History
On June 17, 1914 William S. Dennis was replaced by Harry Haff, son of Hank Haff as the captain of the yacht. Vanitie lost to Resolute in the 1914 trials. Defense of the cup was put off during World War I. The 1920 campaign was not successful and Vanitie lost 7–4 in the final selection series, again against Resolute which went on to successfully defend the America's Cup on behalf of the New York Yacht Club.
