Second year of the Fairies sailing, all boats are present, including ‘Fay’ and the rest of the batch 2 boats. Belfast News-Letter, 3 August 1908 
It is possible that this is the only known image of ‘Fay’ if she is one of the yachts here. It is however, difficult to tell given its quality. 1906 Photograph 
Mention of the procurement of additional Fairies, including ‘Fay’ Irish News and Belfast Morning News, April 1907 
The last known mention of ‘Fay’ ever sailing. Belfast News-Letter, 03 October 1931
‘Fay’ was the 11th and final Fairy of the Enniskillen Yacht Club, arriving with the second batch of boats in 1907. She was a regular contender for the club’s outings and almost always answered the gun. ‘Fay’ is not to be confused with the RNIYC Fairy of the same name. She was renamed briefly to ‘Banshee’ in 1922, again that’s not to be confused with another RNIYC Fairy of the same name. She returned to the name ‘Fay’ again in 1929. She also took the sail No.9 in 1923 after ‘Petrel’ arrived from Lough Gill as this number was vacant after ‘Psyche’ had left in 1911. From here her ultimate fate remains unknown, having last appeared in the race records in 1931, suffering heavy damage and a dismasting, while under the helm of Lord Loftus, the future Marquis of Ely. It’s possible that ‘Fay’ suffered irreparable damage during this event, however other Fairies were also dismasted in that race and were all returned to the water without much trouble. It is possible that the damage to ‘Fay’ was more extensive and required more time that was pushed back as the Great Depression struck the British and Irish economies. The boat was possibly broken up for the scrape value of her keel or may have ended up buried as many other craft have, along the shores of Lough Erne. The mystery of ‘Fay’ continues and it is highly unlikely that she survived in any state to the present day. The name ‘Fay’ is an older title for a Fairy, often found in early English literature.
