1983 Formosa Spindrift 43

The Formosa Spindrift 43 is a Ron Amy-designed blue water cruiser built in 1983 by Ka Shing in Taiwan. She features a long keel hull, fiberglass construction, and a single Ford Lehman 80 hp diesel engine paired with full sail capability, rigged for short-handed operation. The combination of sail and power delivers efficient cruising performance suitable for extended offshore passages.

The spaces are described as roomy and well-ventilated. A single head serves the accommodation. The yacht is equipped with two Cruiser air and heat systems for climate control.

Engine hours total less than 1700, with a rebuild completed fewer than 500 hours ago. A 7.4 kW Westerbeke generator runs under 1700 hours. Fuel capacity stands at 300 gallons, fresh water at 235 gallons, and holding tank at 30 gallons. All lighting has been upgraded to LED bulbs. The yacht is set up and equipped for long-distance cruising.
