Boat Description

This LLC-owned 1979 Formosa 51, designed by the renowned William Garden, offers a captivating blend of classic craftsmanship and modern comfort. With a transferable liveaboard slip in Marina del Rey, this timeless ocean home is in good overall condition. The Formosa 51 is not just a yacht; it's a vessel that embodies the spirit of bluewater exploration, featuring elegant lines and a graceful profile that turn heads in every harbor. Built in the esteemed Formosa yard, her teak and mahogany construction reflects a commitment to quality that is rarely seen today. The ketch's full-keel hull and balanced rig provide the stability and performance sailors crave for ocean crossings. Onboard, the warm aroma of teak welcomes you into a spacious salon filled with natural light, while the aft master stateroom offers a tranquil retreat. The well-equipped galley is perfect for long voyages, and every inch of this yacht speaks of adventures past and those yet to come. Under sail, she glides smoothly across the water, her Ford Lehman diesel engine providing reliable power when the winds are calm. With ample tankage and storage for extended journeys, the Formosa 51 is designed for those who see sailing as a lifestyle rather than just a pastime. This yacht features a new autopilot (calibration needed), fresh bottom and hull paint, a new unconnected four-burner gas stove, updated plumbing and electrical systems, stainless steel countertops, new handrails, a custom mattress in the master cabin, new rigging lines, a new hydraulic steering pump, and new helm seating. The master bedroom is in the process of being extended, and the genoa furling requires replacement. While the existing electronics are functional, they could be updated for modern use. This Formosa 51 is not just a boat; it's an invitation to embrace a different way of living.
