Keel-stepped to Deck-stepped
I just bought an '86 S2 27 and the only reservation I had about it is that the mast is keel-stepped. I didn't even know they had made a deck-stepped version till I read this forum. I'm wondering if

Re: Spinnaker Halyard
Mark, I just bought an S2 27 and I'm dismayed that there is no bail for the spinnaker. Did you ever find a suitable solution? Dick

Re: Considering an S-2 27
Well, maybe... I was actually trying to find the guy who posted the original 'considering' thread. He said he was here in the Chesapeake. I tried emailing his user email and it seems he's no longer

Re: Length and curvature of the original tiller for the S2 27?
My tiller is 39" and straight as well. It is not homemade, but there's no telling if it's OEM.

That sounds pretty close to what is on mine and what I've seen on a friend's. I use a tiller extension so that I can move forward also.? ________________________________ To:

Length and curvature of the original tiller for the S2 27?
I have a replacement tiller on my boat that the PO built. It is 39" long, and it is dead straight. Does anyone know the length of the OEM tiller that S2 installed, and if there is any curvature?

Sad Day -- Haul Out
Yep, it was inevitable...mid-October means haul-out here in the Midwest. Fortunately, it all went well today. Tomorrow (or Thursday, perhaps) I strip the boat and close her up. Why is it, though, that

Re: Holding tank vent blocked?
That sure sounds like a plugged vent to me. Wasps will pack the hole full of mud sometimes.

Re: Auto tiller
That's a good upgrade - autohelms do really well on this boat because they are so balanced. I have the low-end Raymarine one (ST 1000?)- my mounting socket is?on top of?the starboard coaming. I had
