What I realy want is something as pretty, sexi, traditional etc but built ANYWHERE in the world apart from the far east.
Having said that, the woodwork in the Formosas is gorgeous, as is the design but im just so worried about buying a moneypit thats going to cost far more in time and money than i can afford.
I guess Its all down to a surveyors report but if he misses something then im stuck.

Ive found a 41 here in the UK, now UK registered but ex Panama and she has wooden masts.
