The Liberty 458 is a Peter Hoyt and D. Peterson-designed cutter-rigged sailboat, built by Shin Fa and Liberty Yachts in Taiwan from 1981 to the present, featuring a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg. It is an extended version of the Peterson 44 hull design, distinguished by a different deck and coach roof, with a related variant, the Delta 46, produced for the European charter trade. The Liberty 458 measures 14.0 m LOA, has a 3.9 m beam, a 1.9 m draft, and displaces 14061 kg.
