He believed tho strain of crossing the Atlantic tinder her own sail undoubtedly hurt Shamrock, which looked to be an entirely different boat in the trial races in British waters, giving confidence to England beyond any other challenger Sir Thomas Lipton had produced. "Now she sails «s though she is drageing a crab-pot." hr> said. . ». - i While in no way representing ofhcia! opinion. Mr Groveraines suggested that England should be allowed to build a boat in anv section of the Empire, such as Canada, saving six prcciou 3 weeks' tnning-up period. * avoiding the strain and possibilities oi harm in crossing tho ocean.
