Shamrock Not Crippled as New Measurement Maintains Time Allowance
Sir Thomas Linton’s Shamrock II was remeasured at Erie basin by New York Yacht Club official C D Mower. Lead removed to offset anchor weight, water line unchanged from prior measurement, meaning no change to the challenger’s time allowance. Designer Fite says Shamrock is sound, ready for the final contest, as wind conditions may favor Shamrock over Reliance. Forecaster Emory notes winds variable and unsettled with possible showers on the international race course.
