1986 Little Harbor 4243ft

COURTSHIP is an exceptional boat with all the ease of sailing shorthanded that only her unique cockpit layout can provide. All sailing functions can be accomplished by the helmsman without leaving the wheel, as her Stoway rig controls and both primary and secondary self-tailing winches are within easy reach.

Belowdecks, COURTSHIP is a most comfortable 42-footer, with space and ambiance in the main saloon that rivals that of bigger boats. The famed Little Harbor Custom Yachts attention to detail and craftsmanship combined with Ted Hood design ingenuity is evident throughout the boat both on and below decks.

COURTSHIP has been maintained to the best of standards since new, with heated inside storage for the winter months and limited New England seasonal use in the summers. COURTSHIP has had just two ownerships; her second and present owner has loved her for well in excess of twenty years.

Starting forward is the owner's stateroom with V-berth and filler to make a double berth. There are port and starboard hull/deck hanging lockers, two foot lockers, a generous cedar lined hanging locker and six drawers in the owners quarters. Just aft to port is a large head with shower and another hanging locker opposite to starboard.

The main salon has U-shaped seating area to port with beautiful inlaid teak dining table and a pull-out sofa berth to starboard. Generous in-berth storage with hanging locker plus lockers above.

The U-shaped galley is to port and is equipped with a Force Ten 3-burner gimbaled propane stove with oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, double stainless steel sinks, hot and cold pressure water, salt water foot pump and generous storage for china and cooking utensils.

Opposite the galley is a full nav station with quarter berth aft and more locker storage.

The interior joinery is satin varnished teak with lovely laminated gloss varnished deck beams under the coach roof. There is Espar heating throughout.
