Hi Al, I suspect you mean the 'Ingrid', designed
by William Atkin. If I am right then I think the choice is fairly
simple. William Atkin did not design any boats for ferro-cement
construction, the Ingrid was designed around 1936 for construction
in wood. Unless you can track down the person who actually designed
the boat to be built in ferro-cement, and be fully confident
that he had the proper expertise and knowledge....then it's just
another amateur designed amateur built ferroboat ! If she has
a well documented and proven record, she might be worth consideration.
If not I would tend to steer clear of her. Regards
