Introduction:
The Valiant 42 is one of the quintessential cruisers of all time with a proven history of circumnavigations and long voyages. Although not a circumnavigator, Aurora has been fully outfitted for blue-water or coastal cruising. She has been proven in action from San Francisco to Zihuatanejo in Mexico, the Sea of Cortez, and back to San Diego. This boat combines comfort, strength, exquisite finish work both inside and out, and performance as well.

Built with serious cruising in mind, all hardware and systems are of the highest quality and accessible for maintenance. We have been meticulous about keeping everything in excellent working order and adding everything needed to make her a turn-key vessel equipped for cruising and/or living aboard.
