From 1974 until 1989 the company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats and it continues as a builder of motorboats.
[5] S2 also hired the firm of Graham & Schlageter to design the popular S2 7.9 one-design racer and many of the company's later, more racing-oriented boats for production, including the S2 6.9, S2 9.1, S2 10.3, S2 22 and the S2 35.
[1] In 1989 the company was contacted by the class association for the S2 7.9, a popular sailboat racing boat.
Despite an effort by the association and the S2 dealership network to drum up orders, the ten boat minimum was not met and production was not resumed.
Whereas other production companies frequently cheapened or upgraded models from year to year to find marketing niches, S2 made boats to sell near the high end of the production boat market, and kept the quality at a consistent level.
