S2 11.0

The S2 11.0 is a series of American sailboats that was designed by Arthur Edmunds as cruisers and first built in 1977. The designation indicates the approximate length overall in meters.

Production
The series was built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, United States, between 1977 and 1987, but it is now out of production.

Design
The S2 11.0 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and wooden trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft with the standard keel and 4.67 ft with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is fitted with a Universal, Volvo, Pathfinder or Yanmar diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 70 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 80 u.s.gal.

Operational history
In a 1994 review of the 11.0 C Richard Sherwood wrote, "the 11.0 C model ... has the same underwater lines as the 11.0 A. There is substantial weight and a broad beam for stability. The deep keel and rudder help track off the wind. The center cockpit has become very popular for cruisers, and the 11.0 has a big one."
