Valiant 46

'Zigani' was extensively cruised by her first owner and on completion she was sailed via the Isle of Wight and Falmouth to Portugal, Spain, the Canaries and the West Indies, then to Florida via the Bahamas. For the most part she was kept on the East Coast of America, cruising the Inland waterway, Chesapeake and Florida areas, with winters spent in the Bahamas. In the summer of 1997, she returned to the UK via Beaufort NC, Bermuda, the Azores and Falmouth and on to Burnham on Crouch. The outward passage was performed by the owner and his wife, while the return passage was performed single-handed. We sold the boat to the present owner in 1999 and the interior has been professionally re-fitted with varnished ash woodwork and new upholstery between 2000 and 2005 and he has renewed all of the systems and most of the equipment. This Valiant 46 is now in sail-away condition for extended cruising and is still set up for shorthanded sailing with the single self-tailing genoa winch aft and the Harken furling system forward.

There is work needed to be done to the boat now so offers on the asking price will be considered.
