Te Amo

Te Amo - a 1971 Formosa 41 Sea Tiger

Her History

Sailing Vessel Te Amo started its life in a form in Taiwan around 1970, was sold to an owner whom i’ve not been able to identified for sailing around the Pacific after being shipped to San Fransisco. From there the Lielands purchased her, taking her around the Pacific Loop. Later Mr. Foster acquired her, and slowly rebuilt her from the remnants of what he had to work with. Later it was with the ownership of Mr Haus, and more recently, Mr. Eakin.

She has sailed the pacific multiple times, blue water crossings, but not in the last 20 years. She is receiving all the love we can give and is, as her name declares, giving it all back as she goes further and further from the shelter of the harbor every time she goes out.
