5 / 23 - score 57%
The Formosa 44 is a 42.68ft masthead sloop designed by Ron Amy and built in fiberglass by Formosa Boat Building Co. Ltd. since 1983.
The Formosa 44 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. 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 excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
