1983 Little Harbor 44

Alice is hull #2 of the Ted Hood-designed Little Harbor 44s. 15 were built from 1983 to appx. 1987. With over $200k invested, I am asking $175,000 OBO for a quick sale.

This is an opportunity to own one of the most sought-after Ted Hood-designed cruising yachts ever built. A rare aft-cockpit model, the deck layout and ergonomics just make good sense. The quality of her construction, her seakindliness, and her other excellent attributes (68 of headroom!) make her pretty much the perfect yacht. Alice is well-maintained and shows as a 20 year old boat or newer.

Notes:

• Teak decks are in fair condition and will need to be addressed. The boat is priced for this eventuality.
• Awlgrip topsides and cabin top paint is in good condition, with only some minor cracking showing. Should be able to be touched up rather than repainted completely.
• Bottom paint has 1.5 seasons on it
• Cream ultraleather upholstery is in excellent condition
• Storm trysail, storm jib, inner forestay, stainless dinghy davits, bimini, dodger, and winter cover all included. Bimini and dodger were not installed until 2021 and were removed in 2022 and put in storage.
• Stove currently disconnectedpropane system needs to be updated
• Currently no macerator pump discharge for the holding tank because I live in a no-discharge area.
• There is some evidence of water damage on some bulkheads. At this point I believe we have addressed all of them except for those that occur in truly driving rainstorms.
• Luxury thick foam mattresses for both fore and aft cabins
• Exterior brightwork work has begun, it is almost time. *Engine leaks a little oil. I have to add about a quart about every 25-50 hours.

If I were to nitpick, the decks needing attention in the next two or three seasons, the brightwork, and the previous water damage would be my only negatives. The 56-102 centerboard keel allows for exploring shallow water anchorages. The brand new North mainsail is beautiful, battened, and furls well. 130% and 110% jibs, storm jib, etc.
