| is that they were built in a manner that meant that they had a very limited lifespan (teak decks over construction grade , wooden spars with casian adhesives, and iron ballast cast in concrete, poor quality , switches, . When my mother was in the oriental boat importing business, other Taiwanese boat builders used to go on at length about how Formosa's shoddy build quality was giving all of them a bad name. It is the poster child for what most people think of when they talk about poor oriental boat building.
Then there is the sailing ability which is notoriously poor as well.
These are for a reason. They make reasonable initial cost/ high cost liveaboards, unless someone has poured a fortune into one at which point they become cheap initial cost/ moderately high cost liveaboards.
So what is that you want to know?

As I understand it the Formosa version had some of the sailing characteristics of the Kelly Petersons but were substanially heavier and rift with build quality issues.

It seems like there were many issues with the boat, and they spent a lot of time in port fixing things (more than most) but they liked it. The things that stand out in my mind was the size of the large room, the easy motion at and the overall size of the thing which, in the end was too much for a couple and one child and, made me feel uncomfortable. I never saw them sail the boat - they always motored. | | | | | 07-08-2004, 08:02 | | Boat: Farr 11.6 (AKA Farr 38) Synergy
| , they imported and these boats in the States. In the course of developing a design, picking a yard to build that design, and supervising the construction of the boats that she also sold, she spent a lot of time in the yards in Taiwan. The boat building community is quite small and close knit and so designers, yard owners and managers would frequently hang out together during which there was very open conversations about the issues that each yard was living with. Within that circle of builders, the industry was a something of an open book. There were no salesmen involved. One of the frequent topics of conversation was how many of the yards had worked to improve the quality of the Taiwanese boats and yet they were getting branded as leaky teakies because of the poor quality boats coming out of a comparatively few yards at that time. Formosa was frequently cited as one of the poster for use of poor materials, shoddy workmanship where it counted and poor construction practices. This matched my mother and stepfather's opinion while touring the yard in the course of trying to sellect a yard to build a line of boats that they were developing at the time.
It sounds like someone has taken the time, and spent the to upgrade your boat and that is all well and good, but within the Taiwanese boat building community Formosa's were seen as the kind of boats that give Oriental boats a bad name.

| and others that didn't. The older pre 1980's were much thicker and stronger built using some of the better materials if you find a Overseas 51.
The boat is large and roomy, better than expected if you know how to sail it on the angle that Mr. garden intended it to sail. Upwind the bow angle pushes the bow back to windward thus giving the design a special way ahead of her time. They are very easy to overpower thus the popular rigg which keeps the small.
Formosa did make a lot of cheap boats over the years and I have even seen the sunday comics inside hulls instead of cloth.
You just have to look for the right yard in Taiwan that built it back then. The best way to tell is the "eyebrow" on the pilothouse version. some have a large eyebrow and some have a little dinky one. The large one is a overseas.

NATASHA was a real seagoing boat when they finished, and the of 5 did a 5-year Circle in her without any structural or other problems beyond the lousy decks.
Now...having said all that, she was l-o-n-g and she was HEAVY. She was unfit for crews that were small and/or inexperienced. Her times were not impressive for her length and crew size, and of course she was a - with all the assets and liabilities of a ketch. She was probably an ideal boat to be sailing in the Trades across the Pacific, Indian and up the South Atlantic, and to be taking around . But the was horribly unergonomic, the upkeep required was relentless, and the slip today would be breathtaking. None of these issues are mitigated by her unique, far better than most construction details.

I can provide lots more info on handling if need be. Angelique will sail in light or heavy air at half od the wind speed up to . 10Kts of wind = 5 Kts sailing speed. My boatwas built in 1978 and is very heavy. Built like a tank. All of the boats built years ago need and upgrade so why say Formosa is any worse than any other. The boat / any boat will only be as good as the care that has been taken of her. The boat you find or will only be as good as the work you do finding and surveying her. Go into a deal on any boat with your eyes open and not blinded by initial desire.
Angelique has had aprox $95,000 to $100,000 spent on upgrades and refurbishments. She isn,t done. Initial for an older boat in need of work may be $65,000 to $85,000 depending on condition. When in sail away condition they will sell for $160,000 and up. I would be glad to help you with any information or questions you have . I recomend though that you do your homework. Here are the boats I can recomend you look at. Formosa, Hardin, , and Vagabond. All fall into the Clipper realm.
