Kelly Peterson 44 Cc

Susurru, a 1975 Kelly Peterson 44, had her teak decks removed and fuel and water tanks, chain plates, standing rigging replaced in 2005.  She features a rebuilt Ford Lehman, GPS chartplotter, radar, auto pilot, 12v refrigeration S/S radar arch, 5 solar panels, 125 amp alternator, life raft, and SSB.  If you are looking for a blue water cruising boat at a good price then Susurru should be on your short list.

The Peterson 44 layout is very accommodating even by modern standards.  Starting forward, there is a traditional v berth with ample storage in shelves along the hull and access to the forward head and shower combination to port.  The saloon features a straight settee to starboard and on port is a true dinette with two bench seats and a dining table.

A U-shaped galley is to port with a double stainless steel sink close to the centerline and plenty of counter space.  A large, forward facing nav station is to starboard, opposite the galley.  The passageway to the aft cabin is directly behind the nav station on the starboard side and requires stooping to get through.  The engine room is to port and the open space to starboard has been variously modified by many owners to include bunks, a generator, storage or a freezer.

The owner’s cabin aft has a large berth on the centerline.  It is considered king size but is not an island berth.  Due to the low overhang from the aft deck, some owners prefer to sleep head forward.  To starboard is good hanging locker space and to port is another head and shower combination.

There are three hatches, three dorades and 10 opening ports to keep the air moving.  The aft cabin also features a separate sliding hatch and companionway with direct access to the cockpit.
