A recent issue of MAIB had a good-looking ferro-cement sailboat (about
45'?) - unfinished, no rigging, think there was a motor. In the water,
reportedly well-built and rock-solid. Offered by a reputable small-boat
builder, in Virginia.

Looked like a good project; the price was right. I'll try to dig up the
info, if anybody's interested...
==========================

It is my understanfing that ferro-cement boats are essentially
uninsurable. I've only seen one that was actually afloat. It is 60+
feet long and has an 8 ft draft. Not exactly a gunk holer.
