The Formosa 46 Ketch, built in 1982, is a beautifully crafted sailboat with a sturdy gel-coated hull and an upper structure made of teak and plywood, complemented by two wooden masts. This vessel is equipped with a variety of sails, including a fully battened mainsail from 2016, a roller genoa from 2022, a storm jib from 2016, a mizzen sail from 2016, and a gennaker from 2013 which has been barely used.
Inside, the boat accommodates six berths and has two cabins: one double and one single, along with additional sleeping space in the salon. There are two heads on board, one electric and one manual.
Recent upgrades include a new bimini added in 2023 and four solar panels, with two new ones installed in 2022. These panels are rated at 150W each and 55W each. The electrical system supports both 12V and 220V shore power and includes a Victron 30 Amp charger. The engine is a Mitsubishi Sole with 62 horsepower, installed in 2022, and has run for 909 hours as of July 2024. It features a new Volvo shaft drive and a three-blade propeller added in 2023.
The boat is equipped with a full set of Raymarine instruments, a Lowrance 7-inch color GPS-plotter, a Raymarine autopilot, and a Lofrans 1500W electric windlass with 70 meters of 10mm chain. Steering is managed with a single rudder, and there is a sound system with cockpit and interior speakers. An outboard Suzuki 4hp motor is also included.
Additional amenities and features include electric heating in the forward cabin, four batteries (installed in 2022) and two service batteries (installed in 2023), an EPIRB ACR with a new battery replaced in 2024, two refrigerators, a Furuno radar, and a full teak deck from the original build in 1982.
