Designed by Don Wennersten and produced by S2 Yachts from 1980 to 1983, this 22-foot fractional sloop represents a thoughtful approach to small boat cruising with its distinctive lifting keel configuration. The innovative keel design allows access to shallow waters while maintaining reasonable sailing performance, making it particularly well-suited for coastal cruising, gunkholing, and exploring areas where traditional fixed-keel boats cannot venture. With 142 hulls built during its brief production run, the S2 67 developed a reputation as a capable pocket cruiser that maximizes interior volume within its compact footprint. The fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the fractional rig provides manageable sail handling for small crews or single-handed sailing. The boat's design strikes a balance between shallow-water capability and seaworthiness, though its lifting keel configuration and moderate displacement make it primarily suited for protected waters and coastal passages rather than extended offshore voyaging. The relatively high comfort ratio indicates a stable, motion-friendly platform for its size, while the capsize screening value suggests reasonable stability characteristics for coastal applications. This model appeals to sailors seeking an affordable entry into cruising with the added versatility of shallow-draft capability, making it ideal for exploring creeks, rivers, and shoal areas typically off-limits to deeper-draft vessels.
