She is built in New Zealand to the Demijohn design of John Lidgard, known for designing aesthetically perfect boats, with superb sailing characteristics. John's designs have a Worldwide reputation for fuss free blue water passages and easy handled fun sailing for club events or coastal cruising.

Her construction is double diagonal New Zealand Kauri glassed over.

Force 10 stove/oven. Good Refrigeration. The safety gear includes EPIRB, 2 X Crew Saver life jackets with AIS and harness for offshore, Drogue, harnesses, and the usual flares etc. The engine is a Yanmar 2GM20F that has done 435 hours since a full recon that included a new gearbox.

The rigging was replaced in 2018 and antifouled June 22. Kidnapper was sailed to Sydney from NZ for the World ½ ton cup and has Sydney Hobarts and many Tasman crossings to her credit. This yacht is a true Sailors boat. Many upgrades including B&G wind sensor and water filtration system. She comes with a Force four tender. Maintenance has been professionally carried out.
