The Stevens 40 represents a pivotal moment in the history of Queen Long Marine, serving as a sophisticated precursor to the worldrenowned Hylas Yachts line. Designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens (Design No. 2457), this vessel was commissioned by Stevens Yachts in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Built during an era when Taiwan was establishing itself as a premier destination for highquality yacht construction, the Stevens 40 was intended to provide a robust, performanceoriented alternative to the massproduced cruisers of the time. While its larger sibling, the Stevens 47, often garnered more headlines for its bluewater dominance, the 40foot variant offered the same level of overengineered construction and Sparkman & Stephens’ signature balance in a more manageable, owneroperator package.
