She was ordered from AH Moody and Son’s in 1978 by Neil McKinnon the Scottish owner of Drambuie whiskey. Built to order between 1969 and 1979 the run started off as a Carbineer 44 but was lengthened to become the 46 which allowed more headroom and a larger aft owners cabin. There were only ever 32 Carbineers built. These yachts were the pinnacle of quality, built to Lloyds 100A1 standard and designed by Laurent “Jack” Giles. The hulls were moulded by Marine Projects in GRP and were extremely heavily built. The yachts were then fitted out by Moodys using the finest teak and mahogany.

Re-plumbing.
