Review of S2 5.5

Basic specs., sailing characteristics.

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for S2 5.5 is 3.64, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for S2 5.5 is about 77 kg/cm, alternatively 434 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 77 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 434 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

The S2 5.5 , also called the Grand Slam 5.5 , is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Don Wennersten as a racer and day sailer and first built in 1982. The designation indicates the approximate length overall in meters. [1] [2]

The design was the smallest boat S2 Yachts produced and its only dingy model. [3] [4]

  • 1 Production
  • 4 References
  • 5 External links

The design was built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, United States from 1982 until 1983, with 70 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [3] [4]

The S2 5.5 is a recreational sailboat , built predominantly of fiberglass , with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom , a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 600 lb (272 kg) and has a small cuddy cabin for stowage. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centerboard extended. With it retracted the boat can operate in shallow water, be beached or ground transported on a trailer . [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.0 km/h). [2]

1983 S2 5.5 Grand Slam

  • Description

Seller's Description

The owner bought this boat in 2014

General condition and any additional information

I still love to sail this boat, but just dont have the room for two boats. The center board down and draws 4 foot, up and just 6 inches. Great boat to sail, beach and picnic. Comfortable seating for 4-5 people. Sails nicely, stable and responsive. Paid $1200, and put $1800 into her.

Standard features

Fractional Sloop. Standard day sailing boat, outboard, and trailer. Large cockpit for a family and enclosed Cutty. Kick up center board, stores in trunk. Boat weighs 600 pounds, and trailer 400 pounds.

Extra gear included

Motor, Safety gear, anchor, paddle, boat hook.

Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior

Sails in good condition. Replaced standing rigging and halyards 2014. Added motor mount and used 4 hp Evinrude long shaft. Trailer 1983 EZ loader. Red hull gelcoat is faded but topside in good condition.

Easy to set up, and great day sailing boat with 10 ft. cockpit and nice locking cutty for gear.

I slipped the boat for 3 years in Lake Macatawa (Holland Michigan) Excellent for inland lakes, and big lakes when the wind is light. Sails great in 6-15 knots. I bought a bigger boat for Lake Michigan sailing..

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Model 11.0 A Sloop

Category Sloop

Posted 3 Weeks Ago

This S2 11.0 Sloop has not been used much over the last few years. It's mainly dirty and the seller suggests it needs to be painted, have the through hulls changed, and the toilet plumbing repaired. He'd intended to restore the wood doors and drawers and switch out the wall covering. He's purchased new wall material. The Trojan Deep Cycle batteries are fairly new, he'll include the Mast Climber and a small compressor for diving, etc. The owner indicates the original engine onboard needs a head gasket replaced. Since the engine is non-functional, there will need to be an in-water survey. The owner will include a replacement Volvo Penta 17c engine that he purchased for $3800. He suggests the original engine can also be repaired. He'll also include a new Triton 2 Wireless wind station, valued at $2,200. Stock #367982 This S2 comes with a spare engine and Triton2 Wireless Wind Station. It's priced to sell! The S2 36' 11.0A aft cockpit is a sloop-rigged, fin keel, spade rudder sailboat with a keel-stepped mast. S2 Yachts sailboats are renowned for their build quality, and sailing ability. Built in Holland, MI by the same family that builds the Tiara powerboats. Beautiful woodwork and high-quality materials are used throughout the boat. This aft cockpit S2 sloop is well suited for crossing oceans, and yet she is fast and easy to handle with all lines leading aft to the cockpit and she is comfortable to live aboard. Her mainsail was recently replaced and the jib on a rolling furler is in great shape. As you enter the companionway, the galley is to port with a gas stove: 2 burner and oven, a large refrigeration box, deep double sink and lots of storage. The seller will also include a new 11 gallon water heater that will need to be installed. To starboard, there is a single berth and a dedicated nav station. In the salon area, the convertible U-shaped lounge becomes a double bed and there's a single settee to starboard. In the bow is a V-berth and the head is to the port with a toilet, a shower, and a sink. This sailboat is priced to sell! Please see the "Condition of Unit" section below for more information and call us today.

Model 34 Swing Keel - Shoal Draft

Category Sloop Sailboats

Posted Over 1 Month

We have owned "Surprise" since 2011. We have campaigned the boat successfully on the Bohemia River and upper Chesapeake Bay. The swing keel draws only 4’ when up and 6’10” when the board is down, making it prefect for the upper Chesapeake. Last season she won the ERYC Bohemia Bay Wednesday Night Racing series and the Gene McCord Memorial Race. “Surprise” continues to be a fast and competitive racer. The 150 genoa is on its second season. Sail inventory includes a main, #1 genoa, 1 spinnaker, 1 asymmetric drifter, … In addition, she has proved a comfortable cruiser for those times when we weren't racing. This 1980 C&C 34 Sloop offers a great deal of comfortable cruising for a very reasonable price. She has beautiful lines and is a great all-round boat with a good turn of speed. She is roomy below decks with over 6 feet of headroom and accommodations for six. Side decks are large permitting easy movement around the boat, and forward is a large anchor locker. Her bottom was painted in spring of 2022. The boat is in very good shape with a large V-Berth, Convertible Settee that sleeps 2 and a Port Aft Bunk that sleeps 1. Galley has a 3-burner stove/oven, sink and top loading ice chest. A single head to port and large hanging locker before the V-Berth. She has a Yanmar 2QM20 20 HP Diesel, 2 - 12V batteries + Inverter, Keel stepped mast, Furling Jib, two Danforth Anchors + 50 feet chain and 200 foot of rope, Maroon Sail Cover that matches Bimini, Dodger and wench covers. All lines led into the cockpit, sailing instruments in cockpit, 3 bumpers, and 50-foot Shore power cable. She has a custom cover for the winter. The new owner gets all this plus the equipment and accessories listed below. The 34 is considered one of C&C's better designs, equipped for racing and cruising. Call for a showing today.
