Re: S2 27 sailing performance in heavy weather


Mark Swart
 

Hi George great to hear from you! Hawaii sailing is not as awesome as you would think! Rough, choppy, VERY gusty, super-inflated boat market (sold my crappy 1970 Catalina 22 with no trailer for $2,500?!?!)

I'd take Kentucky Lake any day of the week! We are moving to Tacoma soon, and I'm ready. Apparently our former S2 27 is in Portland now, maybe we will go visit it haha.

Joe,
My old
friend Mark is right.? The 27 is much better suited to
rough conditions.? In a 50K race last fall we had to beat
the last half of the race into steep waves and winds at
20-25, gusting over 30.? My little 27 was the only boat in
our division that didn't drop out. A?few of the big
boats dropped out too.? So I think you'll be ok going
with the S2
Oh, and
Hey Mark.? Long time.? How's Hawaii? Never mind, I
think I know the answer.

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!

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
