This S2 9.2 Aft Cockpit sailboat designed by Arthur Edmunds and built by the same people who build Tiara Yachts, “Soul Mates”, has spent her entire life in the freshwater of the Great Lakes captained by just two owners.
Within a wide field of well-designed and competitive racer/cruisers of the 1980s, the S2 9.2 stands out mainly because it wears its age very well.
This Aft Cockpit version or the S2 9.2 meter features a fin keel with a skeg-hung rudder, and masthead sloop rigging. There were 520 built of this model from 1977 to 1987 featuring a single-spreader 43’ 6” aluminum mast stepped on deck over a compression post that’s built into the main bulkhead.
There is a sloping deckhouse that affords 6’ 3” headroom at the aft entry, an almost-flush Lexan forward hatch, a hinged anchor lid over an ample storage box, and tinted decklights on the foredeck. The hull is solid hand-laid fiberglass. Two tons of lead ballast is encapsulated in a sealed keel cavity.
This vessel has several features and upgrades including a newer 13 HP Yanmar diesel engine. Another nice feature is the well designed step box cabin entry which conceals the engine and provides easy access for service. A small corner galley to starboard of the companionway contains a sink, icebox, and stove. Opposite is a quarter berth and navigation space with a folding seat and table. Headroom is 6 feet 3 inches aft and drops gradually to about 5 feet 10 inches toward the forward cabin.
The salon table and settee convert to a double berth and, together with a 6-foot 6-inch settee opposite, make a comfortable eating, lounging, and sleeping area. A double V-berth is located forward of the wardrobe and head. An additional quarter berth provides sleeping room for an extra person on board.
The layout also provides easy access to the components that are aft of the engine (such as the fuel tank, packing gland, steering gear, etc.)
The T-shaped cockpit is comfortable. The starboard seat opens to general storage and access to the stuffing box and engine controls. Additional storage is located under the helmsman’s seat.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The S2 9.2A was the aft cockpit version.
Also offered was the S2 9.2C, (center cockpit).
First boats came with Atomic 4 gas engine as standard equipment.
Beginning in 1979, Yanmar or Volvo diesels were standard.
Shoal draft: 3.92’/1.19m
