The Shamrock

Recently Charles 4. Nicholson on
q visit to the United States was pre-
vailed upon to tell of the construc-
ton Of the Shamrock ". He said
"The challenger is the first boat
ever built in England under the
American measurement rule. She
differs greatly from the Resolute ard
Vanitie.
shamrock, although Il composite
boat, is virtually q wooden one. She
has a multi-skin planking of three
thicknesses. The two inner are
diagonal, and the outer one
runs fore and aft. She has no tim.
bers or frames, In the ordinary
sense, and but few web frames,
widely spaced. Some Of these
frames are Of steel and others Of
aluminium. Instead Of ordinary
frames she has longitudinal wood
stringers.
"Her deck is very light, Of ply
wood covered with canvas Most Of
her deck beams are of wood. Her
steel sheer strake and deck stringer
plate are those usually worked into
composite yachts. The challenger
came across the Atlantic without
any damage or straining of the
slightest.
"Her mast, instead of being steel,
Is hollow wood one, and is not even
braced with steel. 1t is the biggest
hollow wood spar ever made.
"She has much fuller bow thar
the defender and is longer keeled
than she is.
"Her aluminium frames are n
perfect condition. Some Of TIE
aluminium deck fastenings will have
to be renewed, but that is all. Her
giant wooden mast was examined
just in time to save it; her sails are
in good condition and viii be used
again."
The Americas Cup COMMITTEES,
which includes l.. c. Ledyard, chair
man; E. D. Morgan, c. Oliver lseiin,
". B. Duncan, C. Ledyard Blair.
Dallas r. Pratt and Grenville Kane,
have minated that the cup in all
probability will be defended by
the Resolute or the Vanitie In view
of the fact that in 1915 the Reso-
lutte won nine and the Vanitie three
of twelve races in which they We're
entered, the defence is obviously 10
good hands.
But whichever way the race goes,
the return Of Sir Thomas Johnstona
Upton in the role of challenge; viii
