Passage is a Peterson 44 built in 1980 in Taiwan.  The Peterson 44 was designed by Doug Peterson - a noted racing and cruising boat designer - and was one of the first production "performance cruisers" .  These boats are often referred to as Kelley-Petersons because they were commissioned through Jack Kelley Yacht Sales in San Diego, California.

    We bought Passage in 1998 with plans of going cruising in the near future.  She was in good condition, and all she needed was "just a little paint and varnish".  We proceeded to rebuild every inch of her.  No structure or system went untouched.  The result is a truly beautiful boat that sails even better than she looks.

    A fine website is maintained for "owners and admirers" of the Peterson 44 in general.  There you can find magazine articles, information about the boat's design, specifications, and even the original sales brochure.   However, if you are interested in Passage in particular, come aboard.
