A dispatch from Glasgow says that in
the Shamrock III will be embodied some
radical departures in the matter of yacht
construction, which have not appeared
in any previous challenger These
changes are said to be due to an acct
dental discovery made during the trials
of the Shamrock | and Shamrock III,
which convinced Designer Watson that
there had been a fundamental error in
the construction of all the recent chal-
lengers. This discovery was made toe
late to admit of the remodeling of the
Shamrock ii, but when its nature was
explained to Sir Thomas Upton, it had
great weight in deciding him to try for
the Americas Cup a third time. Both
Designers Fife and Watson are con-
WINGED that they possess solid data upon
which they will now be able to build a
yacht superior to any previous cup racer.
They are certain that they have evolved
an idea which affects the whole theory OF
the propulsion of sailing yachts.
