She was one of the XL400 class designed by Clelands. Watsons had a one off contract built by them in the early 1960s and when the yard were looking for a template for the design they chose her earlier sister ship. Owners that bought into the design were Tower Shipping, Everards and Eggar Forrest.
I was told the prototype vessel paid for herself very quickly but when Watsons came back to the yard in 1970 Clelands had a full order book so the order was subcontracted out to Cooks.
