The Stevens 47 is widely considered one of the premier examples of the "Taiwanese Golden Age" of boatbuilding, a period when exceptional craftsmanship met the legendary naval architecture of Sparkman & Stephens (S&S). Originally commissioned by Bill Stevens of Stevens Yacht Charters in 1981 and built by the Queen Long Marine shipyard, the model was intended to be a robust, highperformance charter vessel capable of withstanding the rigors of the Caribbean while maintaining the elegance of a private yacht. Approximately 56 hulls were produced under the Stevens name before the molds were transferred to the shipyard itself, where the design was rebranded as the original Hylas 47. The hull eventually evolved into the Hylas 49, which featured a raised sheerline and a "sugar scoop" transom but retained the foundational S&S underbody.
