Valiant 18 "Katy Ra Ra"

Free Boat to a good Home

UPD The boat is reserved now

We offer this project Bilge keeler Valiant 18ft with all bits necessary from the mast and sails to primers and antifouling. She is ashore near Lewes, BN7.

18ft LOA, built circa 1974, for details on the project see https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/valiant-18

The boat is an unfinished project with practically everything needed for completion. However, there is no trailer, and potential new owner will need to arrange removal. Mast is destepped but easy to put on. Bilge keeler can go onto a flatbed truck. Recent survey shows hull is sound. All wood removed from inside, sanded and revarnished. Needs some repairs to gel coat and new windows.

The items included are:

• New paint for the entire yacht including anti-foul (many hundreds of pounds worth)
  New transducer/depth sounder
  New weather vane (Windex)
  Many ropes
  Anchor
  Upholstery/bedding for the various berths
  All interior woodwork including shelving, benches, drawers, etc (carefully sanded back then treated with multiple coats of fresh marine grade varnish)
