About
NELEA is a 1980 Formosa 51, representing one of the finest examples of classic yacht design and continues to maintain her presence at sea with distinction. With her strong hull construction, spacious living areas, and traditional teak craftsmanship, NELEA offers not only a means of transportation but also a refined and secure onboard living experience.
NELEA is equipped with a ketch rig, featuring a main mast and a mizzen mast, providing balanced, flexible, and comfortable sailing performance under varying wind conditions. This rig configuration offers enhanced control and efficiency, particularly during long-distance and offshore passages.
Upon boarding from the aft, a wide and well-protected cockpit welcomes you. This area provides comfort during long passages while also serving as an ideal space to enjoy sunsets and social time onboard. The teak deck, fully renewed in recent years, preserves the vessel’s classic appearance while significantly enhancing both aesthetics and usability. Wide side decks ensure safe and easy movement around the vessel, while the spacious foredeck provides a pleasant relaxation area during anchorage. The addition of a bosun’s chair ladder further improves safe and convenient access to the water and boarding operations.
The sail inventory includes a newly replaced genoa and mizzen sail, improving sailing performance and overall efficiency. Following this upgrade, the lazybag systems, bimini top, and cockpit enclosures have also been renewed, significantly enhancing both sail handling convenience and onboard comfort under various weather conditions.
Below deck, a warm and welcoming atmosphere dominated by quality teak wood is present throughout. The spacious saloon serves as the social center of the yacht, featuring comfortable seating areas and a large dining table. Large windows allowing natural light, together with an efficient ventilation system, ensure a bright and airy interior environment throughout the day. A solid-fuel stove installed in the saloon provides a warm and cozy atmosphere during cooler conditions, while practical amenities such as a dishwasher further enhance onboard comfort, making NELEA suitable for extended living aboard.
NELEA’s master cabin (aft cabin) features an en-suite layout with a private bathroom equipped with a bathtub, offering maximum comfort and privacy during long passages. The forward cabin shares a bathroom with the saloon area, providing a practical and functional arrangement for daily use.
The galley, located adjacent to the saloon, is designed with long-term living and offshore cruising in mind. It offers generous workspace, ample storage, and fully equipped appliances, ensuring home-like comfort at sea.
Both forward and aft cabins provide comfortable accommodation for extended voyages. With generous berths, sufficient storage, and natural ventilation through portlights, each cabin offers a peaceful living environment. The layout is designed to ensure privacy for both crew and guests.
NELEA’s technical systems have also undergone significant upgrades. A new-generation lithium battery bank and high-efficiency solar panels have been installed, providing strong energy independence during extended anchorage and passages. Updated navigation electronics meet modern cruising requirements, while partially renewed electrical systems improve overall reliability and safety.
The engine has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, enhancing both reliability and performance, and providing the necessary mechanical assurance for long-distance cruising.
One of NELEA’s most defining characteristics is her behavior at sea. Her heavy displacement hull ensures safe and stable passage-making in offshore conditions. Designed for ocean passages, she delivers comfort and security on extended voyages, making her a true offshore-capable classic yacht.
NELEA is the owner’s second vessel and is actively used. She has been offered for sale in order to reduce the operational and maintenance burden of maintaining two yachts, and therefore is attractively priced compared to similar vessels on the market.
An important advantage of the sale is that the current mooring in Foça is included in the price. NELEA is currently located in Foça, and the new owner will have the option to continue keeping the vessel in the same location in the following years. Considering the increasing difficulty of securing quality berths today, this represents a significant added value.
With her timeless classic appearance, upgraded technical systems, modern energy solutions, and advantageous mooring arrangement, NELEA offers her next owner safe, comfortable, and enjoyable cruising for many years to come.
