1995 Little Harbor 51 51'

TUMBLEHOME sleeps four in two private cabins, plus two in the pilothouse and two in the main salon, with two separate heads and a very open layout for comfortable cruising. The interior is finished in a combination of white Formica, solid cherry trim, varnished cherry main bulkheads (much was newly added in 2019), and solid flat-paneled locker fronts. Cabin soles are varnished teak and holly, with varnished cherry hull ceilings and fabric overhead panels.

One step down from the main cockpit, one enters the enclosed pilothouse that features seating for up to six. There is an L-shaped settee to port with up/down varnished cherry table that can convert to an on-deck double berth with mattress filler piece. To starboard is a full-length settee with built-in nav station and varnished cherry chart table forward. This unique space is comfortable, safe from the elements, climate-controlled with heat/AC, and quite airy with superb visibility in all directions. Overhead hatches, opening front windshield and numerous fixed windows provide excellent natural light and ventilation. In good conditions, the rear curtains can be opened to provide one large indoor/outdoor living space under sail or at anchor. Secondary access to the engine room and generator is through the lift-up starboard settee.

Stepping down from the pilothouse, one finds a functional wrap-around galley to starboard with storage and a large counter space.

Features include:

• Corian countertops
• Double stainless steel sinks
• Manual backup faucet
• Large front-loading refrigerator and top-loading freezer
• Force 10 3-burner stove with oven and broiler, and propane tank
• Microwave oven
• Numerous drawers and storage lockers, including overhead cabinetry

The guest stateroom is opposite the galley to port, featuring upper and lower berths, bureau, and hanging locker.

The guest head is adjacent to the guest cabin, with private access from the cabin or via a second door opposite the galley for convenient use as day head. There is a toilet, wash basin with shower and wet locker. In addition, a door leads aft to the walk-in engine room for easy access to all machinery and equipment located below the pilothouse.

Forward of the galley and guest cabin is the spacious full-beam main salon that features a large oval dinette to starboard with centerline settee that includes bar storage, varnished cherry countertop and additional drawers. To port is another full-length settee with backrest that flips up to provide a second sea berth. Highlights include two brass electric lanterns on forward bulkheads. There are (2) deck hatches, (5) opening portholes and (4) fixed Lexan hull ports. Due to the hull design, there is a surprising amount of storage space below and behind all settees.

The master stateroom is forward, with a V-berth configuration featuring two large berths that can be converted to a double (new mattress, 2017). The cabin is unusually large for a yacht of this size and provides exceptional storage and floor area. There are bureaus each side with numerous drawers, lockers and (2) hanging lockers. A large deck hatch and (2) opening portholes provide great light and ventilation.

There is a private ensuite head to port with toilet, wash basin, deck hatch and opening porthole. Opposite to starboard is an ensuite shower with built-in seat, deck hatch and opening porthole.
