For Sale: Kelly Peterson 46 1986

[Drdog]

Sorry to have posted so incomplete of an entry. But no I am not a dealer using CF, just the guy who has sailed, loved , cared for , worked on and taken care of this boat for the last 13 years. We have only sailed here in the CAribbean and I know that they are a west coast boat so many of you may have have more exposure than I to the Peterson. But this is a Kelly Peterson 46, not a Formosa or any other "knock -off". And yes she sails REALLY well. I have a good friend with a Halberg Rassy 53 that has to dot his i's and cross his t's lest I sail past him.

Nice boat, any other pictures....deck, cockpit, rigging etc? What is the cruising speed under engine power only? GPH burn rate at motor cruise only? Thats just a few q's for the moment, I will re-read the post and sales ad again....thanks

[Drdog]

Sorry no other helpful pics. I usually don't press it under engine only but 7 knots easy at 2200 with no headwind or seas against. The burn rate is rated at 1.8 gal/hr at this rpm.
Sorry for the delay in reply, been busy and I am not someone who spends a lot of time on the computer.

Reference. Kelly Peterson @$10K. Sounds fishy to me. Saw it on Kijiji Toronto Ontario a week ago. Boat is supposed to be on the hard at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in Canada. Having been in Whitehorse a number of times years ago, there is no way to sail in or out of that city. The Yukon river is quite shallow in places. The closest deep water is at Skagway, Alaska which is approx. 4-5 hour over the road(gravel) trip. I find it difficult to believe someone would truck it into Whitehorse or out.
Might also note that there is supposed to be a third party involved to facilitate the sale as the "owner" is in London.

I have no idea what exsaylor is talking about. The boat is in Grenada. I wish those not interested in the boat would just not get involved. I get private messages but can't respond because I am not a "trusted member". So be it. If you are interested in this fabulous sailing boat and are not some "person" who just had to put his 2 cents in, you can contact me at tociba@aol.com. The rest of you can go tangle your halyards.

Ignoring the argument about abandoned boats, I will say that I owned and Cruised a STEVENS YACHT 44 for 8 years in the Caribeen. That was the charter version of the Peterson 44 that Jack Kelly imported. It had more water tankage and did not have teak decks(thank heavens). It also did not have the inner forestay, but it did have the hardware for it. I also had the luck of spending some time on a Formosa 46 which I do not believe was imported by Jack Kelly, nor built in the same yard as the KP 44, and I dont believe that Doug Peterson ever got any royalties out of the sale of them. The only real differances in the two boats were cosmetics and a slight differance in the style of woodwork down below. I think the 46 was just as well built as my 44 and probably sailed just as good(which means wonderfull) since they are the same basic hull and rig. As far as chain plates and stainless steel goes, I am sure they have the same substandard SS of that era of Taiwan boats. Any Far East built boat shoud have all of its chain plates inspected at a regulat interval. Buying a Stevens Yacht 44 or a KP 44 or a Formosa 46 will give you a truly great boat. ____My 2 cents worth.____Grant.
