Solace II is Still Afloat


When I first moved to California, I lived aboard Solace II. A 58 ft British Channel Cutter christened on March 1901 in the Watty shipyard in Fowey, Cornwall. The yacht belonged to H. Glen Walker, LCDR USN (Ret.) who kindly allowed me to spend the summer nestled in the ancient timbers that lined her cabin.
Solace II is now owned by a family back in Cornwall where she was born. The Solace II story continues on their website http://www.solace2.net/
