Nevins 40

11 / 32 - score 57%

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.

This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
