Great boat! We live on a CSY 33, but have crewed on 2 different Valiants & had a nice ride both times. (Course, it also seemed sooo spacious after we're used to our small boat. But it's paid for )

i have a 1978 S2-9.2C, it's a center cockpit 30' sloop rigged cruiser designed by Aurther Edmonds (spelling?) and i have been living aboard her since 2003. i am just at the tail end of a two year refit that included 11 months on the hard due to a complete gelcoat peel and new epoxy bottom. and yes, i lived aboard in the yard, while installing the new engine, rigging and sanitation system. i have a gym membership and kept my clothes in the car, i would shower and change at the gym. i didn't find it inconvient at all. i have lived aboard various boats prior to this one and i work at sea as a merchant sailor. i had a much larger boat before and miss the space and tankage, but not the cost of everything. on this boat i have removed the marine-air air conditioner, the microwave and most all of the 110v do dads to make room for more room. my boat is not small as far as living space goes, but on deck it lacks adequate storage. i'm fixing that with an arch/davit system and a couple of small boxes on deck and one in the cockpit. my plan is to cruise 6 months, put the boat somewhere safe and bolster the kitty on some ship somewhere for two months and cruise 6 months until i can cruise 8 months, 10, bye bye.

I live on a Cascade 29' sloop, has a 8'6'' beam so she's a tight fit, but i love it.
Only one thing I really want to change and thats the fact the water tank fill is under the V berth where i sleep, so i have to remove my mattress to fill up like once a month. other then that for almost a year she's been my home.
