“Felicia 777” is a classic Perry offshore design performance cruiser with a tumble home stern, bulwarks, dorades, opening ports, oversize rigging and quality construction. She was build by Nordic Yachts of Bellingham, WA, is Canadian flagged and currently cruising San Blas Islands of Panama.

The Esprit 37 (later build as Valiant 39) is a successful performance blue water cruising sailboat, which was specifically designed to maximize safety, comfort, and speed.

The entire boat, including the one piece hull with externally ballasted lead keel, all of the bondings, cockpit hatches, engine bed stringers, and floor timbers is hand-laid with resin of the highest quality.

The large, comfortable, T-shape, cockpit has contoured seats and backs. Pedestal steering and excellent visibility is consistent with the proven offshore capability of a Valiant Yacht.
