Lipton plans to tow Shamrock IV to America for trials
Sir Thomas Lipton intends to seek permission from the New York Yacht Club to tow his new craft across the Atlantic rather than sail it, as required by the challenger rules. The Shamrock IV is to be ready for racing in May and Lipton hopes to have the 28 meter Shamrock ready for trials against the new challenger. The New York club is expected to deny towing approval, noting the cup deed requires the challenger to sail on its own bottom. The Half Moon, under construction at Herreshoff, is described as a fast light design and will be launched soon for preliminary trials by mid May.
