Document No 6960: Some novel features of Shamrock V | |||||||||||||||
REF : 0 EDITION : 1930 DATE : 1930 COURSE : 0 DESCRIPTION SITE : A diagram from a 1930 issue of the Illustrated London News shows some novel features of Shamrock V, that year's America ‘s Cup challenger. One valuable innovation was a belowdecks winch (middle row, left of center) for hoisting and lowering the mainsail; it reduced the number of men needed for that job from as many as 30 to only two, and also kept the deck clear of rope.
