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 (famous wine makers from SA).
She was built on a "no expense spared" basis, out of solid Jarrah (hull nail and roved), with 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.
Note: The marina berth at Kettering, TAS, could be sold as a separate negotiation if interested.
"Soliloque of Searles" would make a great boat for twilight racing or to enjoy cruising the D'entrecasteau 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), which is approximately 30–40 minutes south of the Hobart CBD.
