The S2 9.1 SD (Shallow Draft) represents a refined intersection of performance racing pedigree and midtier cruising comfort. Designed by the naval architecture firm Graham & Schlageter, this 30foot racercruiser was born in the early 1980s as a response to the Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) rules. While many performance boats of the era prioritized speed at the total expense of habitability, Leon Slikkers applied his hallmark focus on build quality to the 9.1, resulting in a vessel that remains a staple of Great Lakes and coastal racing circuits. The "SD" variant specifically addresses the needs of sailors in thinwater regions, utilizing a 4.5foot shoaldraft keel in place of the standard 5.5foot fin, allowing for expanded cruising grounds without abandoning the boat's competitive soul.
