Overview
About this vessel
"Soliloque of Searles" was designed by Capt William Bailey and built by R. T. Searles and Son in Birkenhead SA for the Penfold family, the famous wine makers from SA.
She was built on a "No Expense Spared" basis out of solid jarrah (hull nailed and roved) and beautiful teak inlaid decks.
The "Soliloque of Searles" has been very well maintained and significantly upgraded in recent years. She is well set up for easy cruising and features the following:
"Soliloque of Searles" would make a great boat for twilight racing, or to enjoy cruising the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and beyond.
This is stereotypical of some of the great timber yachts built in Australia, and presents an excellent opportunity to enjoy a vessel of this pedigree, capability and comfort.
"Soliloque of Searles" is located at the Kettering Marina, in front of the Kettering Yacht Club, approximately 30-40 mins south of the Hobart CBD.
