Little Harbor 75

KAHUNA is an outstanding example of the Ted Hood-designed Little Harbor 75. Her many appealing features include twin steering stations, pilothouse, large cockpit for entertaining, side walk-throughs for easy access to main deck, private owner’s cockpit aft, three large owner/guest cabins, spacious crew cabin forward and immaculate walk-in engine room. Her twin engines, bow thruster, hydraulic furling main/genoa and multiple electric winches make her a dream to operate at sea or docking, and her shoal draft of only 6’–6” opens up many more cruising areas than the typical modern 75’ sailing yacht.

KAHUNA underwent an extensive and complete refit in 1998 at the Little Harbor Yacht Yard in Rhode Island and has since been significantly upgraded with new equipment, systems and furnishings and meticulously maintained by dedicated owners. She is ready to provide her new owner with an excellent platform for extended cruising in comfort and safety.

The interior accommodations are beautifully executed in high gloss varnished teak with teak and holly soles. Cabin doors are solid panel teak with teak door frames. Lockable sole sections are easily removed for access to bilges, tanks and plumbing. Main hanging lockers are cedar lined and lighted. Interior spaces are air conditioned and heated, with reverse cycle or diesel heating, and Hella fans for additional ventilation. All interior lighting was recently upgraded to low-voltage Imtra LED light fixtures. The cabins and heads are furnished with cream colored vertical curtains. Shower controls are auto-temperature controlled. The interior space is well ventilated with 24 opening ports (glass replaced late 2014) with screens, nine deck hatches with screens and seven dorades.

Owners’ Suite (Aft)

The owners’ full-width stateroom can be entered by walking aft from the main salon or from the aft cockpit companionway. To starboard is a queen-sized berth with Tempurpedic mattress. To port are twin built-in leather upholstered chairs, with a pilot berth above and outboard. The cabin is well ventilated with ten opening ports and a screened cockpit companionway. Air conditioning and heating (reverse cycle air or diesel) is individually controlled for this cabin. The owners’ ensuite bathroom is split with toilet and sink to starboard and shower and sink to port.

The stateroom is equipped with satellite television, VCR and CD player and speakers for cabin and aft cockpit. The vessel’s navigation parameters can be monitored from a B & G display in the owners’ cabin. There is ample storage with many built-in drawers, cabinets, hanging lockers and bookshelves.

Starboard Guest Stateroom

Both guest staterooms are located directly aft of the main salon, on each side of the passageway. The starboard guest stateroom is furnished with a forward-facing queen berth with Tempurpedic mattress, with a single berth above and outboard. The cabin contains an ensuite bathroom with shower and vanity, a built-in nightstand, hanging locker and ample storage under the berth. This cabin also has individual air conditioning and heating controls.

Port Guest Stateroom

The port guest stateroom has twin berths, with an additional single berth over the outboard berth. This cabin also has an ensuite bathroom with shower and vanity, built-in teak nightstand between the berths, hanging locker and significant storage under berths. Air conditioning and heating is shared and controlled through the owners’ cabin controls.

Forward Stateroom/Crew Quarters

This forward stateroom can be used as crew accommodations or as a guest stateroom. An elevated queen-sized double berth to port is reached via a teak ladder. Under the berth is a large storage area for the vessel’s canvas, emergency equipment and first aid kits. To starboard is a built-in leather-covered settee, perfect for reading or relaxing while off watch. Above and outboard of the settee is a single berth that can also be partitioned for storage.

The vessel’s navigation status can be monitored from the forward stateroom via a B & G Hydra display. A CD player is also available for dedicated use in this cabin. A Bosch stacked washer and dryer are located behind the door to the forward cabin.

The ensuite bathroom is between the forepeak and cabin and contains a toilet and shower to port and vanity and sink to starboard. Adjacent to the vanity is a large hanging locker.

Main Salon

The stairs from the pilothouse lead below to the main salon, a well-lit and functional area for dining and entertainment. The dining area is to port with an L-shaped settee and a teak drop-leaf table that can be electrically lowered to serve as a coffee or cocktail table. To starboard are two upholstered armchairs with a wet bar including bottle storage and glass storage forward.

Aft to starboard is the navigation station that features complete electronics, chart table and a swing-out seat. Aft to port is the electrical control panel and entertainment system that includes satellite TV, Fusion stereo unit with XM/Sirius and AM/FM radio, integrated i-Pod, and a Sony DVD/VCR. The Fusion radio also supports cockpit speakers. Generator and inverter/charger remote controls are conveniently located above electrical panel (AC and DC) for managing start/stop and performance while in operation. Six Lexan UV-protected windows provide tremendous light and almost 360-degree visibility.

Galley

The galley is located forward, just one step below the main salon, and can be either closed off or opened up to the salon as desired. The well-equipped, functional and spacious galley enables safe meal preparation while underway, at dock or at anchor. This efficient galley features:

• Force Ten four-burner propane stove with oven
• General Electric microwave
• Separate Grunert top-loading freezer and top/front loading refrigerator. The refrigeration systems are supported with dual compressor refrigeration units (new 2010) to provide additional cooling capacity as well as redundancy
• Deep, double stainless steel sinks with hot and cold pressurized water and sink macerator
• Significant storage capacity for provisions, utensils and equipment

Located on the starboard side of the galley is a teak breakfast banquette with upholstered benches for casual use by owner or private use by crew.

Engine Room/Mechanical Space

KAHUNA features a walk-in engine room that is easily accessible after descending three steps from the main salon. The mechanical spaces are well lit and organized to provide easy access to engines, generators, refrigeration, water-maker and fuel and water management systems. A built-in workbench and tool chest with seating, and accessible storage for all spare parts make maintenance efficient and safe. A pump room is located forward of the engine room and can be accessed from the galley. The engine rooms are protected with a fire suppression system and emergency engine-driven bilge and fire hose pump. The vessel was MCA certified in 2009 for safety, construction and equipment.

Main Cockpit/Pilot House

The pilothouse forward includes a steering station with full engine controls and multiple electronic displays. There is a pedestal chair, twin aft-facing bench seats and a cooler for drinks to starboard. The pilothouse has a separate Eisenglas enclosure to insulate the pilothouse in cool weather.

The main cockpit features a full steering station and comfortable seating with a long fixed drop-leaf teak table for outside dining and entertainment. A very attractive design feature are the deck-level walk-throughs to the side decks forward of the cockpit for easy access directly below without interfering with guests seated in the cockpit – a detail rarely found on any yacht under 100’. Another great feature is the ease of all sail handling directly from the cockpit. The entire area is protected by a built-in stainless steel framed bimini with removable screening and Eisenglas enclosures. The area is equipped with low voltage LED courtesy lights overhead and in walkways.
