Known Racing History:

In launching the 30 foot restrictive class this Fife design was similar to that of his later 8 metres, but with an additional coachroof allowing reasonable cruising accommodations. At 64 Fife built Cleo on spec for himself, along with A F Sharman’s sister ship, which immediately drew considerable attention.
