On this side of the water three boats are being built to defend the Cup in 1914, each from the board of a different designer.

The second boat is being built by Alexander Smith Cochran, formerly the owner of the schooner Westward, which raced so successfully in English waters in 1910. This boat has been designed by William Gardner, a New York naval architect with long experience both in the designing and construction of racing yachts. Some of the best known American yachts are from his board, such as the schooner Atlantic, which won the German Emperor's Cup in the ocean race of 1905, establishing a new record for a transAtlantic sailing passage; the Irondequoit, Liris, Medora, and many other boats that have made enviable records for themselves. This yacht is being built at George Lawley & Son's, East Boston, and is expected to be launched early in May. Her name is Vanitie.
