Nevins 40
2 / 11 - score 34%
The Nevins 40 is a 40.0ft masthead yawl designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in wood by Nevins Inc. between 1955 and 1960.
12 units have been built.
The Nevins 40 is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoffs for this request.
