This Peterson has now been on the market a couple months. Looking for any offers!
Professionally maintained custom built 1983 Peterson 42! Rare opportunity to acquire a pedigreed Pacific Northwest race yacht that is fully equipped!
1983 Doug Peterson-designed custom Two-Ton racer, originally launched out of Seattle with multiple IOR division wins. Over the past ten years, she has been professionally maintained and upgraded by a retired sailmaker and shipwright, with an extensive suite of high-quality custom sails, modern hardware, and thoughtful systems improvements. She represents a rare opportunity to acquire a pedigreed Pacific Northwest race yacht that is well-equipped and performance-ready.
With her strong IOR racing pedigree, extensive modern sail inventory, robust deck hardware, and careful stewardship by a professional sailmaker/shipwright, she is an exceptional offering. Race-ready today and perfectly suited for a day on the course or regional regattas. While well-outfitted for performance, her interior is basic and would require further work to make her comfortable for extended offshore racing or cruising. This makes an ideal platform for sailors seeking a competitive, historically significant racer with the option to tailor the accommodations to their needs.
Ballast (keel): 11,000 lbs
Rig Dimensions: I = 59 ft - J = 17.09 ft - P = 50 ft - E = 21.78 ft - SA = 1,158 sq.ft.
IOR Rating: 32
PHRF: 69 (asym) / 75 (non-spin)
