The S2 35 C, later designated as the S2 11.0 C to reflect its metric length, represents a pivotal moment in the late 1970s and early 1980s when American production builders began miniaturizing the "center cockpit" luxury concept for the midsized cruising market. Designed by naval architect Arthur Edmunds, the 35 C was engineered to provide the privacy and accommodations typically reserved for 40foot vessels within a manageable 35foot hull. Built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, the vessel benefited from the Slikkers family’s rigorous quality control standards, which were notoriously higher than many of their contemporary competitors in the production fiberglass era. The boat was marketed as a sophisticated coastal cruiser, prioritizing "liveability" and interior volume without entirely sacrificing the sailing characteristics that Leon Slikkers demanded of his fleet.
