The Stevens 40 represents a pivotal moment in the history of Queen Long Marine, serving as a sophisticated precursor to the world-renowned 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 high-quality yacht construction, the Stevens 40 was intended to provide a robust, performance-oriented alternative to the mass-produced cruisers of the time. While its larger sibling, the Stevens 47, often garnered more headlines for its blue-water dominance, the 40-foot variant offered the same level of over-engineered construction and Sparkman & Stephens’ signature balance in a more manageable, owner-operator package.
