FIREFLY, formerly ROBIN, represents a turning point in the development of the CCA cruiser/racer. Ted Hood drew her lines in 1961, during a watershed period in yacht design.
In Hood's opinion at the time, the best way to develop the newer, more severely shaped underwater lines in a 45' centerboarder was to use steel construction. "Fiberglass was pretty much untried in big boats" he says. "But alloy materials were proven. Frans Maas in Holland had been building big steel sailboats (Northern Light for example) and was getting some beautiful results. We needed sharp cutaways and fairly radical bilges and garboard areas, and steel was strong and relatively light way to go. " Hence the original Little Harbor 45's, the "steel Robins," were born. The first boat in the series, christened Robin in 1961, went on to great success in the SORC of 1962 with Hood himself at the helm.
The second steel Robin was longer by a foot, the result of stretching her bow to accommodate a bigger headsail.
