BRISE DE MER
1987 Little Harbor 53
Oxford, Maryland · 2,590 engine hours · Updated Oct 18, 2026
Overview
BRISE DE MER is a great example of Ted Hood's popular Little Harbor 53 Series that boasts fine workmanship throughout and a unique cockpit design that allows one person to handle all sail controls without leaving the helm, as well as easy access to side decks without stepping up. Her proven hull design features generous beam and displacement to provide exceptional living and storage space as well as remarkable stability and seakindliness offshore. The low wetted surface hull is also easily driven in light wind by a high-aspect sail plan extending 72’ above the water. Upwind performance is enhanced by a deep, efficient centerboard that increases draft to 11'-4" when lowered.
BRISE DE MER features a rare two-cabin layout with an oversized master cabin forward and VIP/guest cabin aft. She has a relatively new engine and generator, and her teak decks remain in good shape following full reconditioning in 2015 and regular Semco oil treatments since then. Seriously for sale by her current owners of seven years following their recent move to a larger Little Harbor sailing yacht. For anyone looking for a comfortable, high quality, pedigree sailing yacht with tremendous value, look no further than BRISE DE MER.
