Launched in 2009 by Australian shipyard S.E. Ward & Co and designed by Dubois Naval Architects with interiors by Rhoades Young Design, the 29.1‑metre sailing yacht Thila blends performance with luxury. Comissioned by an experienced Olympic sailor, her aluminium hull and superstructure underpin a sleek, stylish profile suitable for both dynamic sailing and comfortable cruising. With three guest cabins accommodating six, and dedicated crew quarters for four, Thila offers an exclusive, intimate onboard experience. Following her acquisition in 2024, Thila was extensively optimised and upgraded with a significant number of technical and cosmetic upgrades. This meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive maintenance program ensures that she is now presented in turn-key condition, ready to charm a new owner with her sleek design and top- notch performance.
Unmistakeably Dubois with unmatched deckspace
Thila's exterior is designed with a family-friendly approach, offering a line-free cockpit lounge that serves as an ideal setting for dining and entertainment. This inviting space is shaded by a bimini and shielded from the breeze by a transparent screen forward. The cockpit features two opposing U-shaped banks of seating around tables, creating a convivial atmosphere for socializing. The companionway is offset to the port side, enhancing the flow of movement within the space. The aft deck of Thila provides ample sun lounging space, and its transom folds down, ingeniously creating a swim platform complete with a ladder for easy access to the water. When at anchor, additional sun lounging space is available between the winches, providing a tranquil spot for guests to soak up the sun while enjoying the serenity of the open sea.
Elegance, simplicity and functionality.
THILA's Rhoades Young interior is a showcase of elegance and comfort, beginning with a raised saloon that offers breathtaking panoramic views through large picture windows. This elevated space creates a light-filled and open atmosphere, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding beauty of the sea. The saloon features a formal dining area to port, providing an intimate setting for delightful meals, while seating to starboard adds to the overall sense of luxury and sophistication. Descending the steps from the raised saloon leads to a spacious second saloon, where guests can unwind and relax in style. To port, a TV lounge creates a cozy entertainment area, perfect for enjoying movies or catching up on the latest news. Large hull ports provide stunning views of the maritime surroundings, connecting the interior with the ever-changing scenery outside. She graciously accommodates six guests in three thoughtfully designed cabins, ensuring a comfortable and intimate stay on board. There is further scope room for two more guests to sleep onboard in the two pipe cots if required. The owner's suite, located aft and spanning the full beam of the yacht, epitomizes luxury with its spacious layout. Within this opulent sanctuary, the owner can enjoy a seating area to port, situated aft of the marble bathroom equipped with a shower, a vanity table, and ample storage space.
