Hand signed and numbered in pencil from an edition of 300. Blind stamped with the Sparkman & Stephens logo. Printed on Coventry rag paper. This elegant and historically significant print presents the detailed accommodations plan of the legendary yacht Dorade, one of the most celebrated designs by Olin Stephens, a pioneering figure in 20th-century yacht design. Rendered with precision and clarity, the composition reveals both the technical sophistication and aesthetic refinement that defined Stephens’ work. Printed as a high-quality serigraph on Coventry rag paper, this edition captures the crisp linework and architectural beauty of the original 1936 design. The blind stamp of Sparkman & Stephens further underscores its authenticity and connection to one of the most respected names in naval architecture. Olin Stephens (1908–2008) played a central role in shaping modern yacht design. His contributions to the America’s Cup, including involvement with the J-Class Ranger (1937) and the design of multiple winning 12-Metre defenders, cemented his legacy. Beyond racing yachts, his designs—such as Dorade (1929) and Stormy Weather (1934)—revolutionized offshore sailing and achieved repeated victories in premier races including the Newport Bermuda and Fastnet. A member of the America’s Cup Hall of Fame and recipient of the prestigious Herreshoff Award, Stephens remains one of the most influential naval architects in history. This piece stands at the intersection of art, engineering, and maritime heritage—appealing to collectors of nautical history, design, and technical drawing. Framing available upon request.
