My name is Rob Tison, I live aboard my 46' Benford "Vintage" which was built in Seattle in 1972-76. I like your website!
Bruce Sannino's 65ft 'Listener' (ex Vim) at Annapolis. Maryland. USA. Designed and built in England about 1970.
Nice to see a page for ferro-cement boats. I have a 38ft ferro trawler (Sheena 2), that was launched in 1975. Her hull was pressure tested at 9,000lb/sq.inch 28 days after she was built. That was 24 years ago and she has held up without any failure of any kind for that length of time. I will check back often to see how your page is developing. Mike & Sue Johnston. Smiths Falls, Ont., Canada.
A 40ft Alan Wright design
One of many built by the British in 1943, this ferro-cement barge moored on the Thames, has a house built on her deck. The hull now 70 years old is still in good condition, requiring nothing but cosmetic maintenance.
'Okiwa', a superb replica of Slocums 'Spray'.
'Dove', a double-ender from Canada. Seen in 1975 in Whangarei during her 1972-78 world circumnavigation. One of 10 liberty ships built in Canada during WW2, now used as a breakwater for the Powell River Pulp Mill in British Columbia. Photo taken during the winter of 1998 by Peter Freeman on a trip to Desolation Sound.
