Formosa 46
8 / 45 - score 59%
The Formosa 46 is a 45.0ft cutter designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Formosa Boat Building Co. Ltd. since 1978.
The Formosa 46 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly 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.
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.
