Valkyrie is a 1977 Nelson 42. Nelson boats have achieved world wide acclaim for their strength and sea keeping abilities. Although the 42 hull was designed for commercial applications (like all previous Nelsons), it's seagoing abilities make it a very suitable basis for a fine motor yacht with loads of accommodation. The 42 has more beam, more depth and more shape in the forward sections than the earlier boats and these features produce a hull that can not only carry the higher displacements but also give a drier ride and better handling in following seas. The powerful Twin Ford Sabre 240hp engines where replaced in 1988 and have plenty of hours on the clocks, but still going strong. She also has a very nice Aft Helm position with all the instruments repeated and a large sunning deck.
Valkyrie has been out on the hard for the last 5 years or so. The the pics of her on the water are very outdated. She is basically a project boat, but with a very solid foundation to build on top off.
Pictures: The first half of the pics are how she was or could be and the second half are her current condition.
