make? I'm mechanically inclined, however I would rather have a turn key vessel or close to it.......what are your thoughts. Well, gotta run..packing awaits........and I better get some sleep before my flight........the best of luck and my you and your bride have a safe and wonderful journey. Looking forward to hearing from you. William and Amanda Hey guys,
