Built during Taiwan's golden era of fiberglass yacht construction, this substantial cruising sailboat represents the practical offshore philosophy that made Formosa yachts highly regarded among serious cruising sailors. With her robust construction and traditional full-keel design, she embodies the "go anywhere" mentality that defined the brand throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The design prioritizes seaworthiness and comfort over racing performance, making her well-suited for extended offshore passages and live-aboard cruising. Her heavy displacement hull provides the stability and load-carrying capacity that long-distance cruisers demand, while the generous beam creates spacious accommodations below deck. The traditional keel configuration offers excellent tracking and directional stability in challenging conditions. While not a speed demon by modern standards, this yacht's strength lies in her ability to handle heavy weather with confidence. The solid fiberglass construction typical of Formosa builds has proven durable over decades, with many examples still actively cruising worldwide. Her reputation centers on reliability and comfort rather than performance, making her an appealing choice for sailors prioritizing safety and livability over speed.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
