Shamrock II hailed as handsomest America's Cup challenger
New York August 12 Shamrock II lay at anchor off Stapleton Staten Island to-night drawing many visitors. The consensus praised its beauty and gracefulness, noting its bow design mirrors Columbia and shows Watson’s refined naval architecture. Plans call for jury mast removal tomorrow and the yacht to be prepared for racing with a dry-dock cleaning afterward.

Dry dock underway as Shamrock II hauled for cleaning
The gaff topsail offered little power while the stump topmast barely held a rag of a sail. The square sail yard on the port deck had no sail bent, and there was no bow sprit or jigger mast to hinder the crew. After Erin is dry docked Shamrock II will be hauled for cleaning and the challenger’s shape may be revealed.

Invader Wins Second Race In Canada Cup Series

If 15 mph breezes hold, Invader could claim the cup for Canada, ending Genesee's Chicago victory two years ago.
