For the new boat Sir Thomas turned back to William Fife, the designer of the first Shamrock. The boat was built under lock and key, and until she was launched nothing was known of the kind of craft Fife would turn out after his experience here in the race of 1899.
Shamrock III was launched early in the season, on March 17th 1903, day of Saint Patrick, under the most successful conditions.
