When Leon Slikkers founded S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, in the mid1970s, he brought a meticulous, powerboatbred manufacturing ethos to a sailing industry that was often characterized by roughandready laminates and sparse finishes. Having previously built Slickcraft into a highly respected powerboat brand, Slikkers applied the same rigorous standards of gelcoat finish, precision fiberglass layup, and interior joinery to his sailboat venture. Introduced in 1975, the S2 7.0 (often referred to as the 7.0 Meter) was designed by the accomplished naval architect Arthur Edmunds 3. Conceived as a stout, trailerable pocket cruiser, the S2 7.0 was built to offer a highquality alternative to the flood of cheaply made trailersailers of the era, establishing a reputation for structural integrity that remains evident in surviving hulls today.
