golden V'S club shamrock

As Conundrum says, the bow looks Shamrock-style, but not the stern. It's possible that someone took a Shamrock hull, cut the transom off and modified the stern to what seems to be a wider, fairer shape - such things were far from uncommon in earlier years. There were half tonners modified to be quarter tonners, three-quarter tonners modified into half tonners, etc.

 

Any photos of the stern?

 

I'll try and get some

 

Hope this is of some help ....



Note that outboard is back up only - it is fitted with a single pot Bukh on board

 

I would suggest that this is too full bodied aft (under the water) even to be a heavily modified Golden/Silver/Club Shamrock. No idea what it is, though. Sorry.

 

Well thanks for looking anyway - your advice is appreciated.

 

I'm thinking perhaps Parker 27 - Ron Holland design, looks pretty close, and there was one called Nos Na Gaoithe

But the standard Parkers were lift keelers - maybe this was modified by an owner?

 

That sounds promising - I will take a look over there - thanks very much.

 

Having had a quick look I can see from the year of the post that this must be a different Nos Na Gaoithe (this one was under different ownership at that time) - but I'll see if anything else comes of it -thanks again.

 

There were a few fin keel Superseal 26 / Parker 27s built. But I've never seen a bilge keeler.

If it's a converted Superseal the entire space under the sole (floorboards) would be solid ballast. Is it?

 

No it's not.

 

Hey. My ship was detached from the matrix obtained from the "Silver Shamrock", winner of the Half Ton Cup World Championship in Trieste, Italy early 1976.

I have some photos. Regards.

Pd. I have no precise knowledge of Golden Shamrock, but I'm sure the Silver Sharmrock, destroys it hehe

 

Hello Fox1. She looks very nice. Do you have any photos from astern? What sort of rig do you have? (Masthead, like Silver Shamrock; or fractional?). Where do you keep her? Are you still winning?

 

Condrum later step you more pictures. The boat has a KEMP mast, imported from england in the 80s, tapered, fractional with long top mast, and 2 running backstays (as we say in English) . Incredible and very entertaining lol.

The ship is unbeatable in PHRF. But in the ORC rule, punish us very much and am considering some changes RCEHA. Any recommendation?

You've got a similar one? Greetings. Fox1.

 

Shamrock Club Racer - not

That is no Shamrock, stern, keel, bow, deck all wrong.

My parents owned a Shamrock Club Racer in the 1980's which we cruised the Med with. Sailed it hard. Excellent boat, beautiful upwind (especially with Solent jib!) but a handful 'surfing' downwind in a blow under spinney! Main boom in water one moment, spin boom in the next!
