This well-kept, fourth-owner yacht is "correct" from the top of her cutter rig to the bottom of her cruising keel, equipped and outfitted as a circumnavigator, easily maintained and sailed by two people. This sturdy double ender boasts both seaworthiness and ample interior space and offers steady and comfortable cruising. Below the waterline, the hull incorporates a fine entry with a long cutaway forefoot followed by a skeg-hung rudder. Comprehensively equipped, she is ready to take you on the voyage of a lifetime. The more you know about what goes into the creation of a great cruising boat, the more you will appreciate this one. Give the listing broker a call today to discuss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a world-renowned, turnkey, non-blister world cruiser! Valiant 47s have circumnavigated the globe, including a sister ship that completed two solo circumnavigations, one of them non-stop, a feat that few production yachts have ever accomplished. Known by world-class sailors as an amazing and remarkable vessel, the Valiant 47 gained fame when in 1990 William Pinkney (Capt. Bill Pinkney) solo circumnavigated, becoming the fourth person to sail solo around the world aboard a Valiant 47, his boat being named "COMMITMENT." "SASSY SONJA" is easy to single-hand, making it ideal for couples. With its fin keel and long forefoot, it tracks straight and is easily steered by autopilot or wind vane steering. The long forefoot also ensures smooth tacking through the wind. Designer Robert Perry praised the Valiant 47's sharp entry and preferred it over the 42 for this reason. Below decks, this beautiful boat sleeps up to six people in accommodations with the V-berth, main salon and aft captain's quarters. Like all Valiants, the main salon settees and the aft captain's quarters make excellent offshore sleeping quarters. The interior of the Valiant 47 is dry and comfortable. Accommodations are well planned for comfortable voyaging and are perfectly suited for a couple living aboard.

I wanted to show you exactly how a boat anchor behaves on the sea floor. I found a nice popular anchorage where the tide had gone out, exposing the same sandy bottom that the boats in the distance are anchoring in, so we can see exactly what is going on, without the sea being in the way. If you measure the distance from the bow roller to the seabed at high tide, and pay out at least five times that much chain, which is known as 5:1 scope, the anchor should untangle itself and reset in most situations.

Here's a glimpse of the upcoming build series of my new tender to Flying Spur! The mast sections are mated together by an inner-ring of epoxied carbon fiber tape The sail was cut from tanbark cloth by Sailrite. I assembled everything from there I decided to use a mast track instead of the common "zippered sleeve" for reasons of simplicity and durability. A small shim was used to "ramp" the track between the different-sized mast poles, and it glides really well. Music: "The Bottom of The Ocean" by Matt Garver
