The Raven 26 is a quintessential example of the "Kiwi pocket cruiser," a design that emerged from the prolific board of John Lidgard in the late 1970s. Designed and primarily built in New Zealand by Raven Yachts, this GRP (glassreinforced plastic) sloop was conceived to provide a seaworthy, familyfriendly platform capable of navigating the oftenturbulent waters of the Hauraki Gulf. Unlike many contemporary 26footers of its era that prioritized interior volume at the expense of sailing lines, the Raven 26 maintains a sleek, traditional profile that reflects the Lidgard Design philosophy of balancing performance with practical offshore capability. It remains one of the most successful production yachts in New Zealand’s maritime history, serving as a gateway vessel for generations of coastal sailors.
