Valiant 50 “Engelenbak” 2000

RogueWave Yacht Sales is very pleased to announce the recent sale of “Engelenbak” the 2000, fresh-water, Valiant 50. She was, and is, an amazing beautiful boat. Bernie decommissioned her in Ohio and he knows every inch of her. She is destined for a fabulous sailing adventure as her new owner is a J120 racing type of animal sailor. We warn anyone who should come within visual! It is a race and he will win. The boat also magnificent. The interior is more than beautiful. This Valiant 50 is very special with many upgrades that elevate her to serious yacht quality. When you have a Valiant 50, the SUV analogy just doesn’t do it. This is a yacht. Wish you could see her. She is sold. Call us anyway. We will get you one.

Deerfoot 62 Cutter “Epicurus”

52 Tayana Shoal Draft Center Cockpit, Perry Design

This Yacht can sail anywhere and at any time. All while providing the Owner and his Crew with total comfort and safety, all while getting to their destination very quickly. My good friend, Bob Perry, the Designer of “Endless Summer”, states about the Tayana 52, “that they have the sweetest sheer that I have ever drawn, that few yachts exhibit the stunning symmetry, the sheer beauty of the 52. Whether lying at anchor or playing with high sweeping seas, she is an eye-stopper of the highest magnitude. Truly a magnificent sailing machine. This one was a wonderful vessel and she has a new home headed for the South Pacific.

48′ Bowman Deck Saloon 2000 Chuck Paine

Another wonderful Chuck Paine design, this Bowman 48′ was absolutely the perfect choice for a member of our local yacht club who had asked me to advise him in stepping up from his Norseman 400. He needed a boat big enough for his four children to sleep comfortably with space of their “own” and he wanted a boat that is fun to race occasionally, good in light air and safe offshore. Knowing Chuck Paine’s designs and Bowman’s build quality I immediately thought of “Sandella”. The Sellers had raced her across the Atlantic in the ARC and I knew from her owner that she was available for sale. This yacht is gorgeous. It was a delight to match her with the right buyer.

Hallberg-Rassy 46 Ex-Runa now Imagine, 2003, Seattle, WA

A wonderful young healthy Family approached us to help them find the perfect Family world cruiser. After inspecting Tayanas, Taswells and other solid brands, the HR46 met every one of their requirements. We explore the reasons why this will work, using objectivity and subjectivity in a proper balance. We even spent a week sailing the San Juans with them “in a get to know your boat” experience. The Family set off this last November on the Caribbean 1500 to points South and West. They’re somewhere in the South Pacific now.

Hallberg-Rassy 53 2001 designd by German Frers

What can one say about a boat that is a yacht in all terms? Having listed the boat for a Seller, we sold her in 2002 to ourselves because we fell in love with her, then years later sold her again to a ex Swan 57 owner, and then again to a ex Bristol 47 owner. The HR53 is total comfort, total security, total quality, and total performance in a million dollar plus sailing machine. The Hallberg-Rassy 53 is one of the best of the best.

50′ Farr 50 Pilot House 1999

Our client, a successful, entrepreneur asked me what I thought of his Beneteau 473. Candidly I told him with his sailing ability, desire, and success, he should have something a lot better! He wanted a stunning, contemporary, yacht that was really fast. His desire was to have a yacht large enough that he and his lovely wife could entertain friends and family, and yet a yacht they could sail alone.

Anyone who has ever seen or sailed a FARR 50 knows that this boat meets all the qualifications. We helped him locate and acquire the yacht in the Netherlands and sailed it with him to Malaga Spain where he started his tour of the Med. We sold the Beneteau in one week for full asking price. And Guess What? Due to a growing family, this fine vessel is now for sale again. We’ve sold her again, in the first week.

Outbound 44 designed by the late Carl Schumacher

A young and adventurous couple came to our office and we listened to their needs and requirements, never mentioning a boat type. After about an hour, I said you need an Outbound 44. They said surprisingly, “that is the top boat on our wish list.” RogueWave found them the best one available and three months later, they sailed away happy and are full time live-aboards.

42′ Valiant Cutter & the benchmark Valiant 40 by Robert Perry

We know these All Ocean SUV’s because we have sailed them afar, lived aboard them for years and most importantly, have owned TWO. We just took delivery of our own Valiant 42. We’ve helped twelve couples buy a Valiant in the last several years. We know these boats and we love how this tough, great sailing boat works for us.

We’d love to help you sell your Valiant. We’ve sold so many…Respite, Heartbeat, Restless, Solstice, Apogee, Fram, Silent Passage, Tigress, Ciboney, Mariah Blake, Ptarmigan, Odin, and more I will soon think of. This boat is the true definition of an offshore vessel and offers a measure by which serious sailing vessels can be judged. There have been more circumnavigations and more successful passages with just a couple aboard a Valiant, than on any other vessel ever built. If you are interested in knowing more about Valiants, please call us. We’d love to tell you why we own one. If you own one, someday, we’d be honored to help you sell her!

Nautor Swan 48, 1999 Hull #129

A very successful and fun Family who loves sailing came to us with ideas of moving up from a Beneteau 43 into something much more real in terms of quality, performance and style. We suggested an almost new, and expensive Nautor Swan 48. When it comes to picking the right boat for our Clients, we here at RogueWave can read between the lines, we understand your requirements and your vision.

51′ Chuck Paine Custom ’98 McConaghy, Austrailia

“Enterprise” was and remains impressive in all regards. She is the result of a collaborative effort by the world renowned yacht designer, Chuck Paine, Americas Cup composite builder John McConaghy, and her highly experienced world cruising owners. This custom yacht elaborates on Paine’s successful Apogee 50.

It was a great pleasure to represent a fellow Valiant owner and friend in the acquisition of this vessel. He asked me what vessel I would choose to for an around-the-world, single-handed voyage, in comfort, grace and style. In my estimation, there is only one boat to buy. After reviewing the 100-page technical document in which I explained why this vessel meets his needs as no other could…all supported with detailed technical information. It is a great pleasure to know that he is happily sailing around the work now. Oh, and I sold his Valiant 42 within two months for the full asking price!
