Hey Port, you are doing well. I have a cousin who started building a 55 ft Samson Sea Strutter ferro cement yacht in ...let's see...about 1980 when we got our first boat, a Tasman 20 trailer yacht...we are into our 5th boat since then...but his yacht, sadly, is still sitting in a yard behind where he lived and unfinished. Did a beautiful job of the basic hull - maybe didn't quite account for the fact the fitting out is the same cost, no matter what is saved on the hull. Does that make your 5 years seem just a mere click of the fingers..?
