S2 11.0 C Buyer's Guide
The S2 11.0 C on the brokerage market is the center-cockpit sister to S2 Yachts’ 36-foot Edmunds-designed cruiser, built from 1980 through 1987 with 66 hulls of the model recorded. She shares the 11.0’s substantial beam and 6,000-pound ballast with a solid fiberglass hull and balsa-cored walkway decks. Shopping one means weighing a period interior against the known structural and equipment weak points that surface in owner and survey accounts.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common on the used market, but both aft and center versions exist; ex-charter examples are common. The center-cockpit "C" gives a forward owner berth and a quarter berth aft, with a serve-through galley. The cockpit locker is voluminous enough to reach the port engine side and swallow a generator or watermaker, so former charter boats may already carry that kit.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A bimini is commonly fitted, while hot water and a chartplotter are often seen. Beyond those, a dodger, solar, lithium batteries, AIS, autopilot, and a short-handed sail-handling setup appear as owner upgrades rather than standard. The boat was sold with Universal, Volvo, or Yanmar diesels, so confirm which sits in the locker. Buyers should note that some owners moved to larger primary and halyard winches and replaced original refrigeration with Adler Barbour — signs the as-delivered gear was light for liveaboard use.
What to Inspect
The chainplates have been a source of aggravation to several owners, and one claims they must be rebedded every season to keep them watertight. On a Volvo MD 17C with saildrive, overheating persisted until a separate through-hull supplied raw water. A sailor sees the wooden mast step and relative lack of structural support for the keel-stepped mast as a potential problem. The jumbo cabin-trunk windows are large enough to pose a risk in breaking seas and deserve close examination for seal condition.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the United States, Panama, and Canada. When viewing an S2 11.0 C, check chainplate bedding and window seals, confirm engine make and cooling setup, inspect the mast step, and verify winch and refrigeration upgrades. A roomy, well-jointed hull with conservative manners rewards the careful shopper.
