Valiant 47 For Sale By Offshore Yachts Location: Galveston Additional photos, details, and equipment list as well as broker contact information can be viewed at: https://www.yachtsite.com/yachts-for-sale/valiant-47/ S/V Sassy Sonja is a Texas based 1982 Valiant for sale by broker. Robert Perry's genius for designing cruising sailboats is evident in the Valiant 47', which is one of his most respected projects. Her load-carrying capability is excellent and she is fast. The owners of "SASSY SONJA" are motivated and moving to Ecuador and thus "SASSY SONJA" has been priced to expedite a swift sale and is docked conveniently near Galveston, Texas and can be inspected at any time. The owner logs all major maintenance in the boat's log, which is available when inspecting "SASSY SONJA". If the vision of a purposeful, bluewater double ender comes to mind when you are dreaming of other latitudes, a tropical island, or the lure of a sheltered anchorage by a hidden beach; if you are looking for a real, honest-to-goodness, no-nonsense liveaboard cruising yacht, then you must take time to fully evaluate "SASSY SONJA". "SASSY SONJA" has only had four owners and is one of fewer than 17 Valiant 47s to have been built. If you are still undecided, come and have an onboard look at this Robert Perry designed double ender. Not until you step aboard do you realize just how agreeable a yacht can be: easy to work or play on, with fantastic storage for a yacht of this size, an excellent liveaboard-passagemaking yacht easily managed by a couple that will keep you safe, dry and take you wherever you may dream. She has shippy lines, including a sweet double end and a safe, comfortable and accommodating cockpit. Step below and the interior impresses you with traditional elements and timeless qualities available to the cruising enthusiast. "SASSY SONJA" is the perfect boat for the cruising couple with less than $150,000 to spend, and you will not find a better prepared example of a double-ended passagemaker in this size range at this extremely attractive price, designed purpose-ready for you at an incredible value. 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.

150 concubines & a Golden Library: Part 1 of Bangkok’s most iconic temples! We kicked off our tour at the Grand Palace, and it’s even more breathtaking than the photos. Here is what you need to know: 🏰 The "Hybrid" Palace: See that building? It’s Chakri Maha Prasat. The King wanted a European palace (like Buckingham Palace), but his court insisted on traditional Thai roofs. The result? A stunning East-meets-West masterpiece! 🤫 The Inner City Secrets: Did you know that a "forbidden city" existed within these walls? At one point, over 150 concubines and wives of the King lived here in a private female-only society. No other men except the King were allowed to enter! 🙏 The Emerald Buddha: Thailand’s holiest treasure. It’s carved from a single piece of jade and is so sacred that only the King can touch it to change its seasonal clothes. 👹 Demons turned Guardians: Those giant, colorful statues were once powerful demons. After being defeated in the ancient legends, they were "hired" to serve as eternal protectors of the temple. 🌸 A Ritual for Luck: We were sprinkled with holy water using a lotus bud for good fortune and happiness. 📚 The King’s Library: That massive golden building (Phra Mondop) houses ancient scriptures on silver floors. It's so exclusive that only the King has access. Save this for your Bangkok bucket list! 📌 Which of these facts surprised you the most? The 150 concubines or the golden library? Let me know below! 👇 #Bangkok #ThailandTravel #GrandPalace #EmeraldBuddha #TravelBkk #AmazingThailand #HistoryTravel #BangkokGuide
