N1308 and N1284 were ordered at the same time by two members of the Cowal Holy Loch S.C., Jack Carsewell and Bill Morgan. They were Jack Holt designed and built glued clinker hulls, among the first group of the glued boats to come into Scotland. Cotton sails were still the norm at that time and both boats were so equipped. Terylene had just come along but was about twice the price.
