Bristol Herreshoff plant to build cup defender yachts
The Herreshoff boat shops in Bristol will construct a cup defender for a New York Yacht Club syndicate, boosting local employment and activity. Designer W Starling Burgess leads plans for up to three or possibly four contenders to defend the America’s Cup in September 1930 off Newport, facing Lipton’s Shamrock. Notable syndicate members include Commodores Vincent Astor and E Walter Clark, with rivalry between Lambert and Clark likely to fuel the trials.
