Formosa 41
8 / 21 - score 55%
The Formosa 41 is a 40.91ft masthead ketch designed by William Garden and built in fiberglass by Formosa Boat Building Co. Ltd. since 1972.
It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Formosa 41 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
