Little Harbor 44

REDSTART is a great example of the handsome Hood-designed Little Harbor 44 series that provides exceptional performance, seakindliness and shoal draft of only 5' with centerboard up. Built to high standards throughout, she can be easily shorthanded thanks to her electric winches and furling mainsail. She also features the desirable two-stateroom/two-head layout for privacy and versatility. REDSTART has had only three owners and has benefited from summertime use only, with inside winter storage every year since new, and with many recent upgrades including hull and mast paint, sails, electronics and much more. Highly recommended for someone looking for a high-quality, pedigree sailing yacht.

ACCOMMODATIONS and LAYOUT REDSTART sleeps four in two staterooms, plus three in the main salon. The interior is beautifully crafted with satin-finished solid teak trim, paneled cabin doors, and louvered or lattice-front locker fronts throughout. Cabin soles are varnished laid teak and holly, with removable overhead panels bordered by laminated deck beams. Numerous opening port lights, deck hatches, cowl vents and a hull window provide very nice light and ventilation throughout. Interior fabrics were tastefully redone several years ago and show like new, including memory foam mattresses for all berths.

The forward cabin has a large V-berth which converts to a double with a filler piece. There are numerous lockers, two bureaus with drawers, and two hanging lockers. A large hatch, two opening port lights and a dorade vent provide great ventilation. Further aft to starboard is a head with private entrance that includes a sink with vanity, shower, teak grate and ample storage. The main salon features a full U-shaped settee to starboard, with centerline settee that hinges up for easy engine access. An up/down teak dining table allows expansion of settee to a double berth. A unique feature not found in any other LH 44's is a large hull portlight (re-bedded 2024) which provides more light and visibility. To port is a settee, with nav station forward and pilot berth outboard.

The galley is aft to starboard, adjacent to the companionway, with the following highlights: Grunert refrigerator and freezer with hold over plates, raw water pump replaced (2025), Force 10 3-burner stove with oven and broiler, twin stainless steel sinks, hot and cold pressure water, manual salt and fresh water, galleyware. The double guest cabin is aft to port, featuring twin berths that can convert to a large double with a small filler piece. There is a double hanging locker, and numerous drawers and lockers. The aft head can be accessed privately from the cabin or from the main salon, and includes a sink with vanity, shower and teak grate.
