Formosas are TANKS! The hulls on those things are not sandwiched foam core, but rather a couple of inches of solid resin and fiberglass. They're heavy, but really, really tough. And they just don't do interior wood work like that anymore. Fantastic find!! As for the varnish, it'll be a never-ending project if you continue to just use varnish. I would suggest using epoxy with a UV protective additive, sanding down to bare wood, laying down a few coats of straight epoxy and then coating with the UV additive. It'll take less time and will look like varnish, but it'll protect the wood better and it won't chip or peel when it gets wet. If it gets scuffed up, you can hit it with more epoxy and it'll be like new. More importantly, you won't spend your whole life chasing varnish issues, which means more time to enjoy the boat and where you're going. Bob Bitchin did this for his 56' Formosa, Lost Soul, and it apparently worked well. Just a thought. Best of luck! Can't wait to see her in the water!
Beautiful boat! I love the classic lines and old school craftsmanship. There was a day when I would have said you’re not up to the task of fixing this vessel, in fact I believe I did; however you proved me wrong. Today I think you are exactly the right person to take on this task.
You’ve come a long way. Best of luck.
This brought a little tear to my eye. Thank you very very much.
You impressed me the first time by getting your captain's license and then with the renovations of Moonlight and Little Miss but this is the brink of unicorn magical. I love the Formosa although the work on that wood is daunting, that old world charm is breathtaking. Can't wait for it to be under sail with some drone footage. You might actually pass Delos with the pirate ship concept and world class party boat. Pretty gutsy young lady. Hats off to you.
We know your feeling, my son and I! Having done the same in late 2019, acquired a dream boat such as yours, but power not sail, we go down to see her and just want to SCREEM we love her so much! We too 50 foot and 15 foot beam, puts us in the Yacht category's! The benefit being spacious living along with the seaworthy construction. Also, your Lone Star has such craftsmanship of the age-old day, we bet you go inside not being able to hold back your "Hoooooo Yaaaaaaahh' Screams of utter excitement. And as you walk away from her at the days end, you cannot stop stopping to turn to study her from every angle. . Most of my experience is sailing, but we ran across a Convertible Factory Customized for a European Market, or, built for the Atlantic she had dual systems. The passion many sailors had for the sea in the early days of shipping. Among my ancestors on my father's side was Captain John Smith, certainly he sails boats similar to yours with nothing but a chart, sexton and feather pen for his log entry's. I love the charts/navigation nostalgia too... All part of the incredible history of Sailing, right!
My favorite part was seeing you saying every part was your favorite. That’s how you know it’s for you! Looks great 🤙🏼
Well hot dog that’s the best Formosa I ever did see!!! Glad you got it!
Fiberglass the cap to the hull.
Re-build the chainplates.
Replace the stuffing box.
Re-bed the safety lines.
Re-bed the windows.
Re-bed the hatches.
Hatches can be pad locked!
Have fun!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Arrr she's a fine lassie cant wait to see the adventures, been following since the beginning. So proud of everything you have accomplished!
Amaizing, how you have grown throught the years, watched you from many years before with your very first boat....!! You really a true image of what anyone is capable of doing with your life, pat yourself on the back, and say well done to yourself!!!
I'm sooooo excited for you! I love your energy and attitude! I cant wait to see you sailing this beautiful boat!
Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad I've finally found someone who is youtubing on my dreamboat! Can't wait to follow the journey!
Welcome aboard!
She’s a beautiful Vessel, and I wish you the very best with her. You’ve done a spectacular job so far, and it’s rewarding to take on a task like this and watch her get better every day! I love these old style yachts, the woodwork is superb, and I can tell you that a lot of love went into this Vessel,so far! Love your restoration plans, I’m sure that you’ll accomplish this to the almost finish, because when you have something of this magnitude, you’re always gonna find something else that you WANT to do. Not because you must, but because you can!! You have the perfect attitude and mindset, and pure Determination for undertaking this restoration live-a-board, if that’s what you’re planning, I believe that I would! Best of everything for you on your quest! I Salute You!
Insane! Can’t wait to see it in action. I’m completing the purchase of my first sailboat, a Catalina 25. Gotta start somewhere! 👍🏼
Congratulations
Would definitely recommend that since your in the boatyard and the vberth is cut open that you install a bow thruster. You’ll thank yourself when your trying to get into a tight marina or slip in heavy winds
Very good recommendation!
Definately ! Agreed!
Yes indeed. All it costs is money. But some things are just worth it. Don’t know what you will have for crew, but an alternative if you have a good crew is to have a decent powered RIB with Say at least a 25 hp OB to use as a tug. And preferably a quick way to launch it eg davits. And engine at the ready. I have used this method successfully for quite a number of years. But definitely, thrusters far better. You have a massive vessel there with a lot of windage and a huge bow sprit!
Maneuvering in close quarters will definitely be one of your biggest challenges.
I would say bow thrusters are a must, I figure you are sailing this without crew so any sort of close in maneuvering is going to be treacherous without them. Especially with only one engine, I hope it goes well
Can you say bow thruster tunnel instillation failure. Why would you take a perfectly good Hull and retrofit a bow thruster where now you have a mechanical bond instead of a chemical bond.
It is far better to learn to handle your boat and work within its limits. We have a 53 foot Spencer Ketch that is single screw with no bow thruster. You learn to use prop walk to your advantage and if you are not single handed sailing you can have a crew member act as a tug with your rib and push the boat around if necessary.. Baring that use lots of fenders and don’t be bashful about asking the marina staff or other boaters at the dock to catch lines.
Her classic lines & old world decor has always set Formosa's apart from other sailing vessels. Personally, I believe every sailing vessel should have a bowsprit. The crew & myself were delivering a 48ft {@ waterline} International Offshore Racer from San Diego to the St.Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. Pegasus.... a Ron Holland design built in Cork, Ireland. Rounding Point Conception approx 20 nm off the California coast we encountered 30-40ft swells. Now this was my wilder young days, and after ingesting a dose of LSD.... I tethered myself off at the foremost tip of the bowsprit & rode the swells without visuals of the vessel behind me. A most enjoyable feeling, it was like flying a few feet above each swell & soaring into each trough.
Looking forward to observe your progress as you bring this beautiful sailing vessel into the bristol condition she deserves. SUBSCRIBED.
We are sitting around the galley table reading your comment, belly laughing. Please send us more stories of your wilder days
Scuba diving gets close to this. Flying wise. Part of the reason i dig it.
hahaha, crazy horse you was, dude, wow, what a stories you have :D
Thank you for coming back to us here on the free platform ! Beautiful Lady you have there !
Followed from video No.1, through all your adventures/adversaties. Glad to see you finally got a yacht you can globetrot in comfort, you deserve it for all your hard work and determinaton.
I love the window in the back above the bed, that has got to be my favorite part of the whole boat, really brings out the pirate vibes.🤣🤙
What a genuinely beautiful boat! Can't wait to see all of the fun everyone will experience! Take Care
I have watched you from the very start. You have come through the dark valley on guts and willpower alone; proud of you. It will only get better from here on out. Great boat for a great gal. Kudos.
The yacht looks gorgeous. Good to see you back on youtube :)
Aub this is going to be a fun journey. I hope to come back to the USA to join again for a spell. Love the editing and filming on this and your humor is always a joy. The kids must be excited too! Until next time gorgeous!
My goodness..
LoL at 'couple leaks'... You literally Bought a Formosa AKA "Leaky Teaky"! The same boat used to film Captain Ron. They are Beautiful (slow) ships, awesome liveaboards, and I'm jealous! Congrats!
I have a very similar heater aboard, and they're very easy to light. It's something like an ounce of diesel poured in the bottom, wipe the container you used with a square of TP and toss it in, and then light it. Once the flame is going, turn on the fuel valve and you're good to go. It keeps the boat quite toasty in a Seattle winter. If it doesn't have a blower you might want one for windy winter nights though.
Love this video! Your boat reminds me SO much of the one my husband and I recently bought.
Congratulations to you!!! Cheers!
Hi, such an impressive find and in great shape. I imagine you have your work cut out for you. Enjoy the wine and God bless 🌜😎🌛
I keep expecting captain Ron to pop out when she opens some "storage" 🤣
When she was at the helm all I could think of was that movie.
"We have our trusty map, Ah don't lose that!"
Same! I was expecting to hear that was one of the boats used in making the movie!
Fine film. She would whip his but into shape in a heart beat!
Swob,,
The helm is definitely similar if not exactly the one from Captain Ron, but I think it was a bigger boat, probably around 60 feet. It was a ketch. I wonder how a Formosa sails. Definitely heavy displacement but likely comfortable.
That is an amazingly gorgeous source of non stop maintenance! Congrats! Its beautiful
I’m so happy for you. Quite the jump up from lil’ Miss. Looking forward to seeing where you take her. You’re an angel of the sea!
Thank you:))
You've got a beautiful ship there, I can't wait to see her in the water, god bless you all and good luck
Gorgeous boat! Welcome to WA. It finally got up to the high 70’s lol. Beautiful during Summer but you don’t want to be here Winter.
that does scare me a little. HOWEVER, Little Miss is quietly waiting for her Bahama tour when the season comes....
The warm glow of a refinery flare is beautiful at night!
What a beautiful ship! 🏝🏖🏞⛵👍
Washington actually has pretty mild winters for being a state on the U.S./ Canadian border
Beautiful ship...love it. Can't wait to see final product...Stunning!!
I'm new here, and just catching up with you from around the lightning incident. Fascinating story! I've subscribed, and look forward to seeing the Formosa develop. What a boat! I am sure you and the family (and Freya) will love her. Good luck!
Wooowww beautiful boat !!! I’m in love with it , is amazing and is perfect for you and your adventures !!! Please can you tell which year model is and which is the price of the boat ?? Thank you , looking for your next videos and please be safe !!!
Beautiful boat, love the wood carvings on the doors, I do that for a living. It's what sets a ship apart from all other boats, I suggest humbly a bow thruster, a water maker, auto pilot, & air conditioning.
Once she's completed send pictures out to some Hollywood studios, you may pay for your ship, by leasing her out for movie productions. She is a unusual ship indeed, that's what sets her apart, from the run of the mill sailing ships these days. Plus one more thing a sculptured figure on the bow, just like the old days, pirates used a figure of a beautiful woman, with long flowing hair, again a humble suggestion. A three dimensional sculpture.
Nevertheless you are setting on a sailor's dream.
Blessings to you & your family
That's a beautiful boat and in not to bad a shape, spent over 30 years at sea fishing (skipper) and now offshore work and would love a boat like that. not long found your channel but will follow the refit of this one, all the best from England and good luck with the refit.
Oh she's beautiful! Practical suggestion: do the wood work in weekly sections to keep from getting burned out on it.
"you know, all you have to do to make it look really good is just clean up the wood".
"mom, it's all wood..."
Same Boat from Captain Ron!!!
This is gonna be fun. Right kittie!!
HAHAHA.. I have telling everyone they have to call me kitty. Captain Kitty
Redemption nothing to worry about just a bit of dry rot.
@@juanfangio3590 every boat has that.
If something is gonna happen, it’s gonna happen out there 😎
@@simplistiksoftware It's ok boss, it's above the waterline.
Congrats on the new Formosa 51, Great boats, no two are alike and they are long lasting. You are going to want to check into the FB groups for info on these as us owners share lots of refit and upgrade info. We just finished a full rebuild of the engine and most all the systems on our F50. Ck out Formosa 51 / Force 50 and Leaky Teaky..
That’s a beautiful boat you got, I love the wood decor. Congrats and look forward to seeing you sail it.
Beautiful and Nastolgic looking, the handsome carvings on the doors and the body of your yacht is amazing. After all is done will you install solar panels for the instruments .
That is one whole lot of boat you have bought there. Have fun girl.
Thank you so much! I will
How much you paid for it. That's one beautiful, gorgeous sailboat. I'll help you fix it and sail around the world. ⛵⚓🤙🏄🏻♂️🌊🍾🥂😘
Fantastic, superb, wow, nicely done. Congratulations, you've worked so hard to get to this point can't wait to see your progress. Envious! Get your heatgun, sandpaper and vanish going and she'll be amazing.
Wishing you all the luck in the World with your new adventure and cant wait to see you transform this boat back to her former beauty.....xx
A beautiful vessel, will need lots of love and care, depending on how oily the vanish wood is, you might be better off applying epoxy resin instead of varnish on outside wood areas. The Samson post on the bow deck looks actually more like what is known as a knights head.
Thanks for the tip!
@@SailingMissLoneStar Epoxy resin = Once in a blue moon a nightmare, Wood oil = hardly any work weekly, International Woodskin = Very little work 2 times a year. You choose your poison :-)
Great yacht.
great vessel, Be prepared to spend more time on the bright work than you planned on, to get your varnish work done 😆 ✌️
Sweet sailing yacht-you are something else to tackle this project-love your enthusiasm-will be watching your progress with much anticipation
Outstanding, I myself am also buying a 51' Taiwan built sailboat, close in 2-3 weeks and can't wait!!!. It's in very similar condition as yours, maybe just a little further along. It does still have the teak decks which were redone just two years ago (kinda love hate for me, love the look but worried about the future work). Congratulations to you and your family!
Just fallow your channel, just can't wait to see it sailing. It's a beautiful one enjoy it. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I’m a new subscriber after watching this! WOW!!! What a boat!! Also..... what was the name of the first song/artist? Great music!!!
Now that's a beautiful boat. Love the wood interiors...so cozy. Hope your refit goes quickly and smoothly so you can get back on the water soon! ⛵⚓🏝
We kept our sailboat in that town for 17 yrs and loved the area! Other than the cold season. Welcome!
Everybody's dream boat. Girl, your ship just came in!!
You going to need a tomato box to stand on at the inside helm station!
FurSure!
You got yourself a little piece of heaven. I'm so happy for you
Love your new boat. Mike is doing my new mast and rigging.
I'm just a little bit jealous right now. I've been trying to sell my home for a little over a year so that I can live the live aboard cruiser dream.
My fingers are crossed for you
Now... that is a sailboat! Congratulations. Head west young lady and remember “if you get lost... you can always pull over and ask directions!”🤣🤣🤣
Now that’s funny. Captain Ron was on a Formosa too!
@@glennroberts3069 It is not a one off?!
Voor Naam ????????????????? What???????????
@@voornaam3191 nope! Captain Ron used three different F. 51s for filming (the one at the dock that was listing, the first one they sailed that was rough, and the "after the wood got some love" that is still sailing around in... Texas... Miss Lonestar... It's this THE boat, or just one of the boats? Anyone know?
I just happened upon your channel. Ive been researching truck campers for a 12 month road trip and RUclips evidently thought I needed to see this. I won't argue with them, it looks like you have some epic adventures in store!, and cant wait to see where they take you. Im a finish carpenter, so it's gonna be neat seeing you fix up the old girl too. In the meantime ill check out some of your older vids!
That is SUPER cool! Welcome:))) Campers are a hot item right now with the Covid thing going on. My mom just went out and bought one to come and visit. Do some "land-sailing" Cheers!!
I'm not normally a fan of boat tours, but that is such a beautiful vessel I really enjoyed the walk through. Thank you.
She’s absolutely beautiful the boat isn’t half bad either congrats
OK sweetheart, it's official, you're crazy. I love it.
"Cheers"
Michael
Compliment column
@@SailingMissLoneStar yes my dear, very impressive.
@@SailingMissLoneStar
You're beautiful
Gosh, what a nice ship! This is by far the nicest Formosa Ketch I've seen so far! Many have wooden mast but I want aluminum behind mast furling. This was an outstanding boat tour....thank you!
She is definitely a beauty!! And love the Butterfly hatch.. there are 2 of them on my 1982 Island Trader 38' Ketch.. they add so much character!!!
Very beautiful Aubrey! Where is she located now? I still own a boat in Washington near Port Orchard. I can't wait to see more! Maybe I'll have to fly out there and help
I am in Northern Washington
I'm just glad that "storage" isn't the drinking word
That's hilarious, every time Aubrey says storage you have to do a shot.
🤣
Beautiful old school lines!!!.. Can't wait to see her all cleaned up and varnished... And even more so can't wait to see her in the water with all of her rigging.... Got to let B have her part/input on how her lair will be done up... Even if it'll be a multipurpose /bunk room... That way she has he own space!!
Cruised with several of those though the years, they are great boats, very slow sailing, a ton of maintenance, especially the wood, but for living aboard, safety at sea, they are great, almost bought one years ago. There's some great stories about the ones on the west coast of California. We met a couple who had bought theirs in Socal, we met up with them down on Puerto Vallarta, they went on down and thought he canal and down the coast of Columbia, they were attacked by pirates who shot though their drop boards, finally left, they beat it back up to Mexico, we met again in the same marina, I saw the bullet holes, what an adventure, that boat was finally sold, can't Remember the name.
Beautiful yacht, I hope the hull is sound. Love the carvings on the doors must have taken ages to do.
It is!
I'eeeee Captain, she a fine sailing vessel! Sailing Miss Lone Star and Naughty Dogs, pirate ships of the Caribbean!
You bubble with excitement. Congratulations my Pirate Queen. I think you have a lot of work but I would happily wager on your ultimate success.
Have done alot of sanding on Formosas. It is a never ending process. Had very little on my Morgan Outisland and it still was a pain to maintain, but it is beautiful. Best of luck on your journey.
I really, really love her, especially the galley located in the pilot house. How is visibility from the aft helm? What are you going to name her?
Clay Farnet "The Pearl" ⏺ lol 😂
Beautiful! I've been looking at a Formosa 51 for a hot min but its 75k$$$ how much did you get yours for????
Ya I’m interested without rigging how much was the boat
She is a very beautiful ship. As you mentioned, she needs a little love, but she has so much character and charm.
I am SO happy for you. That boat is beautiful and it is huge! It is nice to see someone who has struggled and through hard word and determination, their dreams have come true.
That really means a lot. Thank you very very much
You got give the boys a view of the engine room
Come on girl.
I’m filming that RIGHT NOWW
Thank you for showing us everything you did show us 💘
Don’t forget to add the engine oil the ole ones like there oil...hehe.Capt n kitty 🐱
I'm fairly smitten? alas I left this channel 2 years ago.. next time I see her, she'l have a flotilla
@
Wow, very cool!
Love the stairs. Do they fold up somehow? 🙄
Suggestion: write down (spreadsheet?) the location of all spare parts as you find them. This will come in handy later.
The stair case will stay in the yard when we leave
@@SailingMissLoneStar The things like the staircase and the spare parts for example have a habit of being needed.
@@stephenhunter70 She's adding separate ladders for the cabins, but I'd throw it in a friend's barn so you have it when it comes time to sell.
@@wilfdarr Oh goody, thanks! Lol
an awsome little pirate ship love the state room lol great video keep up the good work and always may the winds be at your backs 🏴☠️
Congratulations it’s beautiful. Lots of love is needed always keep your crew working on something FYI. Have a blast. Make memories that will last forever. God bless you and all your crew that works for you captain! Xoxoxo
I have a Hudson 56 ketch , hudson went on his own and built after quitting Formosa
She's a beaut! And the boat isn't too bad looking either.
Cannot knock your enthusiasm and drive good luck hope everything goes to plan and you get across the pond and visit the UK safe sailing looking forward to your next vid
Awesome vid! This boat is all sic as hell! Nice work all the best with her 🤙
Captain Ron 1992 vessel !!!
:))
Quel magnifique bateau plein d’élégance et d’histoire sans parler du confort , j’attend la suite de la restauration avec impatience...
« So chic »
Congratulations on the new boat! She is a beauty!
"I like shiny" My wife and I own Northwest Tile and Stonecare. If you want that marble kitchen and dining table inlays honed and polished I'd love to make them shine for you! For trade for a cruise with my wife and I (and maybe our 4 kids with). We're in Poulsbo.
I think I'm in love and the girl is pretty good looking too LOL
Wow what an amazing Vessel, more like what a ship! Its very beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!
Sooooooo beautiful ! Can’t wait to see how you finish it and back on the water ,
Beautiful looking boat. Congratulations. Contact Bobby White @SailingDoodles. He has just done some new epoxy and varnish work on his boat and it looks stunning. Also his boat has a hydraulic rudder I believe and maybe he can pass on a few tips
Good Luck
Chris
Yes please email me about the hydraulics. misslonestaradventure@gmail.com
This "sailing" boat whom is very beautiful, looks like unfinished from shipyard, without rigging; I would even not be surprised if it has never sailed!
It looks like it was going through a restoration and never got it finished. That’s why the flooring, woodwork looks so good. What a seaworthy vessel she got herself.
WOW! Congratulations Aubrey. A stunning vessel, intelligent layout and so many beautiful features. So happy for you.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! What a great adventure! I owned and sailed a Formosa 51(Lady Midnight) for 8 years. Rig your mast for a spinnaker (no pole), tricky to sail but well worth the effort.
I struggle to get excited about the idea of children and animals on the boat but I would have liked to see the engine, which, judging by the prop is quite big. :-)
Netting on the life lines. Kids have been sailing around the world with their parents for 40+years, on boats a lot smaller than 51 feet.
ur find you will need a bow thruster, a full keel boat wont back
That is a great idea
I wonder if the torn out bow where the V-Berth was cut was an attempt to install a bow thruster. While it is torn out, it would be a good idea to add one.
Very happy for you mate you’ve come a long way from your early days you should be very proud of your self.
Fanx!!! I’m humbled pinching myself
Wow, just Wow... now that’s progress!! Really happy for you both
