The Stevens 47 is a fast, three stateroom cruiser designed in 1981 by Rod Stephens of the legendary Sparkman and Stephens firm. The Stevens 47 is arguably the most well-respected blue water, three stateroom sailboats produced and is highly prized on the brokerage market. Her soft motion in a seaway, swift 200 nautical mile per day passages, and luxurious accommodations are unrivaled by yachts of a comparable vintage. The performance of these Stevens is legendary. The hull shape and keel-rudder configuration make them surprisingly stiff and fast boats, well-balanced in any condition with a smooth motion offshore.
Although the design was aimed at the charter trade, she was really much more. Bill Stevens, the Caribbean Charter king of the time, immediately realized the potential and purchased the molds, making as many as he could for his BVI charter fleet as well as lending his name to the vessel. All told, 138 were built, 56 under the Stevens name before he sold the molds to Queen Long Marine. They rebranded the boat under the Hylas 47 name, building another 82 boats. Production began in 1981 and ended in 1991, when the design was modified to become the Hylas 49, which is still in production today.
The Stevens 47 has a solid-fiberglass hull and Airex-cored decks. It's beamy, but the powerful cutter rig, low-deadrise hull, and elongated fin keel put it among the faster cruisers of its era. The hull's sharp entry eliminates pounding in all but the heaviest weather, and its easy motion in a seaway is attributable in part to the fact that the weights of such major components as the engine, which is well forward under the cockpit, are centered well away from the ends.
HURRAH’s owners have moved onto a larger boat and have mentioned they miss the performance they had with her. The three cabin layout is great for a family or a cruising couple. With lots of living space, good storage and tankage, HURRAH is a good choice for extended cruising or liveaboard. In fact, there are quite a number of them that have done circumnavigations- a testament to their seaworthiness. It’s a lot of boat for the money.

There is a 6’5”x 29” berth on starboard and a 6’6” x 47” berth on port. Both berths have lee cloths, making this berth configuration ideal for offshore passages.
