Designed by renowned naval architect William Garden and built by Taiwan's Formosa Yachts starting in 1974, this substantial cruising sailboat exemplifies the era's emphasis on seaworthiness and comfort over speed. The masthead sloop rig configuration and traditional long keel design create a stable, predictable sailing platform that inspires confidence in challenging conditions. With a displacement of 28,000 pounds and a comfort ratio of 42.96, this yacht prioritizes offshore capability and crew comfort during extended passages. The long keel provides excellent directional stability and protects the rudder, though it sacrifices some maneuverability in tight quarters. The capsize screening formula of 1.58 indicates good stability characteristics suitable for ocean voyaging. Garden's design philosophy shines through in the boat's conservative proportions and robust construction. The fiberglass hull construction by Formosa Yachts, known for their solid craftsmanship during this period, has proven durable over decades. While the sail area to displacement ratio of 13.4 suggests moderate performance in light air, the design excels in heavier weather where its substantial build and forgiving handling characteristics become valuable assets. This yacht appeals to serious cruising sailors seeking a proven offshore platform with traditional sailing qualities and the security that comes with William Garden's respected design heritage.
