The 1979 Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is a classic sailing yacht that holds a special place in the hearts of sailing enthusiasts. This offshore cruising vessel was designed by renowned naval architect Doug Peterson and built by the Formosa Boat Building Company in Taiwan during the heyday of the cruising sailboat industry.

With a length overall of 46 feet and a beam of 13.3 feet, the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 boasts a robust and seaworthy design. Its full-keel configuration and heavy displacement contribute to its stability and ability to handle various weather conditions. The hull is constructed of fiberglass, known for its durability and low maintenance requirements.

One of the distinguishing features of the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is its timeless and elegant lines. The boat's traditional sheer line, graceful overhangs, and teak accents on the deck and cabin contribute to its classic appearance. The raised aft deck and low-slung cabin house give it a distinctive profile that stands out in any marina or anchorage.

The interior of the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is designed with comfort and livability in mind. It features a spacious main salon with a dining area, a well-equipped galley, and ample storage space throughout. The layout includes three private cabins, providing accommodation for a small crew or a family. The warm teak joinery and traditional finishes create a cozy and inviting atmosphere below decks.

On deck, the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 offers a spacious cockpit that provides a secure and comfortable area for sailing and socializing. The wide side decks and high bulwarks make moving around the boat safe and easy, and the well-protected cockpit provides excellent visibility for the helmsperson. The sail plan consists of a cutter rig with a mainmast positioned aft and a shorter mast forward, allowing for versatile sail configurations to suit different wind conditions.

Although the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 was produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s, its classic design and timeless appeal have ensured its enduring popularity among cruising sailors. It remains a cherished choice for those seeking a comfortable and reliable yacht capable of taking them on memorable voyages around the world.
