Turn-key ocean cruiser, ready for her next adventure.

This Formosa 41 presents very well and has been maintained and kept in ready to cruise condition! Out of water maintenance performed in Nov 2023. Stepping into the saloon you are met with ample space including a well-equipped galley and a huge amount of living space… Moving forward you have a fully enclosed head, separate shower to port with a double cabin to starboard and a V berth cabin forward. This vessel is very well equipped for ocean cruising with good sails & rigging, plenty of 12v power, wind generator, vast electronics setup including autopilot and AIS. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2012 and has done only 1,300 hours since, making it very reliable. ‘Gadfly’ is a turn-key ocean cruiser, ready for her next adventure.
