Classic Maurice Griffiths Designed Boat For Sale
Based in the picturesque North Wales town of Conway, Olive Mary is probably the prettiest boat swinging on the moorings in the fast flowing river leading past Conway Castle; from the shoreline, I've often admired her. Both she, and one of her sister ships, Wendy May, are currently (December 2017) for sale. See the OGA website for full details of Olive Mary and the Classic Yacht Brokerage for Wendy May.

In total there are four boats built to Maurice Griffiths' Olive May design, Olive May and Singapore in 1931, Silver Fox in 1933 and Wendy May in 1936. A rumoured 5th boat, Silver Seal is actually Silver Fox renamed.
