The beam OF the challenger is much
farther forward than in Shamrock
I. and her run has been carried out to
a wider taffran than was shown in
Shamrock III
She has a well-turned bow, fairly
sharp, although there is an outward
curve all the way down. Her en-
trance must be good and she is not
likely to be stopped up by head sea

sides is carried clear to the end Of
the counter Her bilges are very easy
and at the midship section the curve
seems very moderate.
The depth to the rabbet is greater
than in any challenger since Valkyrie

there is fatness of floor. a soft curve
