[Rhodes22-list] Ferro cement

[Richard F Sheehan]

Ed;

All I could think of when you mentioned ferro-cement hulls was "Get out
your bell bottoms and let your sideburns grow down to your jowls!"

It was the "Next Big Thing" back in the '70s.  Thirty years later, it
doesn't seem so attractive.  The owners of the concrete ballasted R22s
can probably cite you chapter and verse why it isn't a very good thing.
