Socorro
Description
The Socorro is a ferrocement (ferro-cement) sloop-rigged cruising sailboat based on the Sampson hull design (a popular home-build or custom ferrocement series from the 1970s-1980s era, often DIY or semi-custom built for bluewater capability). This "Socorro" model/variant is a 35-foot (approximately 10.67 m) LOA design, with ferrocement construction for durability and low maintenance (common in that period for offshore cruisers). It's rigged as a sloop, with an approximate displacement of around 20,000 lbs (9,072 kg), making it a heavy, stable displacement cruiser suited for long passages rather than high-performance racing.
