Used Little Harbor 57 Sailboats for Sale

The Little Harbor 57 represents the pinnacle of Ted Hood’s "heavy displacement, shallow draft" design philosophy. Conceived as a high-latitude blue water cruiser that does not sacrifice access to thin-water tropical anchorages, the 57 is a robust, semi-custom yacht that bridged the gap between the builder’s production-style 53-footers and their fully custom 60-plus-foot commissions. Typically constructed at the Little Harbor yard in Taiwan during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the 57 is characterized by its powerful ketch or sloop rig, a signature centerboard configuration, and a level of interior joinery that rivaled the finest European yards of the era. As a vessel designed for an owner-operator who desires the autonomy of a mid-sized yacht with the redundant systems of a much larger ship, the 57 has maintained a reputation as one of the most capable offshore platforms ever produced under the American flag.
