Do You Have A Ferro?

[steve_h]

If you are thinking of a monohull for the Pacific islands, it may be worth considering a steel hull. These are cheap to repair and will take plenty of knocks etc. The charts for areas of the Pacific are not as accurate as your navigation systems which is how boats end up on reefs etc.
As Auzzee said, a plywood Wharram is a good choice. Ideal once again for the Pacific.
