Vanitie was built for Alexander Smith Cochran first competing in 1914 to defend the 

America's Cup but lost to Resolute. She would be refitted and eventually 

sail in the J-class after 1931 and then scrapped 1938.




Nichols would go on to sail Weetamoe for Frederick Prince, in 1930 and 1934 but was 

unsuccessful in trials for the Cup.
