| Samson Sailboats Can anyone please explain to me why Samson Sailboats are so inexpensive in comparison to their counterparts? Is there an inherant design flaw? Also, what are the hull, deck, etc. constructed of? Does anyone have experience with or knowledge of this particular type of sailboat. I appreciate your feedback. Thank You. Cwazy Wabbit...  |

| If you are refering to the Samson I know it is probably because they are made of ferro-cement. They are cheap because the market for them is poor. Most are poorly built and the material is not ideal to begin with but it is possible to build a good one...not fast but reliable. |

| Thank You for your input. I was referring to a listing in the "sailboat trader". It states; 1997 SAMSON, 55', fiberglass hull & deck prof. const. by designer, wood int., USCG doc., 100 hrs on hull & eng., $150K. |
