At the AGM in Flensburg, July 2025
“The Association is a worldwide club of owners of sailing and motor craft designed by the New York naval architects, Sparkman & Stephens Inc.
It was formed in England at the Cowes Classics Rally of 1993 by four devoted owners of S&S designed cruiser-racers, but it quickly expanded to encompass owners and lovers of sailing craft of S&S design in many countries.
Some 300 members share a love for the fast, sea-worthy and beautiful yachts designed by Sparkman & Stephens. For more than 90 years and over 2700 designs for pleasure, commercial and military use. These designs have won countless races from the America’s Cup to local events and with it, international acclaim.
