Doug Peterson is America’s most accomplished Sailing Yacht Designer. During the 20th Century there were four main design eras, where most boats were variations on the work of one breakthrough designer. These eras were Herreshoff, Stephens (S&S) Peterson, and Farr. Peterson’s designs have excelled in racing under the IOR, IMS, MORC, and International Rule measurement systems, winning multiple World Titles, National Titles, and Major Regattas. If you were sailing a fresh, well prepared Peterson design in any class from 1973 onward you would have had a good chance of winning. Peterson has produced world-renowned cruising designs from 8 meters to more than 30 meters. His designs have been built by some of the most respected yards in the world, including custom, production, and semi-production projects. "Galia" was built in Japan at Chita Inc. Doug Peterson was inducted into the Sailing World Hall of Fame, in the Inaugural Class of 1982.
