The Little Harbor 46 represents the definitive execution of Ted Hood’s "shoal draft, high performance" design philosophy. Introduced in 1986 and produced until approximately 1992, the 46 was born during a period when Ted Hood shifted production to his own yard in Taiwan to ensure absolute control over build quality. Unlike many of its contemporaries that relied on solid fiberglass or balsacored laminates, the 46 was engineered with a sophisticated corecomposite hull using Airex foam, while the decks utilized Divinycell foam for thermal and sound insulation. Though only 21 units were produced, the model earned a reputation as a premium semicustom cruiser capable of global passagemaking while maintaining the ability to navigate the thin waters of the Bahamas or the U.S. East Coast.
