In 1980, the prominent New Zealand naval architect Alan Warwick founded Warwick Yacht Design in Auckland, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that would shape South Pacific bluewater cruising. At the heart of his early achievements was the Cardinal Series, with the Cardinal 46 serving as a hallmark performance cruiser. Introduced in 1985, the model was engineered to marry New Zealand's highspeed ocean racing philosophies with the opulent craftsmanship of Taiwanese shipyards, most notably Sen Koh Shipbuilding, Tania Yachts, and the respected King's Legend yard.
