Kaliyah Yacht | 46' Kelly Peterson 1982

KALIYAH is one of the legendary Kelly Peterson 46 Cutters. Only 30 of these offshore center-cockpit cruisers were built, and they remain sought after for their quality construction and design. Doug Peterson, the designer, and Jack Kelly, the builder, spent much time researching and implementing improvements to the original 44' Kelly Peterson's of which 200 were built. Jack Kelly Yachts chose Queen Long Marine in Taiwan to build them of a one piece hull and oversized fittings. Queen Long Marine went on to build all the Hylas Yachts. KALIYAH spent 15 years from early 2000's on Lake Ontario before venturing to Florida and The Keys. The present owner purchased her in the Spring of 2022 and sailed her North to her Maine home. Please note all of the improvements he made from 2022-2023. She is hauled for the winter but easily viewed. It is difficult to find a more able and well-equipped vessel than KALIYAH under $200,000. Please come and inspect and thank you for your interest.

Kelly-Peterson 46

This well-built center-cockpit cutter can take you offshore in comfort.

The center-cockpit Kelly Peterson 46 has sparked plenty of discussion among sailors who favor bluewater cutters, mostly because it’s often compared with its little sister, the popular Kelly Peterson 44 performance cruiser.

The KP46 is basically a lengthened version of the KP44, a design change that admirers agree gives the hull a more elegant sheer and some additional space below deck. Beyond that, the boats are significantly different in terms of construction quality, interior layout and sea-handling ability.

Both the KP44 and KP46 were designed by Doug Peterson, a California yacht designer who caused heads to turn when in 1973 he designed the one-tonner Ganbare, an IOR racer with an innovative fin keel and spade rudder that was widely praised for its overall appearance and sailing capabilities.  

In 1976, he designed the Peterson 44 performance cruiser for Jack Kelly Yachts. Kelly was a sixth-generation San Diegan who grew up sailing. After his Navy fighter plane was shot down in the Pacific during World War II, he was rescued and returned to duty. Upon retiring from the military he became a West Coast yacht broker, but eventually turned his attention to building boats, and his goal was to build the kind of boats his clients were always dreaming about but couldn’t find.

The KP46 was built in Taiwan by the Queen Long Marine Co. shipyard under Kelly’s close supervision. Production began in 1980 and ended in 1990, during which only 30 KP46s were constructed.

First impressions

The KP46 is a center-cockpit cutter, but unlike many boats with that deck layout, it retains an elegance often sacrificed to make way for a cockpit high off the water. Peterson designed the boat so that the cockpit isn’t raised and the overall lines of the hull at deck level remain unbroken. 

“Everywhere we go she turns heads,” said KP46 owner Emmanuel Lavoie, who is about to embark on an extended cruise to the South Pacific with his wife. “The perfect blend of traditional and modern lines creates a classic-looking sailboat. When I show people pictures of our KP46 they comment that the boat looks fast.”

Construction

The Kelly Peterson 46 hull and deck are hand-laminated, reinforced fiberglass. The deck is Airex cored between fiberglass layers and finished in teak or a nonskid surface.  The interior is constructed using teak veneer plywood and solid teak. Structural members are bonded with fiberglass to the hull and the deck. The lead keel ballast is internally bonded into place with fiberglass. The skeg-hung rudder is a high-density foam blade with a stainless steel rudderpost.

KP46 owner Brad Harley described  the boat as a great trade off between speed, stability  and  cruising  comfort. 

“Both the hull and interior design are quality and make good use of existing space,” he said. “The KP46 benefitted from the hundreds of KP44s made, and as such it’s a very polished design.”

What to look for

Like any boat, the KP46 isn’t immune to age or neglect. Addressing leaks, wear and tear, rudder problems and an outdated engine can quickly increase the cost.

“A KP46 came on the block at what I thought was a very reasonable price,” said KP46 owner Michael Tar of  Toronto. “It turned out to be in very bad condition, one owner, but an owner who fixed everything himself, in the cheapest way possible. It was a nightmare of wiring, plumbing and water-damaged interior from leaks.” 

The KP46 has a low profile and graceful sheerline. Tracks and other hardware are recessed into the deck.

“The center cockpit makes for much drier conditions and better motion for those on board,”  Tar said. “The tracks are all sunken into the deck, so there’ s much less chance of rolling your ankles.”

According to Lavoie, the secondary companionway provides access to the aft cabin, but the hatch is prone to leaks. The cockpit has a bridgedeck, a safety feature that keeps water out of the companionway. Owners note the rear lazarettes are impractically small, as is the propane locker that can hold only two small cylinders.

Owners have described the layout below deck as intelligent and brilliant. 

Harley praised the cabinetry and joinery. 

“It’s excellent, which is expected as it came out of Queen Long, which is where Hylas Yachts are made. Coincidentally, we have friends on a Hylas 44 of similar  age  and all the hardware is identical.”

Florida yacht broker Melanie Neale at Sunshine Cruising Yachts, which listed the KP46 Havana Goodtime said the layout, with a large V-berth, comfortable master stateroom aft and two private heads makes  it ideal for a family that is world cruising.

Four separate water tanks provide approximately 200 gallons of drinking water in stainless tankage. A central gray-water holding tank eliminates the need for additional through-hulls.

Down below, the master berth is aft, with private head and shower. The engine is farther forward, near centerline, with its own workbench to port, directly across from a generator on the starboard side.

The galley is to port, across from which are a chart table and locker. There’s a settee to port, across from a C-shaped dinette. 

The KP46 was originally outfitted with a variety of engines, including the freshwater-cooled, 82-horsepower Volkswagen Pathfinder Model 85 diesel. Boats that have undergone an engine upgrade often choose a Yanmar diesel. 

“Our boat was repowered with a 125-horsepower turbo Yanmar that is way oversized. I think a 75- to 90-horsepower, is the sweet spot for this boat,” Lavoie said.

Tar said he had a similar experience with Stay Tuned and repowered with a 75-horsepower turbo that is lighter, quieter and easy to service from both sides.

“The first thing I like to show people when I show this boat is the workshop just aft of the galley,”  Neale said. “There’s plenty of access to the engine and a workbench with room for tool storage is located adjacently. An overhead lazarette provides light and ventilation.”

Neale said the boat’s rig is fairly simple, adding, “It’s a cutter and so easy for a couple or singlehander.”

Lavoie purchased his KP46 in May 2019 and completed his first 1,100-nautical mile offshore crossing from Fiji to New Zealand five months later. 

“We hit 35-knot winds and 15-foot swells on our trip to New  Zealand. We never once felt unsafe, the boat just kept charging on at 8 to 9 knots,” he said. “Light air has been fine too. I wish the boat pointed a bit higher, but that seems to be  the reality of this era.”

Lavoie said the boat’s deep draft makes parts of the world harder to access. “As with all things, it’s a trade off,” he said. “My wife was attracted to the KP46 for its comfort ratio in heavy weather.”

The impeccably designed and constructed Kelly Peterson 46 cutter epitomizes the ideal offshore boat for a cruising couple or small family. 

SAILING’s Value Guide

(5-sailboat rating system)

PRICE: The price of a Kelly Peterson 46 ranges from $125,000 to nearly $160,000. (3 sailboats)

DESIGN QUALITY: The KP46 was designed  by award-winning American naval architect Doug Peterson of San Diego. (3.5 sailboats)

CONSTRUCTION QUALITY: The KP46 is known for its quality construction, built in Taiwan by the Queen Long Marine Co. shipyard under the supervision of yacht designer/builder Jack Kelly of California. (3.5 sailboats)

USER-FRIENDLINESS: Owners report the boat is easy to handle in most sea conditions and if rigged appropriately can be sailed singlehanded or with sparse crew. Michael Tar, broker and owner, said “The boat weighs close to 20 tons, so it’s not a light-wind boat, but she has more than 1,000  square feet  of sail and can still move along.” (3 sailboats)

SAFETY:   The KP46 is a bluewater cruiser with a skeg-hung rudder, cockpit bridgedeck and heavy lifelines among its many safety features. Owners commend the boat’s ability to perform in adverse sea conditions.   (3 sailboats)

TYPICAL CONDITION: The KP46 is well built but contains plenty of teak and other rare woods both on deck and below deck, which translates to more maintenance.  (3 sailboats)

REFITTING: Refitting the KP46 can be a challenge given the high-quality of original construction, particularly boats with teak decks that require attention. Most refits include replacing the original engine with a more powerful Yanmar diesel.   (3 sailboats)

SUPPORT: The Peterson Cutter Group with 589 members, the Kelly Peterson 44/46 Owners Group on Facebook and the support forum www.KP44.org offer information. The Queen Long shipyard in Taiwan where the boats were built is still in business.  (3 sailboats)

AVAILABILITY: Only 30 KP46s were built between 1980 and 1990. Three were on the market during winter 2020.  (2 sailboats)

INVESTMENT AND RESALE:   If properly maintained, the KP46 holds its value since the Taiwanese builder has a long-standing reputation for quality. The cutter already has an audience of admirers and would-be buyers.

PRICE: The price of a Kelly Peterson 46 ranges from $125,000 to nearly $160,000.  (3 sailboats)

Principal dimensions:  LOA 46’3”;  LWL 40’10”; Beam 13’4”; Draft 6’8” ; Displacement 33,300 lb.; Ballast  11,330 lb.; Sail area  1,100 sq. ft.

The Kelly Peterson 46 was voted 'One of the ten best world cruising boats" ever designed. The venerable yacht designer, Doug Peterson, collaborated with Jack Kelly to design the perfect cruising boat and the KP44 was born. Two hundred KP 44s later, the hull was extended and no more than 30 Kelly Peterson 46s were built using the same quality yard, Queen Long Marine Company, LTD. Make no mistake, this is not the same boat as the Formosa line of boats that reportedly "pirated" the design but not the quality specifications that the Queen Long Marine Company manufactured boats adhered to. - "Magic" has been upgraded with a Yanmar 4JH-HTE in 2006

- Tides Marine Strong Track mainsail luff slide system in 2012

- Boom and Running Rigging in 2012

- 24 mile Radar

- Dinghy Davits

Table of Contents

A very limited number of the real Kelly Peterson 46 sailboats were built in the Queen Long Yard. Although Peterson Yachts are still in production “Esprit” is hull #30, the very last one of this model to be built. The current & 2nd.owners have sailed her over 26,000 Blue Water miles.  The 1st owner raced her in such prestige races as the “Transpac Race” and “New Port to Ensenada Race”.  Esprit is truly a classic Blue Water sailing vessel, which has been extensively refitted and upgraded. Between the years 2007 & 2008 she underwent an extensive major refit in New Zealand, in total over US$ 100,000 were spent. The works included; replacement of the standing rigging, repainting of the mast and boom, the bottom redone with a “Copper shield epoxy” coat; complete engine rebuild, new dripless & cutless bearings, reset ports and hatches, complete new cushions & upholstery new bimini & dodger with complete cockpit enclosure added, so that she can be sailed in gale force weather in dry warm comfort.  A pioneer in performance cruising design, this model was drawn exclusively for Jack Kelly Yachts by Doug Peterson.  Doug Peterson is the world famous naval architect who designed the New Zealand America’s Cup boat “Black Magic” in 1995. The KELLY PETERSON 46 is a longer and upgraded version of the much loved Kelly Peterson 44, which in many of the world’s major cruising ports you will still see one of the 200 KP44’s originally built.  Formosa, the yard that built the 44s, then moved onto an extended version that reportedly cut out Doug Peterson and certainly Jack Kelly.  These are not genuine Kelly Peterson 46s and are priced much less because of the low build quality and inferior characteristics of materials used.  Kelly Peterson 46’s were designed to be tough enough to run onto a reef and “Esprit” has proven to be safe under all sailing conditions and has the perfect cruising layout.  The galley is setup for cooking underway and the dinette is practically arranged for cruising or living aboard. Sleeping berths accommodate 7, and there’s even a workshop with a workbench and a vise.  The owners have nothing but praise for the performance achieved by this strong, safe, fast but also very comfortable yacht.

Kelly-Peterson 46

Kelly-Peterson 46 is a 46 ′ 3 ″ / 14.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Doug Peterson and built by Queen Long Marine between 1980 and 1990.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
