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.

Experience some of Europe's best excursions with Sail Croatia. From buggy safaris to kayaking to, wreck diving and more. Click "SHOW MORE" below for a full list of excursions. http://www.sail-croatia.com Rafting: Join the jolly team of river rafters and discover the Cetina River -- the original pirate's nest. The Cetina, which runs from the hinterland through the mountains and into the coastal town of Omis, housed the Med's most famous band of pirates. Today the Cetina is home to some medium-grade white water rafting. For hundreds of years they thrived on holding laden merchant ships for ransom passing up the coast on their way to Venice. Buggy Safari: A real tour with a difference! Jump in a 2-seater, 200cc buggy and drive around the vineyards, coves and beaches of Korcula to explore parts of the island most visitors never get to see. Stop-off for snorkelling and at excellent photo-op spots. Kayaking: Jump in a 2-man kayak and explore the coves and coast around Korcula Island with a local instructor. Croatia is paradise for kayaking of all levels -- beginner, intermediate or advanced. Grab your paddle and a few tips on technique and you're off! Dubrovnik Walking Tour: Discover the beauties and treasures of the old town streets and monuments of Dubrovnik -- the Pearl of the Adriatic. Listen to stories from your local Croatian guide that take you back through the city's history and learn about the stories and legends that lie hidden behind the ornate facades. Discovery Dive: If you want to have your first scuba diving experience then this Discovery Dive is for you -- we take care of everything. After a quick talk with the instructor & watching a short video, to ensures the main principles are understood, it's time to enter the shallow water on the nearby beach. Each instructor takes maximum two people and looks after them for the entire dive, which takes between 20 to 30 minutes. Once back on the surface, you will be transferred back to Makarska. Wreck Diving: This dive is for certified divers only and is very rewarding. Dive over the torpedo boat, which lies at 26m, and see its well-preserved metal construction including anti-aircraft guns and torpedoes still in their tubes. It is a haven for marine life - a man-made reef with sponges, algae and fish. Mostar & Bosnia Day Trip: Mostar is a city of contrasts: wide avenues, narrow streets, the traditional Turkish bazaar and Parisian-style boulevards - a city in which the culture and art of the east and west meet. The most magnificent monument is the Stari Most (Old Bridge), built in 1566 according to the plans of Hayruddin, the master Turkish architect and builder. When the Stari Most collapsed after sustained tank shelling in 1993 it was like the heart was ripped out of most Mostar natives. Now, more than a decade later, the beautiful stone structure that had spanned the Neretva River for over four centuries once again arches across its enchanting waters. Montenegro Day Trip: A tiny Mediterranean pearl, unique in many ways, and a place that will take your breath away. From Dubrovnik you will have the opportunity to visit Montenegro for a day and discover that this small country is filled with natural beauty. Explore the best of the Montenegrin coast -- all in one day! Wine Tasting Tour: Get the low-down on Hvar's wine culture. Sample 3 wines and local cheese and olives in the middle of Hvar Island's famous AGER winefield. Sail Croatia Live: After a day touring Dubrovnik you'll be ready to kick up your heels and party the night away with cover songs from some of your favourite artists. Even if dancing isn't for you, this band will have you on your feet!
