MacAlister Carvall were based in Lymington in the 1970s and early 80s, building a range of boats in ferrocement. Whilst most of the boats they built were fishing boats, they did build a number of yachts.
Professionally built ferrocement boats virtually ceased to be built in the 1980s, as the advantages of very high strength and low long-term maintenance from relatively cheap materials was outweighed by high labour costs. It was the labour-intensive nature of the build process that ended most ferro hull construction, not any defect in the material itself.
In recent years the entire wooden deck and coachroof has been renewed, with marine ply over laminated deck beams |

used only for stowage
Below: The Yanmar diesel was given a total overhaul and rebuild
by
Yanmar agents Cellar Marine in 2006, and has run relatively few hours
since then.

The actual hull length is approximately
33' 6", with bowsprit and rudder and stern platform extending
the overall length to about 39 ft. The hull is unusually fair for
a ferro yacht, indicating a high quality original build, as does
the use of weldmesh instead of chicken wire in the armature.

A good ferrocement hull is incredibly strong, and probably
the lowest maintenance material in existence for a yacht hull. This yacht needs some external cleaning, varnishing
and painting, but offers a lot of boat for the money.
