Notes:

One of oldest one-classes still racing. (Originally BELFAST ONE-DESIGN?) Sometimes called FAIRY CLASS.

Originally a gaff head sloop.

The first 14 boats were built for members of the Enniskillen Yacht Club.

A centenary race was held at the Lough Erne Yacht Club in 2006.

At last account, at least 10 boats are maintained and racing on Belfast Lough, Ireland. (Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club)

A photo has been promised.
