Boat Details

Description

Kelly Patterson 44 is a vessel with a storied past and a legacy of adventure.

Designed by Peterson and built in Formosa, its plans were famously modified, leading to the creation of the Formosa 46. Purchased as a live-aboard in Seattle in 1998, it underwent extensive renovations, including deck repairs, rigging replacement, and mast reinforcement. Further upgrades in Ecuador, New Zealand, and Malaysia ensured its seaworthiness.

With over 50 years of ocean sailing experience, the owner praises its speed, safety, and comfort, ideal for single-handed navigation. Now, offered for sale due to aging owners, this legendary yacht awaits its next chapter, ready to inspire new adventures on the open seas.
