Full Details
SELLER IS LOOKING FOR OFFERS.
The materials down below reflect the thought that went into the design of this Formosa 47, with warm, carefully built cabinetry, drawers and teak and holly sole below, with an eye for detail. This will make a great blue water cruiser, live aboard, or perhaps a great charter vessel.
She is on the hard, and sold to the current owners 2 years ago. The price recognizes that the engine needs to be rebuilt.
This Formosa has solid decks. No leaky teaky. All pictures taken after those of the hull and rudder were taken mid June 2024.
In those past 2 years the new owners had a number of upgrades performed, planning to do some extensive cruising. Health issues have changed their plans, and this wonderful blue water yacht is back on the market.
