Used Delta 46 Sailboats for Sale

The Delta 46 is a robust and capable center-cockpit ketch, emerging in the early 1980s as a distinctive performance cruiser. Conceived by the renowned American naval architect Doug Peterson, with some sources also associating Jörg von Rehden and Peter Hoyt with aspects of its design, the Delta 46 is a testament to blending seaworthiness with respectable speed. Built by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. (SSF) in Taiwan for the German company Delta Marine, it shares its foundational hull design with the highly regarded Peterson 44 and Liberty 458, distinguishing itself with a European-market-specific interior. This vessel carved a niche for itself as a serious offshore contender, appealing to those seeking a comfortable yet swift passage maker with a solid reputation.
