Stuart, FL, US
SEA ROSE is an exceptional treasure. She’s not only a magnificent shoal-draft, center-cockpit offshore sailing vessel, she’s one that has been kept in top condition since the day she was first launched. To date, she’s had just two ownerships, and in recent years she’s had what amounts to a major refit. You name it - engine, rod rigging, teak decks and more have been replaced with new. Her spars, deck and topsides were all Awlgripped in 2019. Even her on-deck brightwork was stripped and re-varnished in 2019.
SEA ROSE is one of those very few gems that everyone hopes to find when looking for that special boat.

DECK CONSTRUCTION
The deck is constructed of FRP with Divinycell H-80 foam core for strength and stiffness. In areas where deck equipment is installed, core is replaced with Divinycell H-200 high-density foam. Cockpit sides and coaming are solid fiberglass. Deck flange is solid glass, approximately 3/8" thickness. The deck is bonded and bolted down with epoxy putty to the inboard angled hull flange with 5/16" bolts on 8" centers. Additional fastenings are provided with teak toe rail thru-bolted on 8" centers. All deck hatch landings are molded in FRP. The hull and all topside structures were painted Awlgrip Off White in 2019.
DECK/CUSTOM STAINLESS WORK
DECK JOINERWORK
New Teak Decking System’s teak decks (2015). Deck, cockpit and cabin trunk Awlgripped (2019). Toe rails are solid teak, flared and tapered to follow hull topsides. Dorade boxes are solid teak with dovetailed joints and Lexan tops. Teak eyebrow moldings run along cabin side and wrap seamlessly around front and back of cabin trunks. SEA ROSE’s handrails, along with her unique and beautifully cockpit coamings/backrests and so much more, were again finely crafted in solid teak. Toe rails and eyebrow moldings stripped to bare wood and refinished with ten coats of varnish (2019).
DECK EQUIPMENT
HULL
Hand-laid fiberglass hull with 3/4" Airex foam core for added strength and sound/thermal insulation. Molded-in fiberglass fuel and water tanks, and centerboard trunk. Hand-laid fiberglass deck with Divinylcell core construction with teak decks (2015) Varnished teak exterior trim with highest quality stainless steel portlights, hatches and cowl ventilators. Vinylester resin is used on the exterior skins for the highest possible resistance to water osmosis, plus epoxy bottom coating with lnterlux 2000 system. Topside Awlgripped Oyster White (2019) with blue boot top. Coach roof is non-skid, with white deckhouse, Awlgripped 2019. There is a molded fiberglass rubrail along the hull, with stainless steel striker.
CENTERBOARD
The centerboard is molded FRP with bronze protective shoe in leading edge and solid FRP around pin area. The centerboard has a highly efficient foil shape for enhanced upwind performance. The centerboard is raised hydraulically via the Navtec panel in the cockpit. The centerboard trunk is molded FRP. Centerboard provides for SEA ROSE’s unusually shoal draft of 5’-2” with board up and 11’-6" when the board is in its fully down position.
RUDDER
The balanced spade rudder is molded FRP with 5" stainless steel rudderstock. Rudder blade molded around stainless steel frame welded to rudderstock. Rudderstock supported by upper bearing (Harken, new 2013) and lower Duromax bearing. A bronze stuffing box is provided with Teflon-impregnated packing. A retractable rudder blade carries a 5'-2" draft when up and 7'-6" draft when down. This rudder blade pivots up and down to provide excellent steering while maintaining SEA ROSE’s unusually shoal draft when both the centerboard and rudder blade are in their up positions.
BALLAST
All ballast is lead cast in place and fully encapsulated by the fiberglass hull and keel. The top of the lead is covered with approximately 1/2" solid FRP.
OTHER
All structural bulkheads are bonded to the hull and deck with FRP and Airex foam spacers. Floor beams are mahogany, interlocked and bonded to hull for rigid and durable support of cabin sole. FRP fuel and water tanks integral to the hull, for additional stiffness to hull laminate and to use the maximum amount of volume available. All tanks fully baffled with ample inspection ports. Water tanks are coated with clear Gelcoat. Chainplates are 316 stainless flat bar weldments thru-bolted to reinforced FRP attached to hull. Stainless mast step ¼” thickness, with limber holes and provision for 3" of fore and aft adjustment. FRP engine bed with steel reinforcement, bonded directly to hull.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
All exposed hull surfaces are lined with solid teak ceiling strips and installed with spacers to ensure proper ventilation. The overhead is divided into removable sections covered with off-white Formica.
Hanging lockers and lockers under berths are lined with aromatic western red cedar. All other lockers above seat level are meticulously lined with teak. All wiring and plumbing is completely hidden from view in these lockers by removable panels.
Head countertops are granite and galley are white Corian. All other countertops in the boat are teak with a holly inlay. Berth and seat tops are Formica-lined with access to storage below through multiple lift-up openings.
All water and fuel tanks are below cabin sole level, providing extensive storage under seats and furniture throughout the interior. Plywood lee boards are installed for all berths. Berth mattresses are 5" thick, using laminated variable density foam for added comfort. Ample shelving, bookshelves and handholds are provided throughout the interior. The bilges are faired and finished with gray Gelcoat.

REMARKS
The Little Harbor 58 is one of the most versatile cruising sailboats available. Her shoal-draft “whale bottom” allows her access to the shallowest harbors, yet she is extremely fast and comfortable on a passage.
SEA ROSE is laid out for luxury liveaboard cruising. She has three staterooms, each with a private head, and a bright, spacious main salon capable of entertaining large groups comfortably. She is beautifully finished and has had the best of maintenance since new.
