As mentioned previously one of the most prestigious orders received by Morgan Giles was the 8 metre class Hispania VI built for King Alphonso XIII of
The 8 metre Yacht Emily Spain. She raced in the Solent and came second so the King was well pleased. She was reputedly damaged on transit to Spain but the King was very soon after deposed from the throne and forced into exile, it is rumoured that Morgan Giles never received payment for the boat. She has currently been shipped to America for refurbishment but it is reported that she may be beyond repair.
Another very successful 8 metre was Emily built in the early 1930's for Sir Ernest Roney and she won a number of races in the Solent and coastal regattas. She was last seen in a car park in America in a very poor state of repair but it has now been reported that she has been broken up.
Morgan Giles continued to build centre-board dinghies. Various types for owners all over the country, 
Haifi Yacht Club14ft Dinghy Salcombe, the East Coast, Milford Haven, The Humber and at the time very much in competition with Uffa Fox. Many more designs were produced and some manufactured by the the yard for overseas Yacht Clubs
including among others Nantucket YC, Bombay YC, Astur Gijon YC in Spain and the Haifa Yacht Club which ordered six 14ft International Dinghies from Joseph Vella in Malta to the Morgan Giles design. In 1931 Frank won the Prince of Wales Cup for 14ft International dinghies with his son Morgan as crew, this must have enhanced the reputation of the yard, In the 1930's at least 130 dingies of various sizes were built and many many more built elsewhere to the Morgan Giles design.
War Office Khartoum Galvanised Steel 16ft Dinghy
In 1937 a 16ft design in galvanised steel was produced for the War Office, Khartoum for the use of troops. This material was chosen for the very salty water that the vessels would be subject to. In addition in the 1920's and 30's the One Design dinghy's became very popular with sailing clubs around the UK and further afield. Morgan Giles was at the forefront of these designs including the 21ft Seabirfd class for the Bombay Yacht Club.

Over this period of the Yards history a considerable amount of work was carried out for the RNLI. The job book shows that a number of repairs and refits were carried out to the Teignmouth Lifeboats
Liverpool Class - Buckie Lifeboat 1939 Alfred Staniforth which stood down at the end of 1930 and the Henry Findlay which replaced it. In addition work was carried out to the Weymouth, Torbay and Exmouth Lifeboats. Also built in 1938 was the Liverpool Class George and Elizabeth Gow for the Buickie Station on the East Coast of Scotland. She was commandeered by the Admiralty during the Second World War. Another interesting Lifeboat repaired and modified later in the war was the Belgium ARB Ministre Lippens sailed to this country by Belgium Refugees.
In 1934 Francis lost his wife, Ivy, who had been a great support to him through his sailing ventures and the company taking a keen interest in all that went on there. Ivy was a fine helmswoman in her own right and had an outstanding racing record. One of her great joys was to be nicknamed The Mother of Sailing. They had five children and one of these was Michael Morgan-Giles who briefly joined the company that year before leaving to join the RAF to train as a pilot. He rejoined in 1936 as Assistant Manager but during the war serves in both the Royal Navy and the Army. One of the few people to serve in all three of the armed forces.
Over these years the Job Book shows many repairs and refits of many vessels. Alterations to both Siris I and Siris II, Work on an 85ft Ketch called Christabel II for the Bristol West MP C T Curwell. Also in 1932 the 32ft Yacht La Revolutionaire built for Lt.Cdr. W Twysden. This vessel was later renamed Jamie Scott and used by Michael Morgan-Giles as the Duty Boat at Milford Haven during the early part of the war.
In late 1938 and early 1939 eight One-design dingies were made for the Teign Corinthian Sailing Club, 2 Salcombe Yawls and the 44ft 6in passenger launch, White Heather. This was the end of normal production for the duration of the war when Morgan Giles contentrated on the war effort initially building six 16ft Trawlers for the Admiralty.
