The Lotus 9.5, often referred to as the Lotus 950, represents a pivotal evolution in the portfolio of legendary New Zealand designer Alan Wright. Emerging in the mid1980s as a development of the highly successful Lotus 9.2, the 9.5 was designed to offer more volume, a longer waterline, and improved performance while maintaining the "fat boat" philosophy that made Wright’s designs famous. Built primarily by Lotus Yachts in New Zealand, with some hulls finished by amateur builders or Cavendish Boats, the model served as a versatile bridge between the pure coastal cruiser and the competitive club racer. It is characterized by its high freeboard, significant beam carried well aft, and a surprisingly spacious interior for a vessel under 32 feet.
