No better deal can be found on solid and ready Aluminum Boats For Sale In Texas Instrument to sail Great Lakes cruiser with a clean inboard diesel - it is just time for me to move it along.
Summer storage is paid through the end of this month and a launch is included in the purchase. If you chose not to launch until next season the storage rates at the Marina for winter are extremely reasonable and the pre-paid launch will still be yours come next summer. Here is a Review from "Practical Sailor" S2 8. In the 13 years S2 sailboats were in production S2 still makes powerboats , the company produced a variety of modern cruising designs from the board of Arthur Edmunds, all characterized by longish fin keels, freestanding spade rudders, straight sheerlines, and a staggering variety of draft options and cockpit locations.
The S2 8. Her hull dimensions, sail area, displacement, and general design characteristics put her square in the middle of the modern footers such as the Tanzer 8. She has a fairly straight sheer, fairly high freeboard, and low, raked cabin trunk with dark tinted flush ports. Production of the 8. The boat was replaced by the similar S2 8. ConstructionThe hull of the S2 8. Glasswork is excellent, and is noted by owners as one of the main considerations in buying the boat.
Gelcoat quality is excellent. Slight roving printthrough is evident, but it is not objectionable. Minor hard spots are visible in the topsides, probably caused by the attachment of interior furniture and bulkheads.
The deck molding is cored with end grain balsa, giving a solid feel underfoot as well as providing reasonable insulating properties. The hull molding has an inward-turning flange, onto which the deck molding is dropped. The joint is bedded in flexible sealant, and through bolted on six inch intervals by bolts passing through the full length slotted aluminum toerail.
The joint is also through bolted across the stem. All deck hardware is properly through bolted, although pulpits, cleats, and winches merely use nuts and washers on the underside of the deck, rather than the aluminum or stainless steel backing plates we prefer.
This will go a long way toward absorbing the shock of the inevitable encounters with docks and the other hard objects that seem to be attracted to the topsides of the typical sailboat. A proper seacock�whether it uses a ball valve or a tapered plug�has a heavy flange to allow through bolting to the hull. This is an important safety feature. Should a valve seize, it may become necessary to apply a great deal of leverage to the handle in order to open or close the valve.
The deeply threaded through hull stem can easily break under these conditions, and more than one boat has been lost in this manner.
We also suggest that seacocks be installed on the cockpit drain scuppers and the bilge pump outlet, both of which may be under water while the boat is sailing. Light air performance would benefit by the fairing in of the through hull fittings, particularly the head intake and discharge, both of which are far enough forward to have a significant effect on water flow past the hull.
Ballast is a 3, pound lead casting, epoxied inside a hollow keel shell. We prefer an external lead casting bolted to the hull for its shock-absorbing qualities and ease of repair. This preference was reinforced recently when we examined an old Bristol 27 just sold by a friend.
The surveyor noticed dampness near the bottom of the leading edge of the keel, which showed slight external damage. Probing the loose putty revealed some abrasion of the glass keel molding. In order to sell the boat, it was necessary to grind away a large portion of the glass at the front of the keel, dry out the ballast, and reglass the lead�a job that took several days of work and cost our friend a fair chunk of money.
Fillet bonding is neat and workmanlike with no rough edges to be found. Chainplates are conventional stainless steel flat bar, bolted to bulkheads and plywood gussets in the main cabin. These are properly backed with stainless steel pads. Due to the fact that the hull is lined throughout with a carpet-like synthetic material, it is not possible to examine the bonding of the chainplate knees to the hull.
The stemhead fitting is a stainless steel weldment, through bolted to the deck and hull and reinforced inside the hull with a stainless steel gusset to prevent deflection of the deck from the pull aft of the headstay. General construction is thoughtful and well executed, with excellent glasswork, a strong and simple hull-to-deck joint, and reasonably installed hardware and fittings. Handling Under PowerAlthough some early models of the 8. Because of the high freeboard and considerable windage of the 8.
Recognizing this fact, the company offered a 15 horsepower, two-cylinder Yanmar as an option. The extra fuel consumption of the larger engine will scarcely be noticed. The 18 gallon aluminum fuel tank will probably give a range under power of over miles�more than adequate for a 28 foot cruising boat.
The fuel tank is located under the cockpit and is securely mounted and properly grounded. There is an easily reached fuel shut off between the engine and tank.
Unfortunately, the fuel fill is located in the cockpit sole. Spilled Aluminum Boats Hulls For Sale Philippine diesel oil turns even the best fiberglass nonskid into an ice skating rink. Fuel fills should be located on deck, where spills can be efficiently washed away. Engine access is via a large removable panel on the inboard face of the quarterberth. This panel lacks any kind of handhold to make it easily removable, which will discourage regular checking of the engine oil.
There is no oil pan under the engine. It will be necessary to be very careful when changing oil to keep the bilge clean. We have yet to see anyone change oil and filters on a boat engine without spilling something. With the quarterberth panel removed, access for routine service is excellent.
The quarterberth has remarkable headroom over, so that the mechanic will not feel like a trapped spelunker after a half hour of work. Engine removal will require some joinerwork disassembly. Handling Under SailThe S2 8. Her PHRF rating of to compares very favorably to other boats of her size and type.
The Sabre 28, for example, has a rating of Part of this is no doubt due to the fact that the standard sails on the boat come from the North loft.
S2 now uses Hall spars. The simple masthead rig is extremely clean, with airfoil spreaders and internal tangs. The boom features an internal outhaul and provision for two internally-led reefing lines, with cam cleats at the forward end of the boom. The deck-stepped mast is mounted in a stainless steel deck plate incorporating plenty of holes for the attachment of blocks.
Halyards and Cunningham lead aft along the cabin house top to a pair of Lewmar 8 winches. Lewmar 16s are optional, but hardly necessary. The main is controlled by a six-part Harken rig mounted on the end of the boom, and a Kenyon traveler mounted on the aft cockpit coaming.
This will work fine with the tiller-steered Chris Craft Aluminum Boats For Sale 5g version of the boat. With wheel steering, the mainsheet is likely to be a nuisance to the helmsman. Because of the end-of-boom sheeting, a boom vang will be essential for full mainsail control. This is probably a better arrangement, although it heavily loads the center of the boom and requires more sheeting force. Owners of 8. The cabin has a wide feeling, created by pushing everything outboard.
