SOME INFORMATION ON THE SHAMROCK V -- During the 1930's the Americas Cup races in Newport were dominated by enormous J-class boats. Sir Thomas Lipton built Shamrock V as one of the first boats in this class. Shamrock V is hailed for her beauitful classic hull design. In 1988, she was purchased and restored by the Museum of Yachting at Newport, Rhode Island. She was restored to her original racing trim. In 1998 she was purchased by a private owner in Aukland, New Zeland.
