Little big ship... Like from a fairy tale. Beautiful!!! 🤩 And the master is exactly the way a captain should look and speak... 😶‍🌫

What a wonderful design. This reminds me of some of the Benford design boats. I've never seen a more comforting interior on a boat.

[@fosterkennel649]

She looks like a Benford design to me also. Blessings to you and yours coming at you from the hills of Southern Oregon.

[@sanchezshots]

I always want the main cabin on the stern , like a galleon .Perfect boat por the PNW.

[@RameyFamily]

Yeah I agree. Have you ever seen the Sirius 40 ? It’s owner suit is center at the “bottom” It’s a very interesting design

[@RameyFamily]

I think so too!

[@johngriffiths118]

What an amazing bit of kit and what charming people , subbed

[@marekmarko2274]

This boat is only boat what I wouldn’t change anything on it. If I buy it I will leave everything like is. I am rebuilding mustang 3200 everything covered with vinyl- it’s called luxury at this era…. But this is very nice retro boat and I love the cabins. ❤

[@chiefsnarlsnortz1610]

Beautiful boat!

[@RameyFamily]

It sure is!

[@MrFroglips69]

A gorgeous sailboat, very groovy.

[@PaulStClair-or3gj]

Groovy?????!!

[@vicyoung559]

Lovely vessel and lovely owners. The title says a 'concrete ship' (presumably ferro cement) but your intro says 'handbuilt wooden ship'. I would like to know which it is and, if ferro, more on the build story from Dwayne & Dawna.

[@RameyFamily]

More on them and the ship being built and all the history with it publishes November 11th

[@RameyFamily]

And I was mistaken when I did my voice over It’s a concrete build not wooden

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

@@RameyFamily what an opportune meeting, being hosted by such a cool Salty, total gentleman.. Lets get his partner in the 2nd chapter.

[@RameyFamily]

It’s a really great story. It’s already been filmed, edited and schedule to post. They are a very one of a kind couple and quite possibly the nicest people I have ever come across in all my travels. If you turn on notifications here you’ll be sure to see it when it comes out. If you prefer not to be bothered by KZbin originations then just check back on November 11th 👍

[@sailingcapedissappointment2012]

I saw this boat parked behind me at the Rainer dock on the Columbia last month and I never even thought about it being Ferro ....

[@RameyFamily]

Last time I was at the Rainer dock I missed it going down wind lol

[@sailingcapedissappointment2012]

@@RameyFamily well really you didn't miss nuthin ....

[@RameyFamily]

@@sailingcapedissappointment2012 hahahahahaha It was just a one night stop but there was a good burrito there.

[@doorsetc4029]

When I was growing up in Southern California, I'm pretty sure the guy that designed those type of boats was a guy by the name of Pat Cotten. He had one just like that at the Marina we were at in the early 70s

[@RameyFamily]

Yes! Patrick cotton designed this boat.

[@jwrn4u]

That stoves a little close to that couch

[@noonenowhere6158]

Nice presentation. Interesting boat. Being from the Chesapeake Bay area I have to say that you're still butchering the pronunciation of Norfolk. Say it in your normal voice, but instead of pronouncing "folk" as it's spelled, say "f@*k". Seriously, that's how we say it. I live twenty minutes from Norfolk. We have good oysters also.

[@805gregg]

Concrete boats have too much weight in the hull to be able to sail well, and that design is atrocious, never sail anywhere motorsailer at best

[@StormSignal]

You are so FOS.🙄 A well built ferro sails as well as the design.

[@CaptRobH]

Be nice ! If that is the only thing you can say, than keep that to yourself. Nobody is waiting for this sort of comments. …. And, material is Part of the equation on what makes a good sailing boat, NOT the only factor.
