The Conway One Design, frequently referred to as the Conwy One Design (COD), is a storied 17foot6inch classic dayboat born from the challenging tidal waters of the River Conwy in North Wales. Designed in 1948 by Mike ScottPaine, the vessel was engineered to provide a robust, competitive racing platform capable of navigating both the river’s strong currents and the choppy conditions of the open bay. Originally constructed using traditional clinker planking, the class has seen a successful transition into Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) while maintaining its strict "one design" ethos. The boat remains a cornerstone of Welsh maritime heritage, characterized by its elegant, highsheer lines and a heavy displacement for its size that provides stability in weather that would ground lighter dinghies.
