CLASSIC YACHT KAMALII - a family cruiser with the finest pedigree
KAMALII - Philip Rhodes 75 ft #Bermudan #Ketch 1958 https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/630/KAMALII She is considered one of the ‘Rhodes 77s’, but with a big difference: her original owner - heir to his family’s oil fortune, Larry Doheny III - specified a deep, full keel hull form for enhanced windward performance for this deceptively fast and exceptionally comfortable family cruiser-racer ketch. Or is it #racer-cruiser? In Doheny’s long ownership, KAMALII participated in seven consecutive bi-annual Los Angeles to Honolulu ‘Transpac’ Races, finishing 2nd in class A in 1959. The present owners purchased KAMALII in #california and after major hull restoration, in 2013 cruised the Pacific to her new life in New Zealand where upgrading has continued in between use as a family #cruiser with the finest of #pedigrees.
