Summary

53′ Little Harbor Robin Hood is a great example of Ted Hood’s popular Little Harbor 53 series. Her unique hull design features generous beam and displacement to provide exceptional living and storage space as well as remarkable stability and sea kindliness offshore. Her low wetted surface hull is also easily driven in light wind by a high-aspect sail plan. Upwind performance is enhanced by a deep, efficient centerboard that increases draft to 11’4″ when lowered. Most unique of all is the cockpit design, which allows one person to handle all sail controls without leaving the helm. Robin Hood was previously Ted Hood’s personal yacht, Robin. 

The 53′ Little Harbor Robin Hood is a 1985 vessel that has undergone huge upgrades in excess of $1 Million. She is truly ready for long-term liveaboard and cruising. The build quality and seaworthiness of the Little Harbors are well known and this owner has made sure all the systems and cosmetics have been professionally maintained and/or updated.
