36 foot S2 Center Cockpit cruising yacht
A ladyfriend of mine who shall remain nameless is looking at a 1981
36' S2 Center Cockpit cruiser. One can be seen he www.sailorswarf.com Does anybody have any experience, good or bad, with this model S2 or S2's in general. I have heard they are middle-of-the-road as far as quality. Better than a Hunter but worse than a Pearson, for example. Are there any known issues when used as a coastal cruiser? CN |

Neal was trying to spell barf.

CN Well, between the date on the photos, and the slathering of red paint all over the engine, I'd guess it's a grossly underpriced and fabulous boat and they are beating off potential buyers with an oar. Paint the topsides puke yellow and the refit will be complete! Oh... as a point of reference for you lubbers, it's spelled wHarf, not warf. BB |

I'm betting that he doesn't have to try all that hard.

S2 is better than both Hunter and Pearson. The S2 30' center cockpit is called
the 9.2C. The aft cockpit is the 9.2. If your buddy doesn't need a bathtub or a wheel the 9.1 is a better boat. Lighter, bigger rig and the interior is just as nice. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "Trains are a winter sport" |

Neal,
They are a pretty damn nice boat. Built very well for coastal cruising. For my taste's they overdid it on chopping up the interior for accomodations but that is me. For a women the added privacy could be a plus. A nice turn of speed. Even when loaded. Fairly windward and handles well. There was one in our Cruising Club and was very well thought of.

Thanks, Thom for the reasoned feedback..
