Used Nevins 40 Sailboats for Sale

The Nevins 40 stands as a testament to the golden age of American yacht building, a meticulously crafted wooden yawl designed by the renowned firm Sparkman & Stephens (S&S design #1068) and built by Henry B. Nevins, Inc. on City Island, New York. Produced between 1955 and 1960, this vessel is celebrated for its robust construction and exceptional seakeeping abilities, often serving as a capable coastal cruiser with true offshore capabilities. Notably, the Nevins 40 is a direct development of the legendary S&S yawl Finisterre, a boat that achieved significant acclaim by winning three consecutive Newport to Bermuda races. Only 12 examples of this classic design were ever built, underscoring its bespoke nature and rarity.
