The S2 8.0 C is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Arthur Edmunds as a cruiser and first built in 1975. The number designation indicates the approximate length overall in meters and the "C" indicates "center cockpit".[1] [2] [3] [4]
The S2 8.0 A, S2 8.0 B and the 8.0 C all share the same hull design, with different deck configurations and interior arrangements used.[1] [3]
The design was built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, United States, starting in 1975, with 210 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1] [3] [5] [6]
The S2 8.0 C is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or shoal draft keel. It has a center cockpit, displaces 52000NaN0 and carries 18000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 4feet with the standard keel and 2.5feet with the optional shoal draft keel. The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a dinette table and benches in the bow that converts into a double "V"-berth and an aft cabin with a double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, under the cockpit. The head is located on the starboard side amidships.[1] [3]
For sailing the design may be equipped with a number of jibs or genoas.[1]
The design has a hull speed of 6.2kn.[3]
