Designed by Ted Hood and built by Little Harbor Custom Yachts, this distinguished 51-footer represents the pinnacle of American yacht craftsmanship from the 1970s and 1980s. Little Harbor earned its reputation by creating semi-custom sailing yachts that seamlessly blended performance with luxury, and this model exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. Built for serious offshore cruising, the Little Harbor 51 features the robust construction and thoughtful design details that made the brand legendary among discerning sailors. Hood's design emphasizes seaworthiness and comfort, with generous accommodations that don't compromise sailing performance. The yacht's moderate displacement and well-balanced sail plan make it equally capable of spirited coastal sailing and extended ocean passages. These yachts were hand-built in Rhode Island using premium materials and traditional construction methods, resulting in vessels known for their longevity and refinement. The cockpit layout prioritizes both safety and comfort, while the interior showcases the exceptional joinery work that became Little Harbor's signature. Today, well-maintained examples remain highly sought after by experienced sailors who appreciate the combination of Ted Hood's proven design principles and Little Harbor's uncompromising build quality.
