New Boat - S2 27

[valnieman]

Hi all-
We may be moving from a Hunter 240 to an S2 27 - cruiser version - insights and friendship appreciated! We are 56/62 and needing a solid, stable boat we can pleasure sail and enjoy spending time on.

Is it an S2 8.0? What year?

[valnieman]

Hi
It's a 27 - when I understand is different from an 8.0. The year is 1985, all freshwater kept, and a survey 2 years ago with corrective work completed in spring 2010.

S2 (probably an 11), is on my shortlist.

From my research, there is a lot of good to be said about the boat, and I have yet to run across anyone who has actually owned one that is negative on it. They pack a lot of space in what is available to them.

My S2 8.0 is wonderful we figure in a couple of years to upgrade to a 9.2or11.0 but for now love our girl. S2's are terrific boats and very livable and seaworthy from all we have learned

Welcome! I'm fairly new around here myself and we just bought an S2. So far any complaints are very minor, easily corrected and expected on a 30 year old boat. There is also a s2 yahoo group available. Enjoy!
