HISTORY
Her racing career was extraordinarily brief but undefeated. She bested her America's Cup challenger, Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III, designed by William Fife, in both races they actually finished (the third was called off due to light air). Her designer immediately proposed the Universal rating rule to avoid such extreme, dangerous and expensive vessels, which made Reliance an inadequate contestant in subsequent races. Her very successful career was short-lived, and she was sold for scrap in 1913.
