NORTHERN LIGHTS Yacht for Sale

60' Little Harbor | 1972 | $295,000

Castine, ME

Northern Lights Yacht | 60' Little Harbor 1972

NORTHERN LIGHTS is a highly unique cruising yacht that would be perfect for the liveaboard family. She is a proven globe-trotter with the track record to prove it.  With her deck-level centercockpit she features a spacious aft cabin and private head, with two cabins and two heads forward of the large main salon. Rigging includes an in-mast furling mainsail, roller furling genoa, and a stack-pack mizzen. She is twin screw diesel and includes an electric bow-thruster. Her shallow 5' draft means you can cruise in almost any waters, but also gives her the low drag that makes her fast and weatherly. With the centerboard down she draws 13' 10’’ and goes upwind with enthusiasm. Her electric winches mean that she can be easily sailed by just two people. Three cabins and three heads offer ample privacy and space for as many as three couples to cruise comfortably. 

There are not many other monohulls in this size range that will offer the space and amenities that Northern Lights has. She is currently on a mooring in Castine, Maine and is ready to cruise the world.
