In 1966 in an attempt to combat the high cost of U K build the 30ft Cavalier was introduced in to the range. Six of these high spec , five berth cruising boats were built at Wing On Shing shipyard in Hong Kong.

The boats were built to Lloyds +100A1 Classification under their survey and shipped back to Cowes for the addition of masts, rigging etc. Her construction consists of teak hull planking with oak frames and copper fastened. She has a solid teak deck and cockpit and a lead keel.

The auxiliary power was provided by an Italian Arona twin cylinder diesel engine of 12 h p.


'Malanya', the first of Class, was built for Lord Greenway who kindly agreed to her being exhibited in the 1966 National Boat Show.
