Spares Inventory Included with Valerie Arden 

The following spares list will give you a very good idea of the consideration given VALERIE ARDEN by her owners. Virtually a spare for all the major components that make up World Cruising.

See attachment held by broker.

We have owned Valerie Arden since 2000. Our Baba 40 model by yacht designer Robert Perry receives compliments wherever she docks. We purchased her in Oriental, NC and sailed her in New England for our first 4 years, after which time we brought her south, spending time in the Chesapeake, and then down to Fort Lauderdale where we based for a number of winters (summers in New England), and began traveling to The Bahamas in 2005. We gradually moved the boat towards Florida’s Treasure Coast about 2010. We began spending our winters in the Abacos in 2012, and continued to spend four or five months there every winter until 2024…. We have certainly  enjoyed our time aboard the Valerie Arden but have decided to sell her as our old bones tell us it is time……
