An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Amaryllis was a catamaran sailboat designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff and launched in 1876. It was notable for its significant victory in the 1876 New York , which resulted in multihull sailing vessels being banned from organized sailing competitions. Ironically, Herreshoff was later to become a celebrated monohull designer. Amaryllis was succeeded by a second catamaran vessel, Tarantella. It is said that prejudice against multihulls resulting from Amarayllis' superior performance was only overcome by Victor Tchetchet much later in 1946.
