Comments

One of the last yachts from the original Formosa yard, an exceptionally sea worthy vessel with a respectable turn of speed.

Over the years we have constantly modified and up dated her resulting in her turning heads wherever we have been, she has even been used in films and for wedding photo back drops.

At the end of this liveaboard period over 2 years she was completely overhauled in Cyprus 2004-2006 which included all equipment, rigging replaced, topsides awl grip spray painted, underwater osmosis treated, forward cabins re-configured, interior re-varnished.

Since 2005 she has been lightly cruised in the Eastern Med, hauled and anti-fouled annually.

British Registered & VAT paid.  The completion of a successful purchase with arrangement and separate payment can take place in the EU to keep the VAT paid status.
