spec's on a 26 foot S2

[yomoma]

Hey guys I just bought a 1982 S2 it's a 26 foot long, I think that makes it a 7.9 right? or wrong. Also I need to find out the specs on the boat, like the specs to buy a furling system,
how long the boom is and how long is it from the forestay to the top of the mast. All the dimentions for the boat to buy sails and the furler, how about the CDI system any good and wheres the cheapest place to shop for one? Thanks guys, John

Two 26 foot boats in 82

There is a 7.9, which is a racing design and an 8.0, which is a cruising design.

Most rigging shops will know the dimensions you need. Be aware that sometimes boats, like the 8.0, came in an optional tall rig version. The easiest way to tell what you have is to run a tape measure up the main halyard. There is a lot of information available using the search function on the site too.
