About Sparkman & Stephens's designs

Sparkman & Stephens has 26 designs in this archive, drawn between 1931 and 1990 for 12 different yards, from 9 metres to 21: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.

These are heavy hulls, nearly all of them: boats that carry their weight through a sea instead of climbing over it.

The bulk of the work belongs to the seventies, and the archive follows it only as far as 1990.
