Built during S2 Yachts' productive decade from 1977 to 1987, this Arthur Edmunds-designed 30-footer represents solid value in the cruising sailboat market. With 520 hulls produced over its ten-year run, the S2 92 A earned a reputation as a capable coastal cruiser that balances performance with comfort. The fin keel and rudder-on-skeg configuration provides reliable handling characteristics, while the moderate displacement of 9,800 pounds and substantial ballast ratio create a reassuring feel in varied conditions. Her masthead sloop rig with 468 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance for weekend sailing and extended coastal passages. At just under 30 feet overall with a 25-foot waterline, she offers surprising interior volume thanks to her 10.25-foot beam. The fiberglass construction has proven durable over the decades, and many examples remain actively sailed today. Her comfort ratio of 25.77 indicates a motion that's neither too quick nor too slow, making her well-suited for cruising couples or small families. This design targets sailors seeking an affordable entry into serious coastal cruising, with enough capability for occasional offshore passages while remaining manageable for weekend adventures.
