She was first commissioned in Boston, moved to Miami and was purchased by Kathy Edwards in 2006 and moved to Texas Traveling over the Gulf of Mexico for 8 days. Will and Julie Riordan are the 9th documented owners.  

The boat design is a William Garden creation! The documentation lists CH Lee as the master carpenter. Once the hull was built out of solid fiberglass a family of craftsman moved on the boat to finish out the interior. The Formosa sailing yachts are known for their ability to navigate and cruise around the world. She is stable and provides comfort to any age aboard her.
