Thumbs down 'Ferro-cement Boats' by Colin Brookes

Checked out FerroBoats.com lately? Trying to order a book just goes to the home page. Amazon does not have any of the following. SInce I am in Asia where cement and excellent plasters are cheap and labor pools for steel or wood or fiberglass are not cheap, I want to read up. Anyone have a copy they can part with or lend? Will consider other titles as well.

'Ferro-cement Boats'

by Colin Brookes mSNAME. advIFIC.
The newest and most concise book on ferro-cement boats. covers....history, design, building, repair, ferro-sheathing etc
For price and ordering <click here and get redirected to our home page that you came from! >

Thanks!

PS: Please, no diatribes why you think it is not a good material, ok? Good or bad, it works for what I want.

Re: 'Ferro-cement Boats' by Colin Brookes

Question: If you were to work full time on it - like a 40 hr week, how long would it take to build a 40' Hull and is the coach roof and everything ferro or just the hull?

Every so often I see one come up for sale and was just wondering.
Thanks in advance.

Sure, I can chat about that. Send me a private email since this thread is about the book.
