TRUE NORTH

Cruisers TRUE NORTH

As the only aft-cockpit Little Harbor 54 built, TRUE NORTH is a rare offering in today’s brokerage market. In addition to an extensive list of standard Little Harbor amenities, this luxurious bluewater cruiser offers electric sail handling, bow thruster, generator, inverter, air conditioning and Espar heat. True to the Hood design philosophy, moderate displacement, a low-wetted-surface-to-sail ratio and a tall rig provide impressive light air speeds and momentum, as well as powerful and comfortable heavy air performance.  

On deck, TRUE NORTH features a huge cockpit with a fixed drop-leaf table for six, standing headroom below a large dodger and easy access to below via hinged raised-panel doors. All sail-handling controls, sheets and winches are within easy reach of the helmsman. Built-in lockers for storage of rope tails are located in the cockpit combing. 

The interior is finished in the Herreshoff style, which accentuates the feeling of openness in a cleverly-arranged open-plan salon, galley and navigation area. The master stateroom features a centerline queen-sized berth, a desk/vanity and an en-suite head with separate stall shower. The guest stateroom also has a queen-sized berth and en-suite head and shower, plus wet hanging locker. 

TRUE NORTH has seen seasonal use in New England for the last two decades and been stored at top yards with continual care and maintenance. She has benefited from significant upgrades in the past 2-3 years including new sails, new running rigging, new electronics, major overhauls of the plumbing system, and more.
