1981 Peterson Delta 45
This is another great example of the Doug Peterson design built in the Tawainese Shin Hsing Yard. Based on the world renowned KP-44 design, this blue water cruiser, like most of them, has likely been there. If you are looking for a capable, two stateroom, two head liveaboard, and plan to cruise the sea of Cortez and Mexico, or sail to the South Pacific this boat, is one to seriously consider. With the 39’ waterline, cutter ketch rig, and center cockpit, you will find her a comfortable, dry, and great sailing ocean boat. Built with hand-laid fiberglass, the solid hull has a 10,000 lb. encapsulated ballast keel, protected prop, and skeg hung rudder, serious features you just won’t find on light new boats.
The sailing performance of the Peterson design is forgiving, and often surprising in both light and heavy airs. She practically sails herself, making over 150 mile days offshore, comfortably handling sea states that keep other boats in anchorages. You can be sure that she'll deliver your family to your next port in safety and comfort. A pleasure to own, live aboard, and sail, you’ll find very few blue water yachts that are in the same overbuilt league, especially at this price. Wait till you see the quality of the interior woodwork! Owner has another boat, and priced this one for a quick sale. Make an appointment to see Sea Biscuit soon.
