Re: S2 27 sailing performance in heavy weather

Joe,

I have owned an O'Day 26 and an S2 27 (but I no longer own my S2) Although a lot of the specs are similar, I can tell you the S2 is in a different league when it comes to sailing. When I purchased mine I had to move it about 80 miles down the Chesapeake against 15-20 knot winds and 3-4 foot seas. It was an extremely rough voyage, but the boat behaved very well. We had to go with reefed main alone. The deep draft keels makes all the difference in the world over the O'Day's configuration - it is a stiff boat. Hope it works out for you! -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 6/15/15, fultonjoe@... [s227classassociation] <s227classassociation@...> wrote:

Hi, I am looking at an S2 27. ?I am on the western end of Lake Erie, so we occasionally get some winds 15+ Kts. and some pretty good chop to go with it. We currently own an O'day 25. ?I am concerned that the S2 27 may not handle much better since it is only 2 ft longer and 1000 lbs heavier. ?Any opinions on how the S2 handles in heavy weather is greatly appreciated. thanks, Joe #yiv3493482647 #yiv3493482647 -- #yiv3493482647ygrp-mkp { border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;} #yiv3493482647
