Overview

There were several interior options for Valiant 42s. Barlavento has the most popular Center Entry Queen layout.

As you come down the companionway, a double quarter berth is located to port. The head with a separate shower stall is to starboard. Moving forward, the galley is to port and the forward-facing sit-down navigation table is to starboard.  The main saloon contains a center line drop leaf table.
