Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

I'd do exactly as the PO suggests, at least in the first instance: just scrape and repaint. That'll do the job. Maybe next time (a couple of years?), if you still want, you could take it back and...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

Bill, you might also like to keep a lookout for the John Perry designed and built ferro Pinjara from the 1970s. He was Sydney-based.

There's a link to one below that needs heaps of work but it's...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

The C-Spray was a 34' LOA centreboard sloop, 11'6" beam and 3'9" draft (that would be board up of course). Samson did a 36 footer but that was a ketch. The C-Bird was a 37' sloop with a beam of 10'9"...

Okay, I offered you an easy way out of your humiliation but seems you don't have the sense to take it. Now for the evidence...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

Well, well, how things change. Ozskip has shown in the accompanying thread that Alan Wheeler way back in 2008 did indeed give you the correct lowdown on that vessel and that, in response, you wrote...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

I guess "stupid" must be me, given in earlier posts by CSY Man I was, in turn, "Sherlock" and "Einstein".

Regarding the rest of CSY Man's post, to me it's all reasonable and considered and...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

Well, thanks for the free diagnosis. I'll guess then I'll be off getting a shrink appointment first thing tomorrow. :whistling:

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

No, it's not a boat. It's a pic of damage to something made of reinforced concrete. It's simply not how ferro boats are constructed. Note there are close up and wide shots but nothing else to match...

Re: Ferro Cement Hulls ?

Seems no matter how often it's said, some people just can't get their head around the simple fact that resale price is a property of the purchase price.

My 42 footer by the late Sydney designer/builder John Perry (constructed 1978) is 3/4" (19mm) at the raw water thru hull. The total steel framework thickness (rods, mesh etc) would be 1/2", while the...

Re: repairing a hole in my ferro cement hull, pictures & details

Thanks for the super post and graphics Wolfaroo. I've posted previously about how logical and cheap ferro repairs are (haven't had the need to do it but have closely watched it done) but your post...
