Kelly Peterson 46 Offshore-Ready Bluewater Cruiser

Loafer is a 14.1m Kelly Peterson 46, launched in 1983 and celebrated for her classic Doug Peterson design and proven offshore pedigree. With elegant lines and exceptional sailing performance in almost any conditions, she’s the ideal yacht for serious passagemakers.

This center-cockpit, cutter-rigged yacht offers wide, secure decks and is easily handled by a couple. Below deck, you’ll find two spacious staterooms (fore and aft) each with its own ensuite. Between them lies a well-equipped galley, a comfortable saloon with a large dining table, a dedicated navigation station, and abundant storage throughout. Owned since 2021, Loafer has completed two offshore seasons to the islands (2023 and 2025). She was Cat 1 certified in 2023 and remains fully equipped for bluewater cruising. All of the offshore gear is included in the sale. Loafer will be Hauled out over Christmas and will receive a fresh antifoul, propspeed and anodes.
