This week we got an introduction to the sailboat from the designer/builder's very own son, Ted Hood Jr. We are taking a look at a Ted Hood-designed 1990 Little Harbor 59 for $795,000. Born as a Little Harbor 58, the hull was stretched by a foot to provide for a larger aft deck (fantail). Another amazing modification for this bluewater sailboat that came at the same time as the extension was the alteration to the keel to reduce the draft another 8" to 4'6" which is really hard to find in a bluewater sailboat this size.... not to mention it's going to sail as well as any Ted Hood designed sailboat (which is to say amazingly balanced and great for bluewater).

I’m on a lake. I use skiffs and pontoons. I’m 62 so all I can do is dream. Love you guys. Thank you.
Dear student of Edson...The cable clips (clamps) are installed backwards on the quadrant cable. The U bolt should be on the "dead" end of the cable as it crushes the wires it is holding. The old timers taught "Never saddle a dead horse" to remind that the "saddle", (the cast or forged half) of the clamp goes on the "live" end of the wire rope so as not to damage the wires. Jus an FYI... I love this channel and the level of detail you go to. Thank you!
Hey Randay!!!!: send K2 a ceegar and thank you sir for your astute observation
Hey! I am one of those old timers. It was an unridden 🐎, not a dead one because we love horses. Yeah, an accident waiting to happen.
Came here to say the same, but you beat me to it.
Great way to start negotiating
@11:08 if you are going back to check
The Two hydraulic fittings on the bow are for the furling motors for the genoa.
I think you're right. They're definitely part of a hydraulic circuit and located where they are I had guessed that they're for a hydraulic jib furling system, but that guess was dependent on whether or not something like that existed. Genoa furler, nice. I wonder if that boat has a hydraulic bow thruster and they just ran a separate circuit for the furler?
I believe the two hydraulic valves on the bow are for a hydraulic furling drum
Hit me a few days later...they are the fitting s for the hydraulic furling systems for both the headsail and the staysail. We should have focused on that after just having seen the rig on the Oyster ...but that was all rigged and ready to go
Just a little more detail on the location, Melville RI was the home of the US Navy Net Depot and the PT Boat Training Center. John F Kennedy spent time at this very location training to become a PT Boat Captain. MTBSTC Melville (Motor Torpedo Boat and Squadrons Training Center) was the primary training location for the entire WW2 period for both enlisted crewmen and officers. I have visited there before and thought it at least deserved to be mentioned.
Thank you Jerry .. i misspoke thinking of the torpedoe range across the way. I was stationed in Newport in late 60s at the naval station. Great area ..Thank you so much for your detail We love getting these personal updates
OK guys I'm starting to get price whiplash here. Last week's boat you could have bought for the money from a garage sale and this one I'd have to mortgage the grand kids. Either I slept through it or you didn't talk about the spars, but there was soooo much on that boat to talk about. Keep the good stuff coming guys you make Thursday's one of my favorite days of the week.
so this week you can still use the garage sale but, you will have to throw in the house and the garage as well but then you won't need any of that as you step aboard your new home
@@YachtHunters I think it is great seeing you guys doing varying price points!
Those fittings on the front are for the optional “bowsprit seat”. It is hydraulically actuated with functions that include but not limited to; telescopic extension, port and starboard swing of up to 85°, and a teak framed seat that is able to swivel 360° in either direction. The perfect addition for the consummate bowsprit enthusiast. 😉
Put Kay on the dream team for engineering!
Just WOW. Thank you guys. They don't make them like this any more. Great job.
Happy holidays, thank you for your wonderful reviews.
Best boat so far! Thank you. This video created a mini mental vacation in my ocean of daily work. Your effort is much appreciated!!!
Wow what a boat. Nice to see you guys have a live long friendship.
An amazing presentation of another outstanding sailing yacht! Thank you gentlemen!!
Thanks Mitch
I love the newer "foredeck" transition clip taken from the bow. It takes me out on the water.
What a fantastic vessel! So many extras and everything is bulletproof. Only in my dreams...but what dreams.
Wow is correct! What an extraordinary Sailing vessel!!!! Thanks a million for sharing Capt! A live-aboard that can take you anywhere in the world you want to go.
There's just nothing like a Little Harbor! Great video!
Magnificent piece of sailing art…this has the most headroom of any yacht that I can remember. The cockpit is hands down the most beautiful I’ve seen…thanks for presenting it to us…just shy of 800K is truly stunning but all dreams should be so grand! Happy Holidays!
Couldn't agree more!
In a word?
Gorgeous!
Of all the high end dream yachts you’ve featured, thus would be my favorite of that bunch. At 59 feet it’s a big boat, but the interior simply goes on and on. Unbelievable.
Enjoy the holidays Q&R.
I love watching beautiful boats, but add to the vids your interaction and knowledge of the sea - a killer idea. I'd love to take her couple of times around the world to show her to other sea wolfs. Thank you for your work!
Ahh! Now I know I am a Dreamer. Beautiful vessel to sail all horizons......She's wonderful guys, and many thanks for showing...well done. Cheers
Thank you CQ and RD !! This one : yes, yes, yes ! 300% ! Incredible boat, incredible details, incredible job to build a so beautiful boat ! 👍👍👍
I have a Bristol 45.5 . you know I love this boat !!! Thank you very much for reviewing it .
:-)
That's a whole lot of luxurious Yacht/Ship.
The price is a discount if she surveys well, which I'm sure she would.
Way, way out of my price range but man is she the stuff dreams are made of...
Thanks Gents for bringing us another amazing find...
Thank you Major
Captain Q inflation index....now out of earth's orbit...🤣. Beautiful craftsmanship throughout this yacht. Absolutely gorgeous. Almost regal....
God bless you gentleman and that beautiful boat too!
11:44 pretty sure that is a rudder position sensor “autohelm 7000” I am told it improves the autopilot performance in a following sea. I’ll let you know when I get mine installed.
same one Raymarine has offered through several generations of instruments.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Thank you so much!!
Captain Q is pure Gold!
Very elegantly crafted interior... quallity.
Seasons greetings to Randy and your goodself. 🇬🇧🧙♂️
Another fine video that's engaging with your particular brand of humour!
Thank you Sam ...we are serious you know ....
Ty u 2, n happy holidays
Happy holidays!
Fun presentation and very interesting boat. Great video. Thanks Captain Q and Randay.
With that said, I can't get my head around the pricing. Seems there are far better options out there, without all the old fashioned design and clear signs of deferred maintenance.
I’m putting that boat on my Christmas list..
A classic beauty no doubt.
Santa can use my children’s inheritance to defray the costs..
Thanks for sharing..
my dream boat always has been, always will, saw comment regarding capped pipe and agree, hydraulic line for furling
New to this channel but have been binge watching these videos! I love the dry sarcasm and general attitude of the older gentleman (with the funky pants).
Are the two men related?
Its either that or they have been spending a lot of time together I would guess.
Keep these videos coming!
That was my towel boat.......I was drooling a LOT.
never heard of a towel boat but good onya !
Interesting boat. Thanks much for the tour. Having a deep centerboard is indeed an interesting and useful approach. The layout looks very seaworthy. Woodworking great.
11:42 the "autohelm" is probably a rudder position sensor for the autopilot.
Music, please?
90 points and truly worth the rating. Excellent content. Merry Christmas to the good Captain Q and First Mate Randaaa family and friends. All my time was spent on Fedship Bertram Stephens and Huggins. I watch your channel for the right one.
sounds like we have to convince you to come into the light ....lol Happy and safe holiday to you and your family as well...have a 90 point new year yourself
@@YachtHunters I am about two years from retirement. Selling everything cashing out and with the right boat the old guy at the dock. ⛵️🏝
Nice one. Thanks.
Maybe hydraulics for a roller furler
That was my thinking.
Correct
Wonderful boat. Cheers to you.
Wow would be a nice Xmas present, dream yacht Captain. Don't think it would fit under the Xmas tree but must be getting chilly up your way guys. PERTH is getting pretty warm
Very nice boat with a lot of everything for a reasonable price ! Great tour Capt. Peach pants !
I believe the smaller Autohelm arm connected to the quadrant is the rudder sensor for the autopilot.
I love my classic boats but since I started working for jeannuea and sailing and delivering brand new jeannuea sailboats I've gotten spoiled lol loved meeting ya at Annapolis boatshow, I did get to pick up a valiant 42 few weeks ago
Love it! When I fantasize about winning the lottery; I will fantasize about sailing this vessel. Thanks, it's still within in my vicarious vacation budget, 😆 !
Hi Captain, what a marvelous Vessel. And as always you and Ran Day are to much fun.. I have been looking at Sailboats for a long time have owned a couple. First was what I would call a wet boat a Chrysler Mutineer, lots of fun and a great way to learn Sailing. My Second and Favorite was a Catalina C30 tall rig. Great first cruiser…. As of late I have been looking at a Gozzard 36’ Cutter
There is one in Wisconsin right now and just under $100,000.
I mainly like to navigate around the Great Lakes and while that’s not Blue Water it can be quite a treacherous.
As always I would love to hear your thoughts,
Thanks so much and happy yacht hunting
Andrew Wood
Damn @CaptainQYachtHunter this is of exceptional quality and content. I truly loved the video. You guys are TOP NOTCH PRO'S. Thanks for the great inspiration
Thank you kindly, mr everest
Oh my God! Captain Q novice that I am totally agree with the 90 rating. What a dream boat pre-Christmas presentation. Sea Dog has all sorts of room to explore and find comfort. What a beautiful boat this would be perfect for grandkids to learn sailing. Safe design all built in to a very special Ted Hood design. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
Can you do a boat tour/review of the Heritage 12 meter sailboat we see in your intros? Yes I know it's not for sale, but it would be very interesting to see and learn about design of this boat.
No 10 because we know it floats, no 2 for a neat chart table, just a 90. Love it.
The devil is in the details. And man the details!! I watch plenty of sailing CZcams programs and people whine about boats over 100-150. I had to point out recently that a new 35' ish beneteau is 200+k. So your comment about a deal is pretty spot on.
thank you Jack new boat and cars prices for that matter are absurd
You always get a thumbs up, but it is getting expensive for me! Come back to the reality of my price range, my friend!♥️♥️
I understand.... but we stumble on various deals nd we have to include deals for those who can stretch their budget more than the rest of us besides they are still fun to look at and dream and maybe gather an idea to replicate at home boat
Art on the water .
that is a beautiful boat...beautiful.
I love Little Harbors with one exception, I would never buy a boat with a drop keel or dagger board and Ted Hood loved them. I know it’s to get into shallow waters but I prefer deep water sailing. Just my preference. I think it is a 90!
Right there with you. My current ride draws 7-6.
Since we have been doing this series, I have had a number of my notions modified a bit. There is a plus to this shallow draft design. We know of an elder couple who went around the world and the canals of Europe in their Bermuda 40 and NEVER USED THEBOARD ONCE. A lot of sailors going long distances rarely beat to windward.
I think Teds design will sail to windward just fine with the boars up , not like a 12m , but then that's not necessary but put his foil board, on that rare moment needing an extra boost to claw of a lee shore, then go ahead and set it .. My pb drew 8' and it was fine in New England and Nova Scotia and Bermuda but i would have been limited in the Chesapeake, the keys and the Abacos
This is, without any exception, the best boat y'all have looked at. It's everything I could ever want.
Sadly.......I am 5 years away from being able to execute on Project: Circumnavigation so....yeah.
Whoever buys this is going to have an amazing vessel.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
home equity ???
@@YachtHunters We have discussed that... 🙂
We have a financial plan that gets us there but I have to do my part. I know there's a lot of advice to "just do it" but I have a lot of family obligations that, should I not be positive I could take care of them, any passagemaking life would be quite miserable for me. Being an Overly Responsible Person has its downsides, don'tcha know..... :)
I'm confident the vessel I need will be there when I am ready to cast off and live the life.
Again - thanks for the channel. I love what you and Randy are doing here.
The hydraulic lines are for the roller furling probably what a gorgeous boat good video
I think you're right. I wonder if there's a hydraulic bow thruster and they ran a separate circuit for that? I'm surprised they have hydraulic furling motors, hydraulic systems are usually leaky and attract dirt and stains.
@14:00 I think that’s the hook you set when you want to make your own mooring ball…because you won’t get back on the boat! 😂
Also, merry Christmas to both of you and your families, may God bless you all.
Amazing boat !!
a real stunner!
Captain GQ here. Watching your channel. 👍
Welcome aboard, Q 👍
Love these presentations. Would be tempted to fly to the US - and buy a US yacht. This one looks excellent. I won’t take the oligarchic jab of power, however. Good value though in the US. God bless from Germany. Hang in there - and great sailing.
Great video
Thanks Edward!
Now that is a yacht.
The two threaded elbows my be an attachment for a hydraulic furler.
Ah, to dream! Thank you for the wonderful hallucinations!
Thanks, paul… she’s a good one to dream about!
Bill Shaw's Pearson 40 had a similar underbody.
Now we're talking! But I will have to wait for the next stimulus check before I can buy it. 😎
you may not get it in time but ...keep checking the mailbox...ill be checking mine thank you for watching
Wish I knew about this Little Harbor 59 before I bought my stupid house.
housing market hasn't dried up yet ???
You have room for your family there friends a cook , crew and a nanny that thing is BIG And when was the last time you saw windows in an engine room with it's own lighting .Randi Great change of pace by going under deck and showing the belly of the beast and the hard working un sung hero's of the making of a good day at play.
.....but, did you watch her cutting through the water smooth as silk
@@YachtHunters Rest assured I did indeed and sleek she looked indeed .I never not watch your whole videos .A 90 ? A lesser person might think you were smitten with this one .
Nice!
Bloody hell gentlemen. You're going farther and farther away from my budget for my passage maker. That said. Little Harbor boats are pure yacht porn! :)
Having watched another exemplary video. I would reclassify that Little Harbor as a very exclusive floating gentleman's club. Not just a sailboat or yacht.
Here's a question for those that might be interested. How would you value a Little Harbor 50 foot ketch/sloop. (I forget which) Built in a highly respected UK yard. But to Little Harbor design.
Compared to the same boat. Built in the Little Harbor yard.
I like to look at this kind of boat, but that is the extent of my involvement.
Early hood designs were spread over a number of foreign yards built as one offs until he built in his own yard i taiwan..We did a 46' yawl built in the Netherlands and the quality was there. maybe not the Asian finish of woodwork but entirely seaworthy Firefly was a beauty we did a while ago...
what are the other details on the fifty that you reference
@@YachtHunters Well she's called Deerhound, has a full keel and has been on the hard in Waterford for over a decade. Owned until fairly recent times by a Guinness and raced out of Howth Y.C. (Dublin)
She's a project. Allegedly with about 80%+ of a refit done. She has beautiful lines. However, down below is typical of pre-war designed yachts and she's laid out as more of a racer, than a cruiser. She's perhaps better suited to classic regattas etc. Rather than long passages. That said. No veneers that I could see down below. All solid hard woods and bronze everywhere.
I've watched everyone of your videos. Travelled hither and yon with you from the start. Sadly, I have a memory like a black hole. Everything goes in. Nothing comes out again :/ Plus when you review boats like Little Harbors, Oysters and similar. I find myself captivated, like you are when you see a beautiful woman in the flesh. The world could be tearing itself apart around you.
But all you have eyes for is the vision in front of you :)
Ok, that’s the boat for me!
Nice boat
Papa Bravo!
nice to see a 30 year old boat that held its price. Its a.tie with Firefly. You're going to need a new rating wheel. Keep up the good work.
That's the plan! Thanks for watching ..
Much too rich for my blood. But always happy to tune in to your newest post. 🌞🌴⛵️
isn't fun to watch and peek inside these beauties....do buy that ticket this weekend..... just in case
Could those be hydraulic fittings for a roller furling system?
The Dyna Plate isn't balls suspended in epoxy, they are bronze balls (bb's really) smashed together under high pressure. Using the bb's maximizes surface area of the alloy to the water, massively more total surface area than a plate of the same size would be. If you cast the bb's in epoxy you'd limit the surface area contact to the water. The Dyna plate should never be ground or sanded clean, best way is to soak it in a mild acid to remove the patina.
11:56 - Those cable clamps are on back to front . The bridge ( saddle ) should always be on the main cable not the tail ( dead ) end ." Never saddle a dead horse " is the old saying in rigging .
Edit - just saw that it has been mentioned already below .
Three quarter of a million dollars and it's a project boat . WOW !
I do not like the Formica look of modern boat and this more classic solid wood design is the best I have ever seen.
This boat is magnificent , woa!!I cannot understand anybody buying a new boat when such a beauty exist,
How about those little hydraulic things at the bow are for hydraulic furling?
This guy is outta control haha
Boat for cruising big oceans and live aboard luxury. I’d like a knowledgeable captain to steer this ship and a good nimble deck hand. Then I’d live my best life aboard. Finally seeing all the world and watching sun rise and set over crystalline azure seas.
Hey Randy, where can I get a pair of those shoes?
Cap. Heard Lyods of London exited recreational boat re-insurance market/ with repercussions. Two years ago my BoatUS policy (NY/NJ) went fm $400 to $1400 w/o claims. (Got Progressive policy $650) BoatUS Reason given was my 1979 O'Day Center Cocpkit sloop was 40+ years old. Are you hearing the same - what can we do? I even converted to electric (Thoosa) back in 2013...
PS... 37ft.... Gel batteries - not Lithium
11:40 is a rudder position sensor
And does it have a hydraulic furling system
Captain my Captain. This is a ship. All points are well deserved. I'm intimidated though. I would need to hire Sir Captain Q to sail it for me as well as a couple of college kids and Ran Day to film and supervise. Maybe you should add novice/intermediary/professional class to your ratings as well. Side note. Would this not have a better design as a ketch or yawl being the size is massive? Even with a lottery win this is too much boat for me. Question: What length requires a captain's license. I always thought 69 ft and up but maybe I am wrong. It happens. Lovely episode Captain Q . I shall dream of south seas and inviting islands tonight. Thanks guys.
First of all you wouldn't have to hire me ...just feed me ! Interesting observation about the rig. Hood originally designed many of his boats as Yawls. After designing the in- mast furling system, he felt the mizzen was superfluous. I guess i would like that second stick myself.
You don't need a captain's license to sail any owner private vessel unless you are going to carry passengers for hire.
@@YachtHunters Hot dogs it is then. Thank you for clearing up those questions. Happy trails.
Hydraulic roller furling headsail are what the fittings are for...
hydraulic lines for roller furling on the foredeck... i think (:~:)
I have to say I’m a little surprised this received such a high score when it’s missing a 2nd mast. 😉
The nuts and fittings on the bow are for the hydraulic furler.
Nice going . I can liv on that boat. Sel my house and disappear over the horizon
Pneumatic furling system @ 13:26?
Threaded Hydraulic Furler lines
Your score made me laugh. Not because it was high, just that no hemming and hawing. Boom, there it is. Worth every point by the loos of it.
oh ...you noticed? thanks Tony ...btw did you notice how she went through the water if not look again and study it sweet!
This is a stunning example of what a sailboat can be, BUT....... the charm of this channel has always been reviews of old boats that the average person can buy. And it seems that the Capt. is drifting away from this formula as of late.
I would like to make another request for more trailer sailers. You have had a few. The Catalina 25 comes to mind, but even that boat, while technically trailerable, is not really a trailer sailer.
A trailer sailer, by my definition is generally 20ft or under, not fixed keel. Something you can launch single handed in a half hour or less. I think the Sunfish is the only boat you've done that I'd put in this category.
Hydraulic roller furling?
zing!!! it hit two days later mind fog really dum here especially after just seeing the oyster but of course she was rigged thanks for chiming in
Another fully dressed lady absolutely stunning I would say it but I can't bring myself to whoever is the next custodian will be a very lucky person
yes Rob .... what else can i say
