THE SHAMROCK'S TRIAL
The New Challenger Is Fast on
Her Heel.

Gourock, Scotland. March s1-The
Shamrock III AMI the Shamrock I went
for a trial spin today. Sunshine and a
light steady breeze had succeeded the
wild weather of the last week and no
time was lost in getting the two Sham
rocks off. Though the breeze was light
it was decided not to risk anything and
the cup challenger's working topsail
was accordingly set. The Shamrock 1
followed suit.
The challenger was the first to leave
her mornings and looked the picture of
a racer as she headed off shore. Out
in Gourock bay the wind was 50 light
that the motion was more drifting than
sailing The Shamrock III slipped
through the water without leaving a
ripple and carried her head well up.
The nrst time the challenger broke tack
it was apparent that by shortening her
fin Designer Fife had produced a boat
which was fast on her heel even com
pared with cup racers. She carried her
way right through turning and was off
on her new course while the older boats
would have been still looking at it, thus
showing herself free from the greatest
weakness of the Shamrock II.
There was no attempt at a set race.
The Shamrock I went off over a mile a
head and then the sheets We're trimmed
A---FA
down channel. The two yachts We're
close hauled while crossing the mouths
of Holy Loeb and Loeb Long and the
wind was squally and uncertain. They
both sailed faster as they both got a
better breeze and the challenger show
ed herself to be little tender in squalls
but she sailed with her lee rail just
clear Of the water.
She Travelled fast and closed stead
lily upon the Shamrock T. Under the
mountainous Cowal peninsula the land
breeze came through and fairly fresh
and the yachts went down channel on
what looked like real racing tests, in
which the Shamrock HIS greater speed
was demonstrated. Sailing in the same
water and no better served by the wind
the challenger pulled up On her rival
like hauling in rope, as the boats
fetched down channel, until Weymiss
bay. the Shamrock III lay better to the
wind and sailed faster. During this
eight miles she had closed on the
Shamrock [ by fully mile and at the
same time had edged quite quarter
of mile further to Windward. FIX
perts consider this performance alone
sufficient to stamp the Shamrock III
as being under the conditions prevail
ing today. by far the faster racer built
on this side of the Atlantic to compete
for the Americas cup.
