The Formosa Yachts 51 is a William Garden-designed staysail ketch with a long keel, built from 1972 to 1984 by Formosa Yachts and Formosa Boat Building Co. Ltd. This 15.5-meter (51-foot) vessel displaces 23,586 kg and served as the basis for other production yachts like the Hudson Force 50. Aboard *Sailing Miss Lone Star*, the 1977 Formosa 51 *Houdini* underwent a major refit, including replacing the main mast's keel-stepped plate with an adjustable Selden unit and installing Lewmar self-tailing winches.se The crew addressed a bowsprit rigging error where kronziron tabs were incorrectly placed, requiring custom sleeves for alignment.2:26 They also inverted the bow roller assembly to prevent chain damage to the cap rail.14:21 Engine issues included a dead starting battery, a low oil pressure alarm attributed to a faulty sensor, and an accidental engine shutdown due to a silenced fuel alarm, which required bleeding the engine and polishing fuel.12:00 The crew performed an oil change, tightened a leaking stuffing box, and installed a new inspection hatch on a fuel tank, plumbing it into the Racor filtration system.12:15 They sailed *Houdini* on a 100-mile overnight passage from Ensenada to Santa Maria Bay, encountering consistent beating conditions, and later transited from Golfito, Costa Rica, to Panama, maintaining 5.8 knots.1:24
