The yard designer, James Evans, took inspiration from the well proven Scottish fishing boats which had worked the rough waters of the North Sea for many years and designed a motor yacht with the characteristic seaworthy lines but altered to make an excellent private yacht with good sea keeping capability, large volume, good sized cabins and masses of headroom.
The Inchcape was built in a number of different sizes but the 45′ was the most popular as a compromise between size and manageability.
