Seller's Description

1987 S2 9.1 Special Edition for sale. This boat is hull #117 and one of only a handful of special editions that S2 made. The special edition boat came with a vacuum bagged hull and an alternate interior layout, reducing weight by 400 pounds while adding a 9” taller rig.

This particular S2 9.1 SE has been set up well for beercan racing as well as port to port racing. The boat has accommodations for 8 sailors. There is a removable foam cored v berth for extra sleeping arrangements but typically this area is left open as the sail locker. There are two foam and fiberglass coffin berths that were installed last winter. These can be easily removed if the new owner desires to change the layout. When I purchased the boat it had been converted from an outboard boat to an inboard boat very early on in the life of the boat. New martec folding propeller in 2017. In 2019 the engine was replaced with a rebuilt 1992 yanmar 2qm15. During the engine replacement the parts bills started to spiral, it was discovered to have the wrong stuffing box(2” hose clamped around a 1.5” stuffing box) so this was replaced. The control cables were not long enough to reach the new locations, they were replaced. The throttle control itself was damaged while trying to change the cables, that was replaced. The muffler was too small for the new engine, that was replaced. Motor mounts, them too. This list goes on and on.

Now for the fun stuff, the sailing. This boat was set up to be competitive with the more modern boats that are joining my fleet. I have focused on making the boat a competitive racer. This means lines, hardware, and sails. The amount of money spent on new gear is more than the boat is worth. I have purchased a “modern” sport cruiser so time for this girl to move on. Storage can be negotiated as well as the boat stands she is sitting on. She is still shrink wrapped from the winter. Loads of pictures upon request.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
?
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
?

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
