This Kelly-Peterson Center Cockpit Cutter, S/V Grace, is well equipped and has a great layout that sleeps 8! The boat is clean and shows well in Port Townsend, WA.
Designed by legendary naval architect Doug Peterson and built at the prestigious Queen Long Marine yard under Jack Kelly's supervision, the Kelly-Peterson 46 Center Cockpit Cutter is a highly sought-after blue-water cruiser. From a seamanship perspective, the vessel is engineered for serious shorthanded ocean passage-making, featuring an encapsulated lead fin keel, a skeg-hung rudder, and a powerful, balanced cutter rig capable of regular 180-to-200 nautical mile days. Its hand-laminated fiberglass hull delivers a robust, "tank-like" build quality and a famously dry, sea-kindly motion in heavy beam seas, while the deep, centralized cockpit ensures maximum helm security and operator safety in all weather conditions.
