Tank capacities — where the figures come from
  • Fuel unknown
    “48 gallons of fuel” — review, goodoldboat.com
    A Good Old Boat owner article gives 48 gal; our earlier 46 rests on the sailboatdata spec database. No builder figure was found to settle it.
  • Water 80 gal
    “80 gallons of water” — review, goodoldboat.com
    Good Old Boat agrees with our earlier figure, but it isn't a builder source.

Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.

Thrusters and steering — where this comes from
  • Bow thruster unknown
    No source mentions a thruster.
  • Stern thruster not fitted
    Our earlier figure of none has no source, and nothing was found either way.
  • Steering unknown
    Good Old Boat's article on the Valiant 32 does not describe steering; no builder document, Edson data sheet or Practical Sailor review for the 32 was found.

Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.

Sources disagree on fuel tank — left blank rather than guessed.

Some later boats were rigged as sloops with the mast moved forward. Built in the Uniflite era; no model-specific blister data was found, so ask for survey history.

Engines fitted

Boats of the same model can differ — check which engines yours actually has before ordering parts.
