1988 Custom Ferro-Cement Sailboat – Built to Cross Oceans, Not Just Marinas
If you’re looking for a serious cruising sailboat built in an era when boats were engineered for strength and self-sufficiency, this 1988 custom-built ferro-cement sailboat deserves your attention.
Purpose-built and professionally constructed, this vessel features a ferro-cement hull known for exceptional durability, impact resistance, and quiet motion at sea. Unlike production boats, this is a one-off design created with long-range cruising, safety, and longevity in mind—perfect for bluewater passagemaking or a robust liveaboard platform.
The heavy-displacement hull delivers a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride in all conditions, while the custom interior offers practical systems access, generous storage, and a layout designed for extended time aboard. Ferro-cement boats of this era have proven themselves worldwide, prized by experienced sailors for their strength, low maintenance, and resistance to corrosion, rot, and osmosis.
This is a vessel for sailors who value substance over shine, engineering over marketing, and the freedom to roam without worrying about fragile construction.
Highlights:
Custom-built 1988 ferro-cement sailboat
Exceptionally strong, quiet, and seaworthy hull
Heavy-displacement design for offshore comfort
Ideal for bluewater cruising or full-time liveaboard use
Proven construction method with global cruising pedigree
If you’re searching for a capable, honest sailboat built to go the distance—and not another dock queen—this unique cruiser is ready for its next adventure.
