Built in Brixham, Devon in 1908, Golden Vanity has had many roles. A family yacht, racing across the Atlantic, and training young people. In 2020, First Class Sailing took on Golden Vanity. She is now used for RYA courses, holidays and available for private charter. Golden Vanity is a class of sailing trawler known as a Mumble Bee, a 38ft Gaff Cutter. She offers traditional sailing adventures with great comfort below decks. Whether you want to learn to sail or enjoy a sailing adventure First Class Sailing can help. Sail Golden Vanity for a weekend of fun or join a longer voyage sailing along the coast of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Join us for Falmouth Classics or the Paimpol Sea Shanty Festival in Brittany, France. Sail a classic boat and learn traditional sailing techniques. Learning to sail on the RYA Competent Crew course is quite different from modern yachts. She is all wood and, unlike our other boats, there are no winches on board (apart from an anchor capstan) which means the sails all go up by hand. Plenty of teamwork and a good technique, which we will show you, make this possible. We also offer the RYA Day Skipper course on Golden Vanity. Ideal for those that have completed the Day Skipper on a modern yacht or have some traditional boat experience. Learn the sailing techniques required of a gaff-rigged boat from our Instructor. To find out more head to our website or follow us on our social channels. Please do call or email if you have any questions.

1st November 5pm Update – 3 Hours into the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Race The fleet is settling into Bass Strait, enjoying flat seas and 15 knots from the south in what has been termed "peachy conditions." Leading the fleet are MRV and eXtasea, with the fleet staying just east of the rhumb line. In an interview at 4pm, Rod Smallman on Maverick predicted that those who pick the right time to tack may have the advantage, as they await a wind change later tonight. He went on to suggest that it could turn out to be a small boat race for handicap honors given the predicted conditions, though tactics will play a large part. The fleet is closely packed, with each tracker update giving everyone a chance at the handicap win. Keep an eye on the tracker https://race.bluewatertracks.com/2024-melbourne-to-devonport-rudder-cup and enjoy whilst we wait for the wind to change the interview with Rod Smallman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKb4a8r4e7M
