About Stephens, Waring & White Yacht Design

Robert Stephens, Paul Waring & Steve White continue a spirit of tradition-- more than forty years of excellence in yacht design. Mentor Joel White’s philosophy of elegant simplicity lives on in vessels such as the Bridges Point 24 daysailers, the Center Harbor 31 weekenders, and the strikingly beautiful W-Class 76' racing yachts. Today Stephens, Waring & White advance that tradition into the changing world of modern technology.

The work from this office can be described as "artful engineering" firmly rooted in the development of "Spirit of Tradition" (or modern classic) sailing yachts. Stephens, Waring & White are capable and eager to engage any project. These yacht designers have become well known for combining traditional grace with modern science and construction techniques. The vision and focus is to provide any client with an exceptional experience in bringing their dream to life. In addition to years of design experience, Stephens, Waring & White bring to the drawing board a great depth of hands-on experience in all aspects of boat construction—the importance of that experience cannot be over-estimated. This is a key element in the range of services this office can provide. Our goal is to combine traditional standards and modern vision to achieve elegance, high performance, and value... design that displays exceptional distinction.
