1980 Custom Doug Peterson

This 38-foot sailing yacht was designed by Doug Peterson, one of America's most influential yacht designers. Peterson's design philosophy shaped an entire era of modern sailing yacht development, and his work is recognized among the most significant contributions to the sport.

The yacht is powered by a Yarmee diesel engine and carries a single head. With a beam of 12 feet, the boat offers a balanced hull form typical of Peterson's approach to performance and seaworthiness.

Built in 1980, this custom boat represents Peterson's design principles during a period when his influence defined modern sailing yacht standards. The yacht remains an example of the designer's legacy and approach to hull form and sailing characteristics.
