The Hylas 47 is a foundational vessel in the history of high-end Taiwanese yacht building, representing the first major collaboration between the Queen Long Marine shipyard and the legendary design firm Sparkman & Stephens. Introduced in 1981, the boat was originally commissioned as the Stevens 47 for Bill Stevens’ Caribbean charter fleet. After the first 56 hulls were completed under the Stevens name, the molds were transitioned to the builder and rebranded as the Hylas 47, with approximately 82 additional units produced until 1991. The model is widely regarded by nautical researchers as a "breakthrough" design that successfully bridged the gap between a performance-oriented hull and a comfortable, three-stateroom cruising interior. According to an editorial review by Jordan Yachts, the vessel’s aesthetic is defined by its "rocket ship" stern, low-profile cabin trunk, and a deep forefoot that allows for a smooth, non-pounding motion in heavy seas.
