The 44’ Kelly Peterson Cutter is a popular center cockpit cruising boat. Designed by famous naval architect Doug Peterson, it is the first cruising vessel to combine outstanding sailing performance with a strong, sea kindly, and safe vessel.  Its hull is built with solid GRP and is immensely strong.

We have owned Moon Slipper for the past 13 years. In that time we have cruised the NW Caribbean every winter season, returning to rest in the comfortable and economical port of Rio Dulce, Guatemala (a great hurricane hideout). From there you have many easy destinations in Mexico, Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras. Each season we have performed regular maintenance, upgrades and maintained ongoing attention to the vessel and onboard projects. The decision to sell Moon Slipper did not come easy but it is time to move on to other adventures.
