The S&S 40, produced by Far East Yachts in Yokosuka, Japan, represents a sophisticated intersection of American design excellence and Japanese craftsmanship. Designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens, this 40foot offshore cruiser was born during the peak of the Cruising Club of America (CCA) rating rule era. While Far East Yachts is perhaps most famous for the William Gardendesigned Mariner series, the S&S 40 was a more performanceoriented offering, intended for owners who prioritized the balanced, seakindly manners for which Olin Stephens was renowned. Most examples were built between 1964 and 1970, a period during which the yard transitioned from mastergrade wooden construction to heavyduty fiberglass layups, often finished with lavish amounts of teak and mahogany.
