" Mr. Rose's challenge was the subject of considerable comment, being called by one English critic "an after-dinner affair, " while there was considerable speculation among American yachtsmen as to what influenced him to \\ithdraw it. Mr. Rose was London representative of a New York banking house, and had lived many 3-ears in the United States. He was connected v/ith turf sports, but was not a yachtsman. His proposed challenger was to be from the designing board of George L. Watson. She was eve...ntually built in 1899, but not on the dimensions indicated in Mr. Rose's challenge. She was not launched until the spring of 1901, when she was purchased by Kenneth Clark, Esqr. , of Paisley, and was christened Kariad. Her racing in the Clyde, in 1901, showed her to be a smart boat, though not of the cup class. Her load water-line length was 80 feet, overall length 108 feet, beam 20 feet, and draft 17 feet.
