A lovely cruising legend... This Formosa 68 is a true blue water voyager. The island of Taiwan is historically known as Formosa, the name given by Portuguese sailors due to the beauty of its coasts. The island of Taiwan is also known as the home of the Formosa yachts. Formosa is a place name which comes from the Portuguese and is derived from the Latin word formosus, which means "beautiful" and the term is very suitable for this yacht. She has a very extensive upgrading and has had lots of new equipment installed.
