Conway Fife One Design

In 1926 Messrs. W. and R.B. Fife of Fairlie were asked to draw up plans for a new class suitable for the waters of the Conway estuary and Menai Strait. The waterline length to be limited to 16ft. and the maximum draught to 3ft.- 3ins. This was done; the length overall being 24ft.- 4ins., with a beam of 6ft- 6ins. and an 18cwt. lead keel.
Fifteen were built by Messrs. A.M. Dickie & Sons of Bangor, and all but one are still in existence. In 1933 the cost was £275 complete, which included a £5 royalty to William Fife.
In recent years 22 G.R.P. Fifes have been added to the fleet. The current fleet consists of 33 yachts.
