Ma Cherie (Adi Cherie)

Ma Cherie was built by the Lane Motor Boat Co in 1962 for L.G. Foster of 4 Awatere Road, Hamilton. She measured 50’/14’6″/4′ and was powered with twin Ford 6 cylinder diesels. Her name was changed to Adi Kuila but owner Markham Thomson has done the right thing & gone back to the original.
You can find more details & photos on her past here   https://waitematawoodys.com/2014/08/22/adi-kuila/

Ma Cherie has just seen a major re-fit that included fiberglassed topsides, rot removed / rebuilt, rewired, starting/charging system upgraded, new interior, engines head jobs & new water tanks. She is looking very smart, in fact she even gets away with the hothouse up top, just the right height.
Details ex Harold Kidd.

  3. Absolutely beautiful, perfect balance & symmetry in her lines, (except for the “hothouse” on top, perhaps), but that can be removed probably, in a few minutes.
    It’s also great to have her “back home,” for us all to enjoy.
    Surely Lane Motor Boat Co could never have built a more perfect boat & really great to see her back to her original name, (the way it should be, in my view). KEN R
