Thanks for all the feedback, gives me a place to start...We were told this after the boat was already in our posession, and in our hearts...so it did not increase our love for her, but it would be a nice tid-bit of info to pass onto visitors...if it were true...Most Formosa's I see have the square (rectangle) window on the sides of the cabin top but ours are the round porthole windows...if that is any indicator I don't know...the one in Kemah TX has the rectangle windows and the same carvings on the doors in the parlor...(I understand that each familiy that built these boats put "signiture" carvings in them...so all with sailboats carved on the doors were built by same family...I have seen some with Tigers or Lilly's carved on doors...but the one in Kemah had the boats just like Dream Chaser...so perhaps...????
