Good Day,
I am looking to purchase a used boat for live aboard/cruising around the Sea of Cortez and area. Possibly along the west coast. I am considering the S2 9.2C as an option since one is available in my area at a reasonable price. And the boat is in very good condition.
I am hoping to reach out to current owners regarding suitability. I have been doing some research and have come across comments stating this model is a good lake boat, or coastal cruiser. Some say it is a poor choice if any heavy weather or rough conditions exist. Some say it sails like a bar of soap. Others say it is a good sailing vessel but a poor upwind performer.
I guess my question is simply: Is this boat suitable for coastal sailing if the weather gets rough ? Is it safe ? And for example, could this boat sail comfortably from say LA to Hawaii if somebody ( not me ) wanted to do that ? Thank you for any advise.
