History


At the old age of 79, the famous constructor William Fife designed Vanity V.
The first o
12mR k5 Charter Yachtwner of this grand 12 mR yacht was J.R. Payne from 1936 to 1946.
He is known as one of the best sailors in 15m and 12m class and before, in the 1920s, he was the proud owner of the successful Twelves.

Vanity's home harbors were London and Greenock at this time. During the sailing season in 1936 sh
e participates in 11 races and wins twice, comes in second once and once third.
In 1937, Vanity V won in the handicap class by a clear margin as she proved better capacity than her twelve competitors.
Between 1947 and 1960 Sir Hartley Showcross (UK Attorney General) became Vanity's owner and now Falmouth was her home harbor. Sir Hartley installed a motor in 1953 which was removed again by her subsequent owner in the 60s. The new owner was captain Michael P.R. Boyle and the home harbor became Cowes. Vanity underwent rapid changes and modernization under Boyle's ownership because he intended to use her for cruises.
Between 1965 to 1996 did not only change Vanity's owner to Alber A. Prouvost and her harbor to Toulon but she also received a new name: La Pinta.
In those years, La Pinta sailed extensive cruises along the Portuguese coast and throughout the Mediterranean. 

In 1997, Robert Daral and Jean-Poul Guillet acquired the yacht for three years and baptized her again to Vanity V. In 2000, they began an entire remodeling in Brest. They took the original design into consideration and only the deck and the interior got a new layout: the rigging and the winches were turned into high-grade steel and the mast was dis-positioned. 

Klaus Helmersen owned Vanity V after her renovation and kept her for two years between 2001 and 2003 with Copenhagen as her home.
 
Since 2003 Vanity V is sailing more and more regatta again thus living up to her true nature and destiny.
