Boat Description

This LLC-owned 1979 Formosa 51, a classic ocean home designed by the esteemed William Garden, is available with a transferable liveaboard slip in Marina del Rey. Renowned for its timeless design, the Formosa 51 embodies the spirit of bluewater adventure with its graceful lines and robust craftsmanship from Taiwan's prestigious Formosa yard. The yacht features a striking clipper bow and elegant sheerline that attract attention in any harbor. With a full-keel hull and balanced ketch rig, she offers sailors the stability and confidence needed for ocean crossings. Step inside to experience a warm, inviting atmosphere enriched by the scent of teak and the natural light of the salon. The aft master stateroom is a peaceful retreat, while the open salon and well-equipped galley are designed for extended voyages. Under sail, she moves gracefully, embodying tranquility on the water. The reliable Ford Lehman diesel engine ensures smooth travels when the winds are calm, and her ample storage allows for adventures far beyond the horizon. Ideal for those who see sailing as a lifestyle rather than just a sport, this Formosa 51 represents a unique blend of soul, strength, and history. Recent upgrades include new autopilot (needs calibration), bottom paint, hull paint, a new four-burner gas stove (not connected), plumbing, electrical systems, stainless countertops, new handrails, a custom mattress in the master cabin, new rigging lines, a new hydraulic steering pump, new helm seating, and an extended master bedroom. Some additional updates may be needed, including replacing the genoa furling and upgrading outdated electronics.
