About the Item
The painting depicts the start of the third race of the 1930 America’s Cup on the 17th September. The day was ideal for racing with a 13 knot WSW breeze.
Both yachts started on starboard tack, Enterprise to leeward of Shamrock. The painting depicts the moment the two yachts cross the line with the America’s Cup buoy visible on Shamrock’s windward bow. Shamrock’s owner Sir Thomas Lipton is in the ideal position to witness this exciting start from his steam yacht Erin also off Shamrock’s bow.
Two minutes after the start, Enterprise takes advantage of the fact that most of Shamrock’s crew are engaged in trimming the main sheet to tack, Shamrock’s crew thus preoccupied were slow in responding and Enterprise gained substantially by the maneuver.
Shamrock did not relish tacking into the head sea as they beat out to the windward mark, forty minutes into the race her main peak halyard parted forcing her to retire. Enterprise in accordance with the race instructions carried on alone to take the race and go 3.0 up in the best of 7 race series.
Enterprise went on to win the 4th and final race the following day and retained the America’s Cup.
Astern of Enterprise can be seen J P Morgan’s steam yacht Corsair IV, then the largest steam yacht in the world, and behind her, Nourmahal: flag ship of the New York Yacht Club. On the extreme left is the USS Kelly, one of numerous destroyers and Coast Guard cutters detailed with keeping the course clear for the racers.
