Price had throughout his life enjoyed sailing old gaffers around the UK coastline and fishing for lobster in the Isle of Man

Bristol is where he took over a boat yard and was responsible for the design of  Icelander boats as well as designing and building one of the first yachts to take part in the Falmouth to Azores and back race  in 1975.

Hywel Price made a major contribution to the marine industry with his initiative designs and built a number of boats using different materials before his death in 2012.
