Stock #314701 - A rare beauty that has been nicely maintained and upgraded, ready! Purchased out of Panama, this World Class Formosa is ready for Bluewaters again. There were only 14 Formosa New Horizon 68 sailboats ever built. At 70 feet long with a 17' 4" beam, she's a big beautiful Ketch. This Formosa has a centerboard keel, which makes her very versatile for taking her where you want to go. With the centerboard up, she has a 5' draft, which deepens to 11' with the keel fully deployed. With 3 cabins and 3 heads, there are 2 showers and enough berths to sleep up to 10 passengers. There are 3 double berths and 4 single berths. The galley is well equipped to keep the crew fed, and the stove is run off propane.

With an 84' mast, the sail inventory includes the Main, a Staysail, Mizzen Sail, and a newer Yankee sail. All halyards have been updated with Dyneema. There are 12 winches on board, 2 of which are electric. Per the seller, The Ford Lehman 150 Turbo engine runs very well and is ready for longer voyages.

  • Description

Condition Built with a 3" thick hull, the Formosa New Horizon 68 was built with 3/4" Fiberglass on the exterior, with a layer of Airex foam sandwiched inside a 1/2" Fiberglass on the interior. She's built to take on any waters. A lot of work and upgrades have gone into the boat over the last few years, especially in 2022. The Teak decks were recently shaved, sanded, and caulked. And, the bowsprit and pulpit were rebuilt in 2022. The masthead was also rebuilt and the standing rigging was replaced in 2022. One Fuel tank was replaced with a 200-gallon Bladder, to increase the total fuel capacity to 325 Gallons. Other items replaced in 2022 are bilge pumps, 2 macerator pumps, 1 Inflow pump, the water pressure pump, a shower sump pump, a bathroom sink and the galley sink. There's a new dodger and bimini, both replaced in 2022, a new masthead in 2022 and the main mast was rewired in 2022. The boat was rewired with new components and electrical panels in 2019. If you're ready for new adventures on the high seas, this Formosa New Horizon deserves a good look. She'll clean up nicely for your next ocean voyages.

  • 68' Formosa

Last updated Dec 7, 2023

68' Formosa 1984

An extensive cosmetic refit is about 80% completed -- this is a perfect time for buyer to get involved with the functional refit decisions needed.

The interior pictures show the original protective plastic on all-new overhead panels.  Much of the interior trim remains to be done to complete the cosmetic refit - inexpensive here in Rio Dulce.  This Formosa is priced at about half of what it will justify when returned to safe, reliable cruising condition -- the reason is simply the additional cost of a functional refit after purchase.  A buyer will likely have $200k-$300k into this boat before long, but then can enjoy a beautiful yacht with new equipment of their choosing.  The average price for this size/age/style sailboat is near $300k -- and that is for one with generally average equipment, not new equipment of choice.  This can be considered a project boat, but one with excellent potential to justify consideration.  Write for more information and I'll send a list of potential deficiencies to correct.  All work can be done in Rio Dulce by skilled tradesmen, or complete a Stage One here for cosmetics and to make seaworthy before a Stage Two Stateside for completion of desired equipment upgrades.

This Huge Formosa is already conveniently located in one of the finest cruising areas possible: the pristine Western Caribbean!  Now safely tucked up the beautiful Rio Dulce in Guatemala for hurricane season, same-day cruising from the Rio can have you snorkeling or diving the world’s 2nd largest barrier reef – Belize it!  Or, it’s just an overnighter away to experience the Bay Islands of Honduras (Utila, Roatan, Guanaja).  Farther voyages can have you enjoying Mexico, Jamaica, Caymans, and Panama before returning to the Rio sanctuary year after year, as countless cruisers do.  Great Yacht, Great Location… it’s time to have fun!!

Review of Formosa 47

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The boat is equipped with 11 berths.

Unknown keel type

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.25 - 2.35 meter (7.38 - 7.68 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Formosa 47 is 1.80, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Formosa 47 is about 409 kg/cm, alternatively 2290 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 409 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 2290 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 21.88

Moscow Mule

Liquor.com has been serving drinks enthusiasts and industry professionals since 2009. Our writers are some of the most respected in the industry, and our recipes are contributed by bartenders who form a veritable "Who's Who" of the cocktail world.

The Moscow Mule is a classic combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime. Known for it's iconic copper mug, the drink's enduring popularity has left it as a mainstay in bars since the mid-20th century. Despite its name, the Moscow Mule was actually invented in Los Angeles as part of an early stateside marketing push for vodka, and the drink itself is considered an example of the Buck family of drinks—those that include a spirit with citrus and ginger beer.

The History of the Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is a mid-century classic that was born in 1941 and helped contribute to vodka’s rise in America. As the legend goes , it was concocted by two men. John Martin needed to sell Smirnoff vodka, a new and generally unknown spirit during the middle of the 20th century that his distribution company had recently purchased. Another man, bar owner Jack Morgan, wanted to deplete the stash of ginger beer taking up space at his Cock ‘n’ Bull pub. They decided to combine the two ingredients with a little lime, and the rest is history. (Though there is a conflicting origin story that says that a bartender by the name of Wes Price was the true originator of the cocktail’s recipe.)

The origin of the Moscow Mule mug is slightly less clear, though evidence points to the connection originating with a Russian woman named Sophie Berezinski, who's father owned copper factory called Moscow Copper Co. Allegedly, poor sales in their home country left the younger Berezinski to travel to the U.S. to find new buyers.

As historian David Wondrich observes, the copper mugs reached Cock 'n' Bull and were used to create a visually distinct presentation for the new cocktail, helped along by Martin who took Polaroid instant photos (then a recent invention) of Los Angeles bartenders and guests holding the copper mugs alongside bottles of Smirnoff. The photos were displayed throughout the bar and given to patrons to share, almost in the same vein as modern social media influencers. As the photos proliferated throughout the Los Angeles cocktail community, it helped to spur demand for the novel drink.

Regardless of how the drink was invented, the easygoing combination of vodka, spicy ginger and tart lime—all packaged neatly in an eye-catching mug—was a hit. More than a quarter century later, the Moscow Mule remains a star. It has even spawned variations, like the Mezcal Mule with mezcal and the Kentucky Mule with bourbon.

Why the Moscow Mule Works

The simple cocktail combines vodka with ginger beer and fresh lime juice. It’s a no-tools-required drink that is built right in that shiny copper mug. Of course, while said mug is always preferred for serving, it’s not essential and shouldn’t deter you from making a Moscow Mule. The drink tastes great no matter the receptacle. So if a highball glass or rocks glass is all you have on hand, don’t fret.

Any preferred vodka will work nicely in the mule, but high-quality ginger beer is a must. You want a top-notch option that and offers enough of a spicy bite to complement the liquor and lime. And keep that bottle cold before you employ it your Moscow Mule. Cold keeps the bubbles brisk and helps stall dilution when you mix all the drink’s ingredients.

This recipe brings the legendary drink up to date while remaining true to its refreshing roots. At its core, the Moscow Mule is deceptively simple and incredibly easy to mix, perfect for any season.

Ingredients

2 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce lime juice , freshly squeezed

3 ounces ginger beer , chilled

Garnish: lime wheel

Fill a Moscow Mule mug (or highball glass) with ice, then add the vodka and lime juice.

Top with the ginger beer.

Garnish with a lime wheel.

What If I Don’t Have a Copper Mug?

No doubt about it: The textured copper mug is a gorgeous part of a classic Moscow Mule. Truth is, it’s less the copper that matters than the conductivity of copper as a type of metal. So, blasphemous as it may appear, a Julep cup—or any other metal container—is a delightful substitute. Because you’ll still get that frosty, deeply cold result.
