Little Harbor 58
Description
The Little Harbor 58 is a premium, bluewater-capable cruiser designed by legendary American naval architect Ted Hood (founder of Little Harbor Yachts and pioneer in centerboard designs, Hood sails, and offshore yachts). Built by Little Harbor Yachts (hulls typically constructed in Taiwan by Lien Hwa or similar under Hood's supervision) starting around 1989 (with examples from the late 1980s to early 1990s), production was extremely limited—likely in the low single digits to low teens (sources vary, but very few hulls documented, consistent with Little Harbor's semi-custom, low-volume ethos; some variants extended to 58/60 ft with custom tweaks). It features solid fiberglass construction, a versatile keel/centerboard (keel/CB) setup for adjustable draft (shallow ~5'1"–5'6" board up for access/beaching, deep ~11'6"–12' board down for upwind performance), a powerful masthead sloop rig (often cutter-rigged for versatility), skeg-hung or spade rudder for balanced tracking and protection, and a luxurious, traditional interior (typically 3 staterooms with private heads, spacious saloon, galley, nav station, centerline aft cabin in many, and excellent headroom/storage).
