Abstract: Structures such as the shell of a boat are formed in a ferro-cement laminate composed of a fiber glass reinforced skin and ferro-cement with a coupling between the fiber glass layer and the ferro-cement that consists of fabric connector tapes that are bonded to the fiber glass and that have projecting wires which are secured to the armature wires of the ferro-cement. The structure is fabricated with the molding of the fiber glass skin with the connector tapes bonded thereto and the connector wires projecting therefrom. Thereafter, the ferro-cement armature is fitted within the molded shell and the connector wires secured thereto, and the cement is poured and shaped. An epoxy adhesive bonds wet cement to the cured fiber glass resin impregnant and armature wires and also fills any voids in the poured cement.
