It is with sadness that we advise of the passing of John Lidgard who died on 6th July
John was a highly respected boat designer and boatbuilder with many yacht and launch designs and builds to his name. He was a statesman of the NZ marine industry.
This 33’ John Lidgard designed and 1968 built Pescador, is powered by a Ford 120hp 6cyl. diesel and gets her along at a comfortable 9 knots
He will be remembered for not only his huge contribution to the marine industry but for his humility and encouragement that he gave others in our industry.
Our thoughts are with his sons Duthie and Kevin and other family members.
