Thanks to Rick for setting up the new S2 27 Class Association group. Since there were only 85 hulls produced, this group could become an extremely valuable resource for owners. I have posted the four page sales brochure for the 1987 model in the "Photos" section. Note that the 1987 interior is different from 1985-86 models. Dave S. Hull #80 S/V Clio

What kind of PHRF ratings are you getting for JAM racing? In the long island sound area i'm assigned a 206 with the 151 #1 head sail. also, any thoughts on getting this boat moving in light air downwind (sans spinnaker?). in 5 knots or less of true wind - the boat is very slow on a broad reach - maybe getting low 3's thru the water.

If interested I have a PDF copy of a yanmar service manual - had found it on a website - its a Clymer manual I believe. If interested, email me and I will send it on (would rather do it this way rather than posting on the site) Rick

I am in the process of tuning my mast. Anyone have reasonable Loos gauge values for the shrouds? I have an adjustable backstay, so that's not such an issue at this point. Thanks. --Dave (aka scuppers) s/v Clio

Note that the settings I refer to below are for the Loos professional PT-2 Gauge, not the smaller gauge. Apparently the scales are different for these gauges

how do we get to word out the the remaining ~81 that this group exists? Suggestions?

Do any (of the three) of you have a fixed boom topping lift? If so, do you remove the topping lift from the boom end while sailing? My fixed topping lift really interferes with the upper part of the roach of my mainsail, and it seems to restrict vertical boom movement. I would appreciate hearing about how you handle this "problem" (or is it a problem?) By the way, I have the cruising version of the 27, with mid-boom sheeting. Thanks. Dave S. s/v Clio S2 27, hull #80

Have any of you all replaced the genoa sheet foot blocks? my stbd block sheave went flying across the cockpit during a race... let me tell you, I removed the block from the deck - not sure what someone was thinking when they installed it...one set of bolts/nuts were right above the aft most bulkhead so it was a real PITA to remove - had to actually cut away some fiberglass tabbing in order to reach the nuts...dumb... Rick

can someone confirm what the 100% jib sail area? I saw one listing stating the sail area was 222 sq ft. given that the total sail plan with 100% jib is 350 - 375 (seems to vary based upon source) - that would make the mains'l only 130-150 sq ft - the main seems much bigger than that... Rick

Just curious. Which engine do you have in your 27? My boat is hull #80, built in 1987 (modified cabin layout, as shown in the '87 brochure in the "photo" section). My engine is a Yanmar 1GM10, with a small two blade fixed prop. The boat is much underpowered, IMHO. I can manage about 5.5 kts at 3200 rpm with a clean bottom and no wind or current. How about yours? Year, hull #, engine, and performance?

I have an '85 S2-27. Have same engine and a martec folding 2-blade prop. The boat is definetly underpowered. It should have a 2gm-10. I rarely get above 5.1 knots, but rarely have motored sans wind, tide and clean bottom...;) Thanks. Rick Perret +1 203 545 9598 Sent from mobile device.

Ditto on all counts: My boat is #50, 1GM10, 2 blade prop, fixed. About 5 knots max. My external oil line on the lower port side began leaking this summer. It appears to be rusted through where the retainer clip wraps around it. I ordered all three new lines from Torrensen and they informed me that the leaking one was no longer available even from Yanmar! The other replacements are copper tubing brazed to the banjo fittings. Looks like I'll have to do the same to the old fittings, unless there's another source for new old stock out there. Thanks, Bob

So part of my winter fun is refinishing the handrails. A pain to remove as one of the nuts was stuck to a bolt, and then I accidentally cut the wrong bolt...so now I have to get 2 new bolts. At any rate, the handrails are attached by 5 stainless tubular supports - inside the tube is a piece of teak rounded to fit inside the stainless tube to support the bolt as it goes thru the tube and into the deck. Of course several of the teak pieces inside several of the tubes are completely rotted. And the inner diameter of the tube does not appear to be a standard size. Any thoughts on how to cut some new teak pieces for the stainless tube? My other approach was to fill the tubes with epoxy so they'll never rot. Rick s/v Esperance S2 27, Hull #42

posted some pictures of my winter cover frame - a carpenter friend of mine designed this so the frame ribs fold up for easy storage. If you look closely at one of the ribs, you;ll see a red patch between the wood - this is actually piece of shower pan liner - screwed into the wood. It folds easily and is stable. Rick

My battery charger is a Dytek. There is precious little info on the internet on these chargers, since they are apparently out of business. In addition, my boat didn't come with a Dytek owners manual or original literature. Do any of you know if this is original (OEM) equipment on the S2 27? I *do* know that Hunter used them on some of their boats. Some internet references refer to them as "fry-tek", meaning they cook the batteries. From that disparaging reference, I assume that they are not modern 3 or 4 stage chargers, with a float cycle. Anybody have any literature they would be willing to post? BTW, I have two group 24 batteries on my boat. Thanks! Dave S. 1987 S2 27 "Clio" Hull #80
