Ahoy!
I am seriously looking at buying a 1981 S2- 9.2A
We are a retired couple looking for a safe stable small cruiser that's affordable. I have many years of sailing experience but have been away from it for over 10 years.
We plan on living aboard 2-3 months per year. Is this boat suitable? There isn't much info on the net.What little I have heard is good. The boat I am looking at has a 12hp Yanmar which seems to be underpowered. But the price is right and it is well maintained,but not well equipped with cruising gear. We have plans of heading south to the Bahamas and maybe beyond. With the right gear is the 9.2-A going to fit my needs? The 9.11 is above my budget so hence the 9.2-A. Is she tender in a blow? What about weatherhelm?
