Boat: Islander 32-2 | of , I'm not going to suggest I'm the authority on this one,, However, I believe the S2 you are considering has a 5'6" , which for the southern , , , and "gunk-holing" might limit where you can comfortably ,, fwiw-- cheers, MOCHA |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | (We'd be willing to drive from LA to to see one)... However, although it was advertised as an S2 11 center cockpit, it was actually their 35' version (not the 36' version). The 35' versions is a VERY different boat! Slightly different layout 9although it is a Center Cockpit)... Everything I've read about this boat indicates that not only is the balsa cored, but so is the hull! Not interested in dealing with that at all... I've been a professional prototype developer for 30 years, have worked with composites a LOT and have refitted several boats and feel comfortable doing a complete of balsa fitting restorations etc... however, I don't want to be dealing with a balsa cored . OK... emails sent out to our sailing buddies from Ventura to San Diego as well as a dear friend of ours who is a yacht in marina del Rey... Still hoping to find an owner of an S2 11 (36') Center Cockpit that would be willing to let us take a tour of their boat. Thanks! Richard |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | on these boats: The S2 is also available in a shoal version... I "think" it was 3' 11' or 4' 11"... don't remember... (I hope I'm not mixing up the 36' specs with the 30' specs!!!... I'll have to go back through my files... Just did! The fin is 5' 6", their "shoal draft" is 4' 8"... not much of a difference, but a foot, is a foot... (Laughing at myself) As if this boat isn't already hard enough to find, we also want the shoal draft version! LOL! My childhood was spent in the and we're fully aware of wanting/needing a shoal draft boat for what we want to do... This will be a far cry from our C26' with center board (6' 2" down, 2' 3" up!). meter and paying close attention to tide tables! The good side, is that we have 2 years (until Tresa retires), to find one... Hard to hold off on compromises (especially when we're this excited about this boat...), But finding one with the shallower keel is at the top of the list of must haves! Thanks again! Richard |

. I think it was optional, because I saw another model with a shaft drive (as I recall). My Friendly suggestion: Since you have done a lot or on this boat model (and sister models), Please post some photos that show the differences, or "layout" drawings that identify the various models. That will help others identify the boats and learn too. | |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | and the sail drive. (I'd MUCH rather have a shaft drive! Most of the S2 11 boats came with a Universal or (The Universal had more horsepower (36HP). Give me a day or so, and I'll come back with some ... Can I link a YouTube video here? The one in mind was the one that us on the 11 meter version and includes outside and inside tour. (Is there a "special" way to do that? Best, Richard PS: Sure glad i shipped out my latest client prototype yesterday! I've become obsessed to a feverish frenzy to find one of these! on other sites and emailing ALL my sailing buddies back in Southern California! (And there's a LOT of them! LOL!) |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | segment of the tour really shares why we're so in love with this boat! We've seen several (sold), with asking prices ranging from $25k to $39k When we're ready to buy, we're pretty sure we'll be looking along the (Great lakes to Florida), to find one. Best, Richard |

Boat: Westerly Conway 36ft | , 1981 Westerly Conway. Interesting to see the differences, good luck with your boat search. Just be aware that with a 1981 vintage boat, you will need to check for in the underwater . And as I have said elsewhere, all the will maybe be due for replacement. A costs a ton of to buy but is to maintain. An old boat is to buy but costs a ton of to maintain. TANSTAAFL for all those Robert Heinlein fans. For the uninitiated, there aint no such thing as a free lunch. |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | checklist that goes way beyond what I think most people do... Whew! Still... It's our dream and i want to do it right... yes, There's no free lunch... Glad I can do pretty much all the myself... From to to composites... one of the things I plan to do unless I can see receipts proving otherwise, is replacing standing . I could go on and on, but I think most people here understand the undertaking of finding the right boat and then "buying" the right boat. LOL! BTW: your boat was on our short list of candidates... NICE boat! OK... back to here... I'm having prototype projects coming at me left and right (not complaining!!!! Great to have the , just a little tired.) Thanks for your input! Richard |

Boat: Chrysler 26, swing keel | , but even then, I don;'t take any one person's ... I wait until I see patterns, then research that pattern until it makes sense to me to make up my own decision... We actually wanted the 30' S2 9.2 CC, but Tresa was the one that brought up "living" on a boat as if it were until we were too old to do it anymore... Creature COMFORTS were and still is, our number one consideration: Living day after day, having a real in a real bedroom (I use these terms to relate to translating life ashore to life on a boat.) Having a separate aft with a large berth that we don't have to dig out bedding, move stuff around etc, changes day to day living for us, from camping to living. We both have a of "adventure traveling" (Way before we met each other): Tresa built and paddled a 20' touring canoe from Montana to the (3,500 miles for four months. While she was doing that, I was riding a mountain bicycle from Los Angeles to , through the , up the east coast to , across to the and then back down to LA ... 7 months. So we know how to "rough it"... and we've spent two "sessions", our 26' boat (standing , but still cramped for what we want to do. I was hoping to keep overall costs down by going for a 30' boat, but the reality is, being able to do most of the work ourselves (She's great working with and fiberglass!!! On her own!), the added expenses of a larger boat like 36', we both think, will be worth it in the long run. We definitely have avoided looking at boats much larger... In our re-fitting history, we've purchased most from second hand chancelleries, factory re-conditioned , last year's models etc... just about anything to help keep costs down. We plan to have the boat and it's repairs/refitting/upgrading completed and paid for before we take off... I wish we could get our boat parked here by my shop. We have a nice piece of property and the advantages of being able to climb down from the boat, step into the shop and make anything, is just way too convenient. Learned that, refitting our boat. I'll try to post some photos here of a I did on the bow of our 26' Chrysler... A little overkill, but turned out to be perfect! 25# , with modified , custom bow roller, and HD all backed with ply/FG and ... spent a few days at , spinning around on the and woke up to a 30knt+ blow that came into the bay... a LOT of boats dragged... We didn't! |

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

Join Date: Jul 2014. Boat: S2 11.0C. Posts: 3. S2 11.0C. I love this little 36 footer. I've taken liberties with her (Miss Behavin) by totally getting away the traditional saloon design. I took some ideas from Hunter to make her seem roomier and more spacious than she really is. Light cream vinyl headliner with recessed LED lighting.

The 35.5 is a conservatively-designed cruiser with excellent build quality and nice lines. By modern standards it is quite heavy, not particularly roomy, reasonably, but not very, fast; quite sea-kindly. I looked at a Bristol 35.5 and just came up with the same conclusion, not much more space then my current sailboat.
After 13 days in the Marathon boat yard, my S2 is finally back in the big lake. Having paid $150 for the inner frame to be welded. I removed a good portion of the 16lbs. foam in the rudder.
