The Little Harbor 51 stands as a definitive example of Ted Hood’s "heavydisplacement, shallowdraft" design philosophy. Introduced in the 1980s and constructed primarily at the Little Harbor yard in Taiwan, the 51 was engineered to provide the offshore security of a deepkeel yacht with the versatility of a centerboarder. This model evolved from the successful Little Harbor 50 and later informed the development of the 53 and 54, sharing a lineage defined by robust scantlings and an unwavering focus on owneroperated luxury. Unlike massproduced cruisers of its era, the Little Harbor 51 was built as a semicustom vessel, resulting in significant interior variations while maintaining a consistent, seakindly hull form.
