Formosa 51

MARGARITA has been the epitome of 'a labour of love'. Her owner has transformed the yacht, bringing this Formosa into the 21st century. What started as a minor refit became a huge affair amounting to some 18,000 labour hours between 2011 and 2015. The yacht had her whole interior removed and most joinery is new including all deckheads and soles. New tanks were installed, new 30mm foam insulation from the waterline up, the aft deck was raised by 40cm to increase the headroom in the aft cabin. Teak, Mahogany and Spruce woods were imported from Burma, Papua New Guinea, Africa and Sweden. Ornate carvings are abundant. A new engine was installed, a long stroke, high torque JCB engine was chosen and has proved to have been an excellent choice. The 4 blade WEST MEKAN propeller is a controllable pitch prop.

On deck you will note a solid stainless steel guardrail, deck prisms, butterfly hatches, belaying pins and other great cruising features. The helm and adjacent table and seating is beautiful. A good array of up to date navigation aids, brand new sails, the yacht is a very ready prospect for the long range sailor.

Entering the yacht into the raised saloon you have a well organised galley to starboard with a new dining table and seating to port. The aft cabin is beautiful and the new headroom has transformed this cabin. The en suite is also lavishly crafted. All lighting throughout the yacht is touch sensitive LED with extra accent lighting and red night lighting.

Full forward is the large forepeak cabin with another beautiful en suite bathroom. There is a small berth opposite the forward bathroom and would make a suitable cabin for children.

All new soft furnishings and high quality cushions and mattresses throughout. There is a new 240VAC washer / dryer.

For entertainment there is a 240 watt TV and stereo system with surround sound in the saloon and owner's aft cabin. An internet connection via Wifi. Up top in the aft table area there is an 800 watt JLB waterproof stereo system with 5 speakers.

Two hot and cold showers. All new plumbing and waste water direct to holding tanks.
