Lillian was built by Carey’s Boatbuilders in Picton to an extremely exacting standard and finished to a high-quality pleasure Launch standard. She is a very capable Passage Maker with offshore potential. Her Hull pedigree evolved from many Carey Vessels built for the New Zealand fishery.
Built for Gordon Abernethy of Blenheim: Lillian was 5th boat he had built and the 17th he had owned. She is named after his Mother-in-law, Gordon was an extremely experienced Mariner and ensured that the build was fastidious. He attended Carey’s Boat Yard in Picton on an almost daily basis during the build. Gordon retired from the Sea due to health problems and sold Lillian to her current owners in 2016.
Ray Beale surveyed her for the current owners in 2016 and observed that he ranked her in the top 5% of boats he surveyed in terms of build quality and strength.
There are some impressive boats in the market today but when I viewed this vessel for the first time I was stunned by the design and the build quality. The finish inside and out of this vessel is really incredible and a must to view to appreciate the finish and build quality. Its 18.25 m in length with a 5 m beam, fitted with a 650hp Scania, that only burns 12.8 litres at 8.3 knots and can achieve 17 knots. Accommodation for 6, in 3 cabins. An air-conditioned main cabin and with a superb Galley that has a large double-door fridge perfectly located with a freezer and ice maker. The helm station is so impressive with its angled and wrap-around glass, it is a great feature of the vessel and contributing to making the best helm station, with all the electronics at your fingertips including bow and stern thrusters to make maneuvering effortless and safe. This is a great seaboat that will always keep you safe. The vessel also has a spacious cockpit along with a stunning flybridge.
