This STEVENS 40 is a production fiberglass sailboat designed by the famed Sparkman & Stephens and built in Taiwan in the early eighties. Only 10 boats were built under this brand between 1982 and 1984 until the boatyard Queen Long Marine Shipbuilding became in 1984 the exclusive builder of the well-known HYLAS Yachts. The STEVENS 40 and 47 are very similar to the HYLAS on many levels: solidly built, sea-kindly hull designed for blue water cruising, center cockpit layout and high-quality teak interior.

Hi! I just found your blog via Caroline at https://rollinwithcaroline.wordpress.com/.
I was interested in your boat. We have a Sparkman and Stevens boat too! Fandancer was built in Ontario in 1973, a Northstar40 ketch. I like your photos, very similar interior to ours. We currently live aboard and sail in Greece. I have a blog at http://georgiemoon2026.wordpress.com and includes a couple of posts about how we renovated her, with photos. Good luck with your travels!
