1995 KENNEDY 11M (1995)

This 1995 Kennedy 11.3m represents a rare opportunity to acquire a hand-crafted New Zealand classic with genuine blue-water capability. Built by the Wooden Boat Company using triple diagonal Kauri glassed over, she combines traditional craftsmanship with thoroughly modern systems upgrades. Twin Cummins 6BT 210hp shaft-drive diesels deliver a comfortable 12-knot cruise and 21-knot top speed from a generous 1,100-litre stainless steel fuel tank, giving serious offshore range. Accommodation is exceptional for the length - a forward cabin with four bunks, a lockable port-side master with double berth, and a dedicated lockup shower and toilet compartment with electric toilet and 190-litre holding tank. The lower helm features Raymarine Axiom combo, radar, autopilot and VHF - all repeated at the enclosed flybridge with its back-to-back seating and sliding windows. The aft galley runs a four-burner gas hob, grill and oven, while the 2021 400Ah lithium-ion house bank with Victron inverter charger ensures modern energy independence. Shore power, electric capstan, Fusion Bluetooth stereo and a beautifully appointed teak cockpit and swim platform round out a package that punches well above its price point. Priced at $125,000, this is exceptional value for a twin-cabin Kauri cruiser.
