S2 9.2

[5] The S2 9.2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of balsa-cored fiberglass, with teak wood trim.

It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.

[1][3] The boat is fitted with a Japanese 15 hp (11 kW) Yanmar 2GM diesel engine for docking and maneuvering.

[1] The galley is located amidships on the port side, and features a two-burner alcohol-fueled stove as well as pressurized water.

The master cabin is aft on the center cockpit version, with a forward "V"-berth in the bow, as well as a dinette settee that can be used as a berth.

There is a 2:1 Cunningham, a fixed topping lift and a 4:1 mainsheet mounted at the rear of the center cockpit on the roof of the aft cabin.

With a relatively low aspect keel and skeg forward of the rudder, wetted surface is greater than the comparably sized Catalina or Pearson 30s.

Weather helm is noticeable in stronger gusts, but the boat is generally well balanced and always manageable, even in lumpy seas.

The flat sheer, sloping deckhouse, almost-flush Lexan forward hatch, hinged anchor lid, and tinted deadlights are familiar features on boats built three decades later.
