1963 Sparkman & Stephens Finesterre

This 1963 Sparkman & Stephens Finesterre is a wooden yawl built with the refined proportions and performance characteristics the design house was known for. At just over 40 feet with a beam of nearly 11 feet, the hull is balanced and responsive, delivering both speed and seaworthiness whether sailed in classic racing or cruising trim. Power comes from a single 38 hp Mercedes diesel engine.

The interior arranges one cabin and one head, configured to support both extended cruising and racing campaigns. The yacht has been set up to transition between these two modes of sailing, allowing for flexibility in how she is used.

The wooden hull has been maintained consistently, with systematic winter storage under cover since launch. Past owners have kept her in steady condition through regular professional care. The current configuration reflects a shift toward classic racing, where the boat has competed successfully in major European events under JCH rating.
