Used Peterson 46 Sailboats for Sale

The Peterson 46, a substantial cutter-rigged monohull produced by the Taiwanese builder Ta Chiao, emerged in 1980 as a formidable blue-water cruising yacht. With an overall length of 47.5 feet and a significant displacement of 33,300 pounds, she was designed for serious offshore passages, offering a blend of seaworthiness, comfortable accommodations, and solid construction. While the boat carries the "Peterson" name and her lines are adapted from the renowned Kelly-Peterson 44, the designer Doug Peterson himself reportedly had no direct role in the development of this specific 46-foot model by Ta Chiao, which was also known as the Formosa 46., 3]
