New Owner - 1986

 

Hello, all. I just purchased a 1986 S2 27 set up in the "cruising" layout. I'll be sailing in the middle Chesapeake Bay with the boat in a slip just off the Magothy River. We delivered it to its new home today in 8-12 SSW from Back Creek in Annapolis under the Bay Bridge and into the Magothy. It was a great sail and other than the main sheeting system I am really impressed with the boat.?


I'm looking forward to many more sails.

Congratulations. I agree that main sheeting system looks like garbage
 

My boat has a harken replacement traveler and its fantastic. We set the sheeting and play the traveler in gusts to keep the boat at a good heal and works wonderfully.?
 

Yeah, I swapped it out for something more traditional.
 

Yeah, I have a traveler that a previous owner and poster on this site installed. It works great and I tend to lock the sheet and play the traveler upwind, too. But, I really didn't like the setup of the main sheet, not so much because it used the starboard winch and is not close to the helm on port tack, but because of how it cleated on a horn cleat. I'd put a cam cleat under the winch but the compass was mounted there.

So, I just replaced it all and it sheets on the traveler like most boats.
