Star Class Honoring the Past, Leading the Future
Boat builder Domenico “Meco” Lilla died last December 31st. Lillia built Stars, Snipes and Dinghies 12′. He was 81 years old.
His Stars are very famous, winners of numerous world and Olympic titles (in Athens 2004 the whole podium had Star Lillia).
Most recently the Lillia yard collaborated with Juan Kouyoumdjian for the most recent update to the Lillia Star hull. In addition, his collaboration with Torben Grael is very well known, both for the Stars and for the Snipes. The first model of the Snipe built by Lillia, in Musso, Lake Como, Italy, was a derivation of the boat used by Torben.
The boatyard has been led, for some years now, by Stefano, his son.
