Designed by Arthur Edmunds and built by S2 Yachts beginning in 1976, this 26-foot sailboat represents solid American fiberglass construction from the era when performance-oriented designs were becoming more accessible to weekend sailors. The hull features a modern fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling and good pointing ability. With a displacement of 4,600 pounds and 289 square feet of sail area in a masthead sloop rig, the boat strikes a practical balance between stability and performance. The moderate beam of 8 feet provides comfortable cockpit space while maintaining decent upwind performance, and the 4-foot draft allows access to many popular cruising areas while still providing adequate lateral resistance. The comfort ratio of 19.54 suggests this is a relatively quick boat that won't pound excessively in choppy conditions, while the capsize screening value of 1.93 indicates good stability characteristics suitable for coastal cruising and club racing. S2 Yachts built a reputation for producing well-engineered boats that offered good value, and this model continues that tradition. The sail drive propulsion system provides efficient power while maximizing interior space, making this an attractive option for sailors seeking a capable day sailor or weekend cruiser that can handle a variety of conditions with confidence.
