If I were going to sea, balls to the wall,
I would want to be sailing a Valiant.

you might rather wish to be on an Ingrid or a Rhodes 41, or a Bermuda 40, or a
Luders 33, or a Luders 45, or an Eric 32, or a Colin Archer anything, or a
Vanguard, or a whole host of other boats. This is *if* you are going "balls to
the wall".
