Shamrock V, less than three minutes behind, passed close enough to the Thomas F. Moran to pitch a cork aboard. Both boats, breaking out jib, baby jib, topsail and staysail, started on the homeward reach (wind close abeam). From then on the challenger, reputed "ghoster," was no match for the defender.
