Its heavy displacement and full keel design appeal to owners who value safety and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 70500.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.57, and a full/long keel, the Little Harbor 60 exhibits strong inherent stability and seakeeping characteristics suitable for serious offshore passage-making.
