Hi Steve, I am looking to buy a plan of a sailboat with between 38 & 40 feet with small draft (1.20 to 1.40 m). I know Hartley boats but I would like to contact other designers that have plans to be made in Ferrocement. Do you know any? Best Regards, Eduardo
Hi Eduardo: I don’t know of anyone doing Ferro boats these days. Our advice is to use a different material, of you are going to custom build. The hull is only 20% of the total cost and ferrocement is not a good material when you are aground. There’s a section on materials, and ferrocement in our Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia. Regards – Steve
