I'm not really au fait with ferrocement boats but is it possible that the fact it is so handsome is a feature which causes people to buy it without having fully researched and understood what a ferrocement boat is and the potential pitfalls. I'm pretty sure they are not all they are cracked up to be.

I'm pretty sure they are not all they are cracked up to be. I think a Big issue with ferro concrete boats are poorly built homemade boats. But I think the biggest problem is one of perception, boaters are a conservative bunch on the whole.

Doesn't look too exspensive if you get the pier as well.

vital Spark is that the one which was on telly years ago? If you read the Facebook thread the current owner explains. It's vic 72 the last commercially working puffer, he changed the name and registered it as vital spark the fictional puffer featured in the TV series. Here's away out of east London for you, just got to talk the misuses into moving to the western isles.

I was looking at that, it doesn't sail very well even if you got it going again. You would probably be better of putting wheels on it.
