Little Harbor 54

CHASSEUR is an exceptional example of the classic Little Harbor 54. Customized with an extended, hydraulically-tuned mast, double headsails and Leisure Furl boom, she is ready for her next Bermuda race or a family cruise to the Caribbean. Solidly built and stable in any sea, CHASSEUR remains comfortable in 40 knot winds and 20 foot seas, while crews on less capable yachts prepare for extreme conditions. But when the winds die, her fully battened main carries her along at 4 knots in 10 knot winds while similar boats with in-mast furling are forced to motor. And if a beat to windward is required, just drop her airfoil centerboard, and she will out-point anything in her class.

Extensively equipped for extended offshore cruising, CHASSEUR is also fully compliant to ORC Category One racing requirements. A finely detailed cruiser, she is also race-ready. In excellent condition, CHASSEUR is one of a very few yachts that can be considered an investment with some endurance, as well-maintained Little Harbors continue to sell at or above their original prices. All good reasons to own and enjoy one of the all-time best cruising boats out there.

Include CHASSEUR in your search, and you will not only be impressed by her equipment and condition, but also enticed by her beautiful lines and finely crafted construction.

She sleeps seven in three staterooms, with two additional sea berths in the main cabin. CHASSEUR has three heads, all with showers. Below decks, CHASSEUR is finished throughout with off-white bulkheads and contrasting gloss varnished teak joinery, lockers and doors as well as varnished teak and holly soles. The joinerwork detail is elegant and comparable to the world’s finest furniture. The high gloss varnished teak combined with clean style off-white bulkheads make for a stunning ambiance below decks. The overheads are off-white, matching the bulkheads, with teak trim. The entire below decks accommodations, salon and galley are air conditioned by MarineAir with three separate compressors, each with its own digital thermostat. Heat can be produced from the system in a reverse cycle mode. An Espar diesel-fired heater is in the lazarette with ducting throughout the vessel. Natural ventilation is excellent, compliments of (14) stainless steel opening portholes (gaskets replaced, 2009) and (10) hatches. All hatches and ports are screened. All hatches have new gaskets, and large hatches have new lenses (2009). (12) Hella fans (2009); interior LED red/white overhead lights (2009), (8) LED reading lamps, Peekaboo shades over portlights. Upholstery was installed during the 2009 refit.
