The Conway Club Cruising Association has a web page at
http://www.hmsconway.org/cruising.html. The pages mention:
"During the
last few years when Conway was in Commission there used to be an annual race
meeting of Old Conways and the Cadets at Plas Newydd. ...
Once the Pay Off
took place some of us wished to perpetuate Conway's traditions by wearing her
Ensign. Thus was formed the Conway Club Cruising Association.
The Admiralty
have given members who have British registered yachts the right to wear the
Conway Ensign. ..."
This agrees with or section on the
TS Conway, where the Flag with badge of 1927 is
described as "the ensign ..., which is still in use as the authorized ensign of
the Conway Club Cruising Association."
More details are given at
http://www.hmsconway.org/tradition.html:
"A Proud Tradition Continues...
Conway Ensign
The Conway Ensign may still be flown, there are strict rules
however. The yacht must be registered in Great Britain either under Part 1 of
the Merchant Shipping Act or under the Small Ships Register. It must be owned by
an ex-Conway cadet. You must belong to The Conway Club Cruising Association ...
You must fly the Conway Ensign and Burgee together."
