On April 22, Captain Turner and twenty-three members of the crew of the yacht Shamrock IV. will sail for New York on board the steamer Lapland.
On June 2, SHAMROCK has had her first trial spin. She had two and a half hours of it in very light to fair breezes on the Sound. Designer and skipper are well pleased with impressive speed of the Yacht.

In answer to Lipton’s challenge of 1929 the Americans designed four J-Class yachts as possible defenders.

Weetamoe was designed by Clinton Crane for a syndicate headed by George Nichols and Junius S. Morgan.
