The S2 27 is an American sailboat that was designed by Graham & Schlageter as a cruiser and first built in 1985.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Production

The design was built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, United States from 1985 until 1987 with 85 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1] [3] [7] [8]

Design

The S2 27 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of balsa-cored AME 4000 resin fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 50000NaN0 and carries 21000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.75feet with the standard keel and is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located at the companionway on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 720NaN0.[1] [3] [5]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.47kn.[3]
