The search results provide a lot of good information.

Key Findings from Search:

  • Designer: Graham & Schlageter
  • Role: Racer-Cruiser
  • Production: 1982-1987 (matches, with 45 built)
  • Hull Type: Fin w/spade rudder
  • Variations: Two draft options mentioned: 4'11" (shallow) and 6'2" (deep). The has max_draft_ft: 6.16 which is close to 6'2". The also notes "Shallow draft: 4.92'". This confirms variations.
  • Sailing Characteristics:
    • Good light-air performance (due to generous sail plan).
    • Can be a handful off the wind in strong breeze.
    • When heeled, waterline increases for good speed.
    • Good performance, respectable racer in JAM fleet.
    • Fin keel provides splendid maneuverability but less directional stability than a long keel.
  • Interior/Accommodations:
    • "Great interior".
    • "Ample sleeping space".
    • "Sensible, matter of fact" layouts and finishes below.
    • "Well put together with teak throughout".
    • S2 used fabric as a hull liner, almost a trademark.
  • Owner's Perspectives/Common Issues:
    • Owners generally love the boat.
    • Solid construction.
    • Good gelcoats for the vintage.
    • Common issues: leaking around mast at cabin top (plywood bulkheads), somewhat shoddy electrical systems.
    • Can be underpowered with a 24hp Universal engine (though the lists Yanmar). The Yanmar 2GM is mentioned.
    • Good performance cruiser with family accommodations.
