Kelly Peterson 46 1985

Introducing the 1985 Kelly Peterson 46, equipped with a powerful Yanmar 4JH-HTE inboard diesel engine delivering 100 horsepower. This spacious vessel boasts three generous cabins and two private heads, making it perfect for cruising with family or friends. A recent insurance survey noted the boat's good physical and operational condition, suggesting it has been well maintained and poses a safe risk for coastal and inland cruising during the yachting season, provided the weather conditions are considered and a full USCG safety and signaling package is onboard. Although some significant restoration work is needed to bring it to excellent condition—such as replacing the overhead and installing new windows and hatches (all new components are included and currently covered to prevent water intrusion)—the potential for value increase is substantial. Renowned for its robust construction, the Kelly-Peterson 46 is a bluewater-capable cutter-rigged sailboat designed by Doug Peterson in 1980, building on the successful Kelly-Peterson 44 model for serious offshore adventures. Built in limited numbers by Queen Long Marine in Taiwan from 1980 to 1990, this 46-foot craft offers enhanced stability and load-carrying capacity, while maintaining a perfect balance of speed and seaworthiness—ideal for couples or small families on long journeys. The center-cockpit layout ensures a secure helm and ample interior space, featuring a walkthrough to the aft cabin, a U-shaped galley, a nav station, a V-berth forward, and multiple settees/berths accommodating 6-7 people. Owners appreciate its robust 'tank-like' build, dry performance in beam seas, and versatility for circumnavigations, despite being less agile than modern designs. Don't miss this new listing!
