Gaze upon the exquisite Thila, a grand 29-meter sailing yacht that blends seaborne elegance with high-performance craft. Delivered in 2009 by renowned Australian shipyard Steve Ward & Co, and designed by the esteemed Dubois Naval Architects, Thila’s allure is now available for the discerning eye to purchase.
Thila’s life began under the warm Australian sun. Commissioned by an acclaimed Olympic yachtsman, she was crafted in the lively city of Perth. The yacht’s external design is an artefact from the prestigious studios of Dubois Naval Architects, notable for their fashioning of aquatic masterpieces. The inviting interiors, the ingenious work of British studio Rhoades Young Design, complement the grandeur of the exterior perfectly.
Constructed with aluminium under the stringent guidelines of Lloyd’s class, Thila has received nothing but professional use and meticulous care. The pride of her halfway world journey, Thila stands tall at a stately €4,850,000 (VAT included).
