Beverly was a catamaran sailboat designed by MacLear & Harris, built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding and owned by Van Alan Clark Jr.,[1] who won several racing competitions with her in the 1960s.
Her fiberglass hulls were connected by three aluminum tubes, with an aluminum mast and a nylon trampoline for the crew.[1]
Beverly took the North American Catamaran Championship title in the 300-square-foot class[1] on August 19-20, 1962.[2] In the fourth One-of-a-Kind Regatta, sponsored by Yachting magazine, boats of all types competed against each other under a complicated handicap system in the waters of Biscayne Bay, Florida,[3] in February 1963. Catamarans dominated to such an extent - taking the top ten places in all three races - that organizers decided to name only one overall winner, Beverly, which outclassed the other catamarans.[3][4] However, she was defeated by Sealion in the 1963 North American Catamaran Championship, held off Marion, Massachusetts.[5]
