One important thing to know about the Esprit/Valiant 37 is that Bob Perry “drew the boat for myself. It’s the boat I wanted.” He owned hull number 1, Ricky Nelson , for three years on Puget Sound. On the heels of the Valiant 40, the Esprit quickly established a reputation as a good all-around performer and a seaworthy passagemaker. Thistle , hull number 136, is proof of that offshore capability. The owners have sailed it from the Pacific Northwest to New Zealand and back, plus two round trip circumnavigations of Moresby Island in the Queen Charlottes (Haida Gwaii) combined with three full circumnavigations of Vancouver Island. Thistle is equipped for offshore with self-steering gear, solar panel, and an intermediate stay with runners, among a full complement of cruising gear. The boat spent its early life in Maine. When the current owners bought it in 1993, they shipped it to the Valiant factory in Texas, where builder and Valiant Yachts owner Rich Worstell oversaw a refit, bringing it up to the current standards. It was then shipped to the Pacific Northwest. Thistle ’s proven its voyaging capability, is well maintained, and is equipped to do it again.

The quality interior joinery provides a warm and comfortable feel. Lockers and floorboards are all securely fastened for comfort at sea. Starting forward, the V-berth features 6’8” berths with a seat between that serves as a good step-up point. The hull sides throughout the boat are lined with teak. Shelves are to port and starboard with removable rails. There is a locker with shelves to starboard and a hanging locker just aft of it. To port there are four drawers, providing plenty of storage for personal gear. Moving aft to port, the head has a separate shower stall with a seat, rare for a boat of this size and vintage. The keel-stepped mast nestles unobtrusively next to the fold-down table. The main salon features and L-shaped dinette to port, plus cabinetry and a settee to starboard. For extra accessible storage space during passagemaking, Thistle has a divider that holds gear inside the “L.” There are hinged leeboards both to port and starboard, laying flat under the cushions when not being used. Lockers line both hull sides. The U-shaped galley is to port, with generous storage in lockers for dishes and dry goods. An approximately 10 cubic foot icebox is on the aft side of the galley, while the sink and dry goods lockers are on the forward side. Every inch of spaced is used, including three drawers facing inboard and a small locker tucked in the aft outboard corner of the galley.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) From BlueWaterBoats.org : The Valiant Esprit 37 is a boat of many names, literally. When first introduced as the “Esprit 37” by Valiant Yachts in 1977 she was built by a company called Nordic so some called her the Nordic Esprit 37. Later when Valiant changed hands to Uniflite, she was rechristened the “Valiant 37”, and over time and another change of Valiant ownership, the boat evolved into the Valiant 39 with the addition of a bowsprit that gave it two extra feet of length. Names aside, the boat draws much from its larger stablemate, the now almost legendary Valiant 40 , and certainly owners of Valiant Esprit 37s have reported brisk and nimble go-anywhere performance, a seakindly ride, and an interior that is well thought out. In 1976, three years on from the incredibly successful launch of the Valiant 40, Valiant Yachts was on the lookout for two smaller yachts to diversify their offerings. The Valiant Esprit 37 was to be one of these boats. The company once again used the genius of Bob Perry, who drew on the same magic Valiant 40 formula and applied it to a 37ft hull; this time sporting a sleeker cabin trunk and a brighter interior. To build the boat, Valiant opted not to go with Uniflite who at the time were producing the Valiant 40, instead Valiant chose a new company with strong ties to Uniflite; a company called Nordic Yachts. It was headed up by Steve Nordvelt who had worked in the contracts department of Uniflite and also happened to be the son of of the original founder of Uniflite. The boat was introduced in 1977 and sold by Valiant Yachts in that time as the “Esprit 37”, however you can sometimes boats improperly marked as “Nordic Esprit” 37s in used boat listings. Around 1980, Uniflite acquired Valiant and production of the Esprit 37 was moved to the Uniflite factory and the boat was re-dubbed the “Valiant 37”. The Valiant 37s built during the Uniflite era were hampered by the same non-osmotic blistering issues that plagued the Valiant 40s; blistering above and below the waterline, usually cosmetic in nature. The blistering was caused by the use of a fire retardant resin called Hetron interacting with the glass fiber layup. It wasn’t until some time around 1982-84 that this problem was permanently solved by the use of isophthalic resin. By this time, Valiant was again under new ownership and production shifted from Seattle, Washington to Texas. The Valiant 37 eventually evolved into the Valiant 39, with new a deck molding; the sleek cabin trunk giving way to a boxy one better matching the Valiant 40/42 as well as a revised interior layout. Perhaps more prominently, the 39 had its rig was redesigned to include a 2ft bowsprit which gives the boat 2ft of additional LOA. In total 50 Valiant 37s were built, as of 2000 the registrar at valiant-owners.org list five Valiant 39s. Boat Configuration and LayoutThe Valiant Esprit 37 shares similar lines with its larger Valiant 40 stablemate, the same graceful sheer and canoe stern with perhaps a more aggressive tumblehome. The overhangs are relatively small making for a decent speed endowing LWL. Below the waterline is a cruising fin keel and skeg-hung rudder. The underside of the hull is a little flatter than the Valiant 40 which contributes to the 37 being more nimble through the tacks. On deck the cabin trunk departs from the old boxy look of the Valiant 40 in favor of a sleek raked cabin profile. The mast is relatively tall and sports a cutter rig with a high aspect mainsail on a small boom, a design heavily influenced by IOR ocean racers of the time. The shrouds come quite far aft which unfortunately inhibits the boom from swinging wide to catch downwind air effectively. All control lines are routed back to the safety and comfort of the cockpit. Below deck, the best words that describe the layout are well thought out and functional. There is more than adequate stowage areas for extended cruising. Descending from the companionway, there is a very functional U-shaped galley to port and to starboard is a seagoing quarter berth with comfortably sized navigation station. Further forward to port is a L-shaped settee which can convert to a double berth, opposite is a single berth settee. The cabin table is large enough to seat 6 spaciously and stows away against a bulkhead which opens up the area nicely, however the keel stepped mast does intrude slightly into this area. Between the main saloon and the V-berth is the head compartment to port, it has a separate shower stall running pressurized hot and cold water. Even here there are clever stowage areas including extra space below the shower seat under a waterproof access cover. The V-berth forms the master cabin and is relatively spacious with lots of drawers and a generously sized hanging locker. Access to the engine under the companionway stairs is very good. The 37 comes standard with a 30hp Westerbeke diesel, while the newer 39 has a 35hp. Owner Steve Long notes the 30hp Weterbekes are only “30hp @3000RPM” in the first hour after which they are supposed to be run at a maximum of 2500 RPM delivering 25hp. Many owners have repowered with Beta 37.5 hp engines which provide a more useful amount of power. ConstructionLike all the Valiant boats, the 37 is solidly built. The hull is uses the same hand layup as the Valiant 40 with 1.5 ounce fiberglass matt between layers of 24 ounce weave. Above the waterline lining the interior of the hull, is a half-inch layer of closed cell foam which provides acoustic and thermal insulation; this thermal barrier has the advantage of reducing condensation build up on the inside of the hull. The deck is fiberglass with balsa coring and is solidly attached to the hull with a through-bolt join. All through-deck fittings bolted onto aluminium backing plates. Owners report that the Nordic built boats vary slightly between boat to boat, such as the location of the bulkhead in the V-berth. Early boats used stainless wire rigging while later boats had the option for high performance rod rigging. Like its larger Valiant 40 stablemate, the 37 is remarkably fast for a boat of its relative size. They are nicely balanced boats, quick through the tack and generally very nimble. The boat’s cockpit is remarkably dry and the boat is easy to single hand. To weather the Valiant Esprit 37 is unusually close-winded, aided by its high aspect rig with a mainsail that produces a lot of lift. Downwind some owners report the boat being a little slow because the mainsail does not swing very wide due to the location of the shrouds. Others flying spinnakers report fantastic performance. In addition to strong upwind performance another area of strength is in light airs. Perry himself has noted the 37 can be quicker than a Valiant 40 in light weather. One owner reported 115 mile days over a 22 day passage in mainly light 12 knot trade winds, their boat came in 7 days quicker than another 42ft medium displacement cruiser. As conditions become heavy the hallmarks of Valiants come into play, the boat continues to maintain its composure delivering a comfortable motion for its crew. Buyers Notes- The Uniflite built “Valiant 37” suffers from the same non-osmotic blister problems as the Valiant 40. It is believed the hulls affected are Uniflite boats of around 1980-82. Later boats, most likely, 1982-84 onwards, switched to isophthalic resin which are immune from non-osmotic blistering. Early boats built by Nordic are also unaffected.
- Earlier boats had weak chainplates, check for leaks and signs of delamination around these areas.
- The aluminum fuel tanks have not aged well and should be checked for signs of leaking. Some boats also have aluminum water tanks, check these closely as well.
- Some boats have rod rigging, in which case it may pay to call in a rigger to inspect for stress cracks.
- Check the engine installation; some boats have substituted larger more useful engines, however on some installations the companionway has been moved forward resulting less cabin space.
As of 2010, at the time of writing, there a not many Valiant Esprit 37 / Valiant 39s on offer. Asking price for 37s range from $80k-$170k depending on year and condition and there is a 1997 Valiant 39 asking $189k.

A Valiant Spirit: Esprit 37 Review- By Richard Smith
- Updated: May 17, 2013
Robert H. Perry designed the Esprit 37 for Valiant Yachts , for whom his Valiant 40 was so successful. He gave it a relatively low amount of wetted surface, a low displacement-to-length ratio (for the time), a moderate cruising fin keel, and a skeg-hung rudder. This is a boat intended to be driven hard and fast across open water in any weather in safety and in reasonable comfort. From any angle, the Esprit 37, with its sharply raked stem, handsome sheer, and well-resolved canoe stern looks purposefully seaworthy, as is expected of a Valiant. The Esprit 37 has a hand-laminated solid-fiberglass hull to which the 6,300-pound keel is attached with 3/4-inch stainless-steel hook bolts that are cast into the lead. The deck is hand laminated with a balsa core, which delivers strength and light weight as well as good sound and thermal properties; however, at this age, it might’ve become soft where water has reached the core around hardware and fastenings. Early boats, built by Nordic Yachts from 1977 to 1980, have been relatively free of blisters. Some Esprit hulls built by Uniflite between 1980 and 1982 suffered from blistering, both above and below the waterline. Later boats were built with an isophthalic resin that was immune to blistering. The mast is keel stepped and masthead rigged. Earlier boats had wire rigging, but in 1979, boats built by Nordic Yachts were fitted with Navtec rod rigging, and some still have it. Although the chainplates are inboard of the toerail, they don’t seriously obstruct the side decks. In the cockpit, it’s a bit of a tight squeeze getting past the wheel to the helmsman’s seat tucked well aft. The seats are nicely angled, deep, and a comfortable height above the sole. Cockpit lockers provide plenty of room for fenders and mooring lines, a vented gas-bottle compartment, and much more. A deck plate over the head of the rudderstock can be removed if the emergency tiller needs to be attached. Belowdecks, the forward cabin contains a good-size V-berth with considerable storage space beneath it. Aft of it is the head, with a sink and a shower compartment with a seat. A large hanging locker is opposite the head. In the saloon, a sleeping-length settee to starboard faces an ample L-shaped settee and table to port that converts to a generous double berth. Beneath each settee is a 60-gallon water tank. Headroom is about 6 feet 6 inches throughout. A chart table is fitted aft of the starboard settee; the forward end of a quarter berth is the navigator’s seat. The compact but entirely sufficient U-shaped galley is on the port side, its deep double sink near enough to the boat’s centerline to drain on either tack. An abundance of lockers will hold enough stores to provision four crew for at least three weeks at sea. The original engine was a Westerbeke diesel. It’s behind the companionway steps, which can be removed to provide access. Under sail, the Esprit 37 is beautifully balanced, light on the helm, and accelerates nicely even in just 5 or 6 knots of wind. It’s easily sailed by a singlehander and has fine seakeeping qualities. The Esprit 37 is a solid, no-nonsense boat that provides good accommodation for a crew of four or five on extended voyages in any waters. Asking prices range from $50,000 to $60,000.
