KIUROS is a magnificent shoal-draft center cockpit, offshore sailing yacht. Maintained by the same captain for close to fifteen years, she’s truly a great offering. Priced to sell.
KIUROS has to be the freshest, most beautifully maintained and renovated Little Harbor 58 to hit the brokerage market. Lovingly maintained to the highest standards by her skipper for the past eleven years, her systems and equipment have been continuously updated. A magnificent shoal-draft, center cockpit, offshore sailing yacht, KIUROS is truly a rare offering.
Owner’s cabin aft with private companionway to owner’s aft cockpit, plus two guest staterooms forward.
KIUROS has three generous staterooms, owner’s cabin aft and two double guest cabins forward. The joinery below decks is classic Little Harbor with beautifully varnished teak, finished to a smooth, grain-filled surface. The below decks joinery is highly detailed with raised-panel doors and locker fronts. Lovely fiddles and edgings create a beautiful and masterfully executed nautical ambiance.
The teak and holly cabin sole is built of separate removable floorboards, providing unusually easy access to tank tops, seacocks and machinery. Lock-in type handles are installed with each section. Construction is of solid 3/8” alternating teak and holly laid over a lightweight core material for long-term stability.
GUEST STATEROOMS
The forward guest stateroom is particularly generous with a V-berth that is 9’-6” wide at the head and converts into a most comfortable double. Ample storage is provided by way of drawers, hanging locker and lockers running along the hull deck joint. Aft and to port is the second guest stateroom. This stateroom has a double lower berth with pull-out upper that can be lowered to create a settee using the lower berth. Again, generous lockers and drawers provide good storage.
To starboard is a full head with vanity, stall shower, good locker space and two doors providing either direct access from the main salon or private access from the forward stateroom.
SALON
The main salon is one of KIUROS’s calling cards and features Little Harbor hull ports along with stainless opening ports in the cabin trunk. The salon is spacious and comfortable, with a specially designed, contoured L-shaped settee to port with a beautifully crafted drop-leaf dining table. The upholstery is cream leather.
On centerline, KIUROS has seating for two on an island settee. The island settee is unique in that the back rest is reversible. It can serve as a backrest for seating, facing either to port for purposes of dining at the dining table, or shift to the opposite side of the settee to serve as an additional small couch for the coffee table and L-shaped settee to starboard. The starboard L-shaped settee is built so that it may be converted to a wide berth for extra sleeping accommodations.
KIUROS’s main salon is truly exceptional. The detail and design allow it to feel cozy, yet at the same time be light and airy. She is tastefully equipped with Cantalupi chrome-plated brass light fixtures. Ventilation is exceptional with stainless cowl vents, overhead hatches and opening stainless port lights. With her built-in fixed hull ports and cabin ports above, one has a view of the outside world from the salon, whether seated or standing.
GALLEY
Adjacent to the companionway and after the salon is a U-shaped galley. The galley is equipped with a Seaward Princess stove, new Frigoboat water-cooled DC system for double-door fridge and and double-door freezer. The fridge is both top and side loading, generous in size and has stainless shelves and liners. The galley is beautifully detailed with locker space below and above the counters. There is good ventilation from dorade ventilators, opening deck hatch and ports. There is an eye-level microwave. The galley is nicely positioned one step down from the salon and allows a sense of privacy for food prep in the galley, yet the person in the galley is not divorced from conversation in the salon.
NAV STATION
Across the salon to port is the navigation station. The navigators' desk faces aft so that when seated at the table one can easily communicate through the companionway with those in the cockpit. The Nav equipment has been upgraded with the latest Garmin electronics linked to the cockpit.
MASTER STATEROOM
The master stateroom is aft and can be accessed from the private aft cockpit or on the port side from the nav area/bar/freezer area. This cabin contains ample drawers and lockers, safe, two hull ports, plus four opening stainless steel ports in the cabin trunk. There is a queen-sized berth to port with a custom memory foam mattress with settee/pilot berth opposite. Hanging lockers are on port and centerline. To starboard is the owner's head with a separate stall shower and substantial drawer storage.

DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
The yacht's DC electrical supply is 12 volt, supplied by a bank of six heavy-duty gel cell type house batteries (replaced 2014), with a total capacity of 1,200 amp hours. An independent 200 amp-hour battery is dedicated to engine starting. There is also an independent 12 kW Northern Lights Genset battery. House batteries are charged by a 135-amp engine alternator and the engine battery is charged by a 55-amp alternator. Alternatively, all batteries may be charged by a new 12-volt automatic Victron interface inverter/charger run off the generator, or by shore power.
All ship's wiring is of tinned copper wire run in a PVC conduit system from bow to stern. Access for service or additional wiring installation is made easy at load center junctions concealed by a watertight cover. All wires are colored and numbered for easy identification.
Features:
AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
ASEA 12 kW shore power converter transformer to allow 220 or 11O VAC, making her a true global cruiser. The yacht's AC electrical system is 110 volt/60 cycles. AC power is supplied by two 50-amp shore power inlets. AC power is also supplied by a 3000 watt Victron inverter/charger and by a 12 kW Northern Lights diesel generator (in full sound shield), new 2014. AC functions include water heater, battery charger, refrigeration, electrical outlets, inverter, microwave oven, ice maker etc.

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.
