The Liberty 458 is a 45.8ft cutter designed by Peter Hoyt/D. Peterson and built in fiberglass by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. since 1981.

The Liberty 458 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
