Shamrock V was built in 1930 for Sir Thomas Lipton’s fifth and last America’s Cup challenge. Designed by Nicholson, she was the first British yacht to be built to the new J Class Rule and is the only remaining J to have been built in wood. After launch she was continually upgraded with changes to hull shape and rudder.
Refitted in 1999 by Dykstra & Partners at the Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, England to the highest modern standards, capable of traversing oceans in comfort and safety all within the boundaries set by the originality – and styling requirements.
