The Standfast 40 is a quintessential representative of the "Golden Age" of Dutch yacht building, emerging from the Breskens yard of Frans Maas during the peak of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) era. Following the sensational overall victory of Frans Maas’s own design in the 1975 Fastnet Race, the Standfast 40 was developed as a high-performance production evolution of that championship-winning hull. These vessels are recognized globally for their exceptional structural integrity and the unmistakable aesthetic of Dutch naval architecture from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Unlike many of its contemporary production rivals that prioritized interior volume, the Standfast 40 was engineered first for the sea, featuring a deep-chested hull, significant tumblehome, and a powerful masthead rig designed to claw to windward in the demanding conditions of the North Sea.
