The Kelly Peterson 46 stands as a quintessential example of the "Golden Age" of Taiwanese boatbuilding, representing a refined evolution of the legendary Peterson 44. Designed by the late naval architect Doug Peterson and commissioned by Jack Kelly, this vessel was built by the Queen Long Marine shipyard, the same facility that would eventually launch the Hylas Yachts brand. While the Peterson 44 established the blueprint for a fast, centercockpit circumnavigator, the 46 was conceived to address the 44’s perceived shortcomings, offering more internal volume, a beamier hull, and a more sophisticated layout. It is widely regarded by Cruising World as one of the premier bluewater cruisers of its era, balancing a performanceoriented underbody with the rugged construction necessary for highlatitude sailing.
