Little Harbor 62
Description
The Little Harbor 62 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 in 1982, production was extremely limited—likely in the low single digits to low teens (exact numbers not widely published, but consistent with Little Harbor's semi-custom, low-volume approach; sources indicate very few hulls across variants). It features solid fiberglass construction, a versatile keel/centerboard (keel/CB) setup for adjustable draft (shallow ~5'–6' board up for access/beaching, deep ~11'–13'9" 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 3–4 staterooms with private heads, spacious saloon, galley, nav station, centerline aft cabin in many, and excellent headroom/storage).
