SV Blue Dolphin
Bruce Roberts* Custom Designed 55' Water Line & 58' LOA Ketch
*Reported to be by Broker & previous owners as the Naval Architect has never sold plans for a ferro boat. My guess is that the plans were purchased by original owner & adapted to a ferro design as most Bruce Robert designs are either fiberglass or steel.
FOR SALE
This is the survery ordered by my wife Kathleen Rae @ the time of purchase, Page 1.
Here are copies of the survery we received when we bought the boat in 2006.

Here is a photo of the boat under construction showing the steel applied over the steel frames. Mesh was applied over this to accommodate the application of the ferro cement.See notes in survey above for detail description of steel used. As I have mention before this boat was not built in a backyard but in a boat yard in Los Angeles.Some of the components in this survey have been replaced and updated as reported in list in previous pages.
