Great stuff Peter. I have seen your Queen Tara before and had no idea it was constructed like that, I thought the hull was wood. And fantastic comeback to those who thought that concrete can't float!
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Couple Burn Down Their Boat in an Argument
Thanks John, i think the only reason more boats are not made from ferro cement is the cost in man hours,its very labor intensive,and not suited to be built in places having high incomes,but for se asia it makes sense,for larger boats at least,but we had to do this in house,using our existing builders and hiring extra labor,as all the boat builders we approached said it would not work,or quoted me a silly figure,Timber is very expensive now and hard to source, we recently built another boat last year using Koki Timber,was a much smaller boat,at 60 ft but can carry 50 people the costs where huge in materials alone, with timber prices now you better off going steel,but with both steel and timber the maint is an ongoing problem,with ferro cement the material actually gets stronger over time,it will still be floating in 100 years without any maint to the haul,
