The Lidgard 40 is a testament to the New Zealand "fast cruiser" philosophy, primarily associated with the drafting board of the esteemed designer John Lidgard. Developed in the early 1980s, this model—particularly the "Iseries"—was conceived as an offshorecapable vessel that could bridge the gap between a family cruiser and a competitive ocean racer. Many of these yachts were constructed in the Lidgard yard in Auckland using traditional New Zealand timbercomposite techniques, such as doublediagonal Kauri or Kahikatea planking sheathed in Dynel or fiberglass. This construction method resulted in hulls that are exceptionally stiff, relatively light for their size, and highly resistant to the punishing conditions of the South Pacific.
