J CLASS - SHAMROCK

[@wayneo7220]

I saw Shamrock in storage at a Hudson River pier about 1986. It was just prior to her restoration and she looked pretty sad, but you could see the beauty in her lines. I'm so grateful to the people who loved these boats enough to restore them.

I think Sir Thomas Lipton would be pleased these boats are sailing and racing again.

this is great sailing in the best wind/waves to be found anywhere - i've experienced it, with these J yachts thundering by.... :-)

Wonderful shots of the boat . But it does not give any idea how tall the mast is , it is huge ! I'm told it needs 7 tons of lead in the keel to keep it upright too !

Look at how thick the boom is on that boat!

OK guys, we're going to have another "man overboard" drill.

Thank you.

My late Grandfather Edward Downing served on SHAMRROCK 111 and I would so much appreciate as to how I might find out about the crews at this time . Can anyone help ?

[@billbogg3857]

+Henry Taysom Sorry cant help. You can see that they still need a lot of crew as they do not allow all available modern appliances to be used. Their appearances in B ritain are quite well publicised , If you have a chance you could go and see them. and talk to the crew.

[@jacquelinerichards4695]

As my Great Uncle Edward Downing crewed the Shamrock 111, and looked after the boat, as it was down in Durgan, on the Helford River, Edward Downing was my Great Uncle who was my Grandmothers Brother, also I have a photo of Uncle Edward, I have even got a photo in a locket that was left to me by my Grandmother Rhoda Downing, hope you can contact me on Facebook Jacqueline Richards.

The only thing out of contest and ridiculous is the crew sitting outboard on the windward side.......
