Patriot Yacht for Sale | 38 Little Harbor Yachts Portsmouth, RI

INTRODUCTION:

PATRIOT is an exceptionally well cared for Little Harbor WhisperJet. She has tremendous features, including the Hinckley JetStick® steering system, generator, air conditioning, and twin Yanmar engines. Her shoal draft and high performance make her uniquely versatile as a day boat or for extended cruising. She is safe, seaworthy, fast, all the while being gorgeous and fun.

For many boaters, the Little Harbor WhisperJet 38 is the ultimate yacht and one of the most attractive, innovative products to have ever arrived on the marine market. Her boutique Hood design is at the pinnacle of thinking, proper in all respects -- offering superb maneuverability, great 1’-10” shallow draft capability, speed, seaworthiness and easy handling. For many cruising areas she offers a nearly unparalleled combination of benefits and aesthetics, allowing access to shallow waters other yachts may only view from offshore. Free of underwater appendages such as rudders, shafts and propellers, there is less worry about snagging lobster pots or hitting underwater obstructions.

HULL & DECK:

Hull:

The Little Harbor 38 WhisperJet has a strong hull fabricated from a combination of knitted bi-directional E-glass with Kevlar hybrid laminate, foam core for strength and sound deadening throughout. This combination of superior materials results in a stronger boat that is lighter -- thus faster and fuel efficient.

Superb comfort is inherent in the design. The floor is teak planking overlaid on structural fiberglass decking. The hard top offers great visibility and has lighting, ventilation from deck hatches and is lined with a custom headliner.

Additionally, the entire bridge deck hinges via an electric lift, allowing access to engines and systems maintenance. There is also a smaller hatch allowing quick access to the engine room.

The Helm Station is located forward to starboard, with full electronics and instrumentation, including a leather Stidd helm chair with built-in Hinckley JetStick® Gen-2 steering and control module. Forward to port is a customized teak chart table.

The L-shaped settee to port seats four comfortably with a tapered teak table and cover. Alternatively, the table can be removed altogether to make room for more guests or lowered to form a third berth for sleeping. A removable seat back can be used by the co-helmsman/navigator.
