The Valiant Yachts 42 is a Robert H. Perry-designed cutter-rigged sailboat built by Valiant Yachts from 1992 to 2010, featuring a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg. Its LOA is 12.8 meters, beam 3.9 meters, draft 1.8 meters, and displacement 11,158 kg.4:14 A deck salon variant, the VALIANT 42RS, was also available. Aboard *59° North Sailing*, Matt Rutherford sailed a Valiant 42 solo across the Arctic, navigating toward the Northern Sea Route, relying on an Iridium Certus satellite terminal for communication in areas without Starlink.6:16 Rutherford chose the Valiant 42 for solo offshore sailing due to its short path from the aft cabin to the cockpit, a cutter-ketch rig allowing single-line reefing and full sail trim from the cockpit, and the absence of large U-shaped saloon berths.51:32 He noted fiberglass deflects glancing blows from ice better than steel.55:42 Professional delivery captain James Evenson, on *Be The Captain*, identifies the Valiant 42 as a proven hull design suitable for offshore cruising, prioritizing structural integrity over interior volume.3:13
