 What to Expect When Using an Electric Boat MotorSilent cruising. Electric boat motors operate with minimal noise, allowing boaters to enjoy the natural sounds of the water and surroundings. Eco-Conscious BoatingUsing an electric motor means zero emissions, making it a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly option. Instant TorqueElectric motors provide immediate power on demand, ensuring quick and smooth acceleration. Simplified MaintenanceElectric boat motors have fewer moving parts compared to traditional gasoline engines, leading to less frequent maintenance and potential issues. Reduced Operating CostsWithout the need for gasoline, users can expect lower fuel expenses. Additionally, electric motors generally have fewer maintenance requirements. Longer LifespanElectric motors often have a longer operational life due to their simplicity and reduced wear and tear, ensuring users get the most out of their investment. S2 27 SpecificationsHull Type: Fin w/transom hung rudder Rigging Type: Masthead Sloop LOA: 26.58 ft LWL: 23.33 ft Beam: 9.25 ft Displacement: 5,000 lb Ballast: 2,100 lb What You’ll Need: QuietTorque™ 10.0 Electric Motor Dakota Lithium 48Vdc 96Ah Battery with 8A charger and FREE SHIPPING!  Lynac 51.2V 100Ah Peak Series Battery Delta-Q IC1200 Battery ChargerPerformance projections. Below is a performance projection for the S2 27. A typical battery consists of a 48Vdc x 200Ah AGM or LiFePO4 battery driving an Electric Yacht 10 kW motor.  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):Q: Can I regenerate power under sail? A: Yes. The amount of power regenerated varies greatly with boat speed and the size of your propeller. With the 12” or 13” diameter propeller found on a typical 27’ – 30’ sailboat, regeneration will be minimal and can’t be expected to meet all of your power needs. It can be enough to be worthwhile on longer passages. On larger boats with larger propellers and higher average sailing speeds, regeneration becomes more useful. Several hundred watts can be generated on a 40’ or larger baot. Q: Can I extend my range using a portable generator? A: Yes. You would connect generator power to your shore power charger. In this case, a charger that outputs 25Adc would provide 1200 Watts continuously. Q: How do I recharge my batteries? A: In a marina, you can use shore power connected to a 48Vdc battery charger. If shore power is not available, there are other options. This ranges from onboard or portable generators to solar or wind power. Q: Can I install the Electric Yacht system in my boat myself? A: Yes, many of our customers do their own installation. if you are a “DIY” type and are comfortable maintaining your own boat, you should not have difficulty installing the system yourself. We are available to answer questions you might have. Q: How can I find someone to do the installation if I do not want to do it myself? A: We have a list of installers you can contact posted on our website. Q: What are the steps involved in doing the installation? A: After removal of the old engine and accessory items, we highly recommend you clean and re-paint the engine compartment. Once converted to electric, the mess and smell will be gone for good! Next, measure and locate the batteries. We recommend you build some kind of battery box to contain them. At a minimum, you will need flat surfaces to set them on and tie down straps to hold them in place. This is often the most time consuming part of the installation. Once the batteries are in place, install and connect the electric drive. We provide step by step instructions for installing and commissioning the system. Additional Dimensions:  - Forum Listing

S2 27 Class Association Any S2 27 owners out there? That is - owners of the S2 27 "Performance Cruiser" built from '85-'87. I'm looking to get a small class association started and website. If interested, PM me offline. Rick S2 27 US 40521 Rick, Now that you have had your 27 a while, what is your overall impression of the 27? Any cored hull issues? Thanks. See below - copied from my post on the sailboat owners.com website in November. BTW- no issues so far with cored hull - was surveyed before purchase. Also, S2 is known for good build quality and layup (certainly their Tiara powerboats are known) ####### Have had the 27 for one season. Also, have spoken to another S2 27 owner, and have looked at some posts in other sites. Here is more or less my comments in random order...overall i am happy with the boat. 1) is a relatively stiff boat that sails well to windward - can point very well. not too bad in lighter air. 2) not that fast downwind for some reason. need to fly the chute to get speed. 3) thoughtful placement (for the most part) of exterior sail handing gear, halyards, sheets, etc. 4) quality materials and very good build quality thruout - which is typical of S2/Tiara sail and powerboats. 5) the 1987 has a redesigned interior which seems better than the 85-86 6) is a mainsail driven boat - you can sail nicely with main alone - although the stock main has too much roach and gets caught on the backstay easily in light air. 7) the inboard yanmar 9hp is underpowered. in any seaway or chop or wind or tide, you will be lucky to get her over 4-4.5 knots - in low wind with current - and a clean bottom and prop with 6 people, I struggled to get over 5 knots - really needs a 12-13 hp motor. 8) you need to check the keel/blige area - some reports of cracking of inner liner to hull - but only in an area where there was no use of fiberglass cloth - so likely it is cosmetic. 9) the bilge design is not very good - way to shallow and no real way to place a pump effectively. 10) handles on a dime - it has a real tight turn radius and the rudder is well balanced. 11) these boats have a cored hull (and deck)- some people are not bothered by this - so you need to have a GOOD surveyor do a GOOD moisture check. 12) check chainplate areas - are prone to leaking (like most boats....) the spinnaker downhaul block also can leak - need to check that area too 13) generally she likes to sail in 10-15 knots with 3-4 people on board. since she's lighter than most 27 footers (5K lbs vs. 6-7 lbs) she'll start to heel more quickly in heavier air. 14) the life line stanchions are strange - the uprights mount such that you have to remove the base in order to remove the upright - which is not a good design in my mind. 15)i am thinking that the boat would motor better with a fixed 2-blade prop - but would suffer speed under sail 16) if you plan to race her - i think she suffers from a PHRF rating that is too low - the boat has a SA/D of 17 vs. C&C 27 MkV which has a 19-20 SA/D - yet the rating is the same - the boat is more a true "performace cruiser" than racer cruiser. 17) the location of traveller in middle of cockit is not great - you get your shins bruised... Rick, Since I don't have 10 postings yet, I can't PM you, but I wondered if you were able to get your class association off the ground. Anyone else have information on such an owners group?  also an S2 27 owner I am also too recent a member to pm Rick. I acquired my S2 27 this summer and have enjoyed her thoroughly. Down to my last two weeks of the season on the Chesapeake... Please post any progress, Thanks. BobS2 said: I am also too recent a member to pm Rick.

Hull number Hull #50. Officially a 1986 boat, but it must be early '86 as the serial number indicates the hull being laid up in 1985. I'm a happy owner although I'd agree the <10hp diesel is a bit wimpy for a tough current in some inlet. The only problem I have is an odor issue. Apparently the P.O. left the holding tank full for several years of yard storage. I was told the hoses can get saturated, and I tried the wipe-with-a-rag-and-smell test, but didn't get an obvious blast of stink. The tank is pretty well obscured behind bulkheads so off season I guess I'll start pulling components til I get there. It's not a fresh sewage odor. It's just a vague acrid rankness that I can't pinpoint. BobS2 said: Hull #50. Officially a 1986 boat, but it must be early '86 as the serial number indicates the hull being laid up in 1985.

However, I can start a yahoo newsgroup where we can share files, info et al. I will PM each of you individually with my email address so i can gather your email address and add you to the newsgroup. sounds good? Rick Thanks for the efforts, a mail group is a good starting point. Wish I had time to do more website stuff too. The main bilge is clean and gets no more than a few drops in heavy rain and the icebox drainage. I hand pump it and soap it out regularly. I did notice a tiny bit or water in the cockpit lockers last weekend though. The engine sump was really nasty when I bought it, I've scraped and cleaned and scraped and cleaned, but it could still be contributing. The water tank has been replaced very recently. Perhaps it had a similar problem as yours! It seems very accessible. I took a quick look this weekend and the waste tank does not appear to be easy to get at. Has anyone re-done their head/hoses/tank on this model? S2 27: odors & other info sources? Hmmm though I sent a reply a few days ago, but it's not here... There's rarely any water in the bilge. In a heavy rain, a few drops come down the inside of the mast. And some rain blows in around the hatch boards. I've scrubbed the bilge pockets out in August and besides the cooler drainage there's very little action there. I did see a little water in the cockpit locker last weekend. I re-read the hose saturation test: wet rag in place for some time, then smell. I'll try that later today when I sneak down to the marina to do the winterizing. She's hauled out for the season and flurries are forecast. I'll be replacing the speed log off season. The old unit is dead and I've just had gps speed info to work with. Learning to trim is fascinating and I'd like real water speed info. Besides, I'm about tired of stuffing batteries into and squinting at a handheld!

New S2 27 owner Hello All, I just purchased a 1986 S2 27 last fall. I'd like to join your group. Joe glad to see some traffic Thanks for the hull speed info, R. I look forward to beating it soon after launch day. That should be early April for me. We just had a freak warm weekend so there was a flock of early birds in the marina. I pulled the head intake thru hull fitting today and was please to find a dry core. I had to look up Lake St. Clair on the map. When is ice-out up there? What's the hull number of your boat? Cabintop or cockpit traveler? I would like to find info from someone who has rigged control lines on the cabintop traveler. Those spring pins are a pain. Thanks >>BobS2 wrote: I would like to find info from someone who has rigged control lines on the cabintop traveler. Those spring pins are a pain. I agree that those spring pins are a pain. After I broke my original cabintop Lewmar traveler car and blew out the rubber end cap on the track, I replaced the whole shebang with a Harken traveler with 4:1 purchase control lines. Overall, a much better system than the obsolete Lewmar with the spring pins, but likely a far more beefy system than I really needed. Two downsides for me, so far. First, the profile of the track and the end control is higher, so visibility over the cabintop is reduced. Secondly, the total travel port to starboard is a few inches less, because of the endcontrols and the longer length of the traveler car itself. I *do* like the new system much better tan the old one, however. The control lines are cleated on the end controls, and are easy to use. The lines simply hang down in the companionway. good traveller info Thanks, I've seen the Lewmar Ocean size 1 traveller kit advertised. Any opinions? The loss of range is a big consideration. Has anyone considered extending the length of the track a bit? Adding support under the track beyond the width of the hatch cover shell? So far resetting the stock traveller in mid tack has been a bit of an exercise. I can see how an end cap blowout will eventually happen... A note for a new traveler... My new Harken traveler does not have pre-drilled holes for mounting. Instead, there is a channel in the track that is designed to take stainless steel slides, whose positions are adjustable left to right. The slides have bolt holes in them. I inserted the bolts into the slides, then I simply slid the slides into the track, aligned the bolts over the old holes, snugged down the traveler (with 3M 4200 beneath and in the holes), and tightened the sucka down. In other words, I didn't have to drill new holes in the storm hood to install the Harken traveler. I did remove the vertical washboard "keepers", which allowed me to slide off the Lexan hatch. I could then access the traveler bolts from the companionway to put on the washers and locknuts without removing the storm hood (which would have been a can 'o worms that I didn't want to open! That would have required lots of rebedding of many bolts.) So my caution is this: if you get a new traveler that is predrilled, make sure that the boltholes line up with the old holes, or you are in for a LOT of additional work. The Harken slide system worked great for this. I hope this is helpful. FWIW. excellent info Thanks for the tips! I ordered the Lewmar, which also has a sliding bolt channel in the track. I'll be figuring a way to fabricate some support for the track ends to extend the width of the system to keep from losing too much travel. A block of teak on either side of the hatchcover perhaps. It looks like there's plenty of room. As for bedding, I found a soggy chainplate bulkhead this past weekend... the pre -launch list just got a little longer. I just found your threads and thought I'd post: I have owned S2 27 no. 81 for about two years now. Not much to add to the cabin top traveller discussion, except that mine also has the Lewmar cabin top arrangement. I have changed out the cam cleats, as it was already set up with control lines when I purchased the boat. If there is an owners forum dedicated to the S2 27 somewhere, I'd be interested in joining. Thanks. Welcome. I have hull #80, build year 1987. I have a question for you. Does your boat have a compression post in the salon? All the literature I've read states that 27s have keel stepped masts, which I am sure the pre-'87 models do. Mine doesn't, however, so I am interested in hearing about your mast configuration. Glad to see another S2 27 owner! This thread seems to be about the closest thing to a group I've found. I purchased hull #50 last summer. Found some soggy core in the cabintop, so the new traveller install will coincide with that repair as soon as possible. Where do you sail? Bob - a while back I mentioned forming a class assoc, etc. but with so few boat owners, and spread thin geographically, it wasn't financially feasible. next best thing would be a yahoo newsgroup - since we could control access and share information and documents in private. the newsgroup would be easy to set up. if more are interested pls PM me and I'll set up the group in the next few weeks. Rick All I just created a yahoo news group, if interested in sharing info and docs - send an email to: s227classassociation "at" yahoogroups "dot" com pls reference the sailnet and your hull # so I can eliminate any spam... S2 27 I just found the forum don't know if you still use it. I have an 1986 S2 27 and have owned it for 11 years. I love the boat its been a great boat for the family and I have done a bit of racing as well. Mine is the cruiser version which I have somewhat changed so I could better race. I think I'm either 44 or 72 cannot remember. Hello Dreamteam, I do still use this forum, just not too regularly. I have been trying to tune my rig a bit better for racing. Have been experimenting with shroud tension. What type of keel do you have? Mine is the shoul keel. Winter is about to bite us here in MI. I plan to pull the mast on Sunday and pull it out of the water on Monday. Glad you're on the forum. Stay in touch. Sail S2 27 I have sailed mostly on a Lake in GA but this last year I move to a lake in SC. I have the standard keel. Dreamteam and crescentsail I have slowly pulled together a yahoo newsgroup with a few s2 27 owners. Granted our posting activity has been minimal but we have gathered info on the boat of interest to owners. See my post above if you email to the class association email addres I will give you permission to access the forum. Hello Rperret, I can PM you about the class association becuase I have <5 posts, so with this I'll have 4. Sorry to clutter up the new group. That should have read can't (not can). So now this will be posting #5 for me. Again I appologize for using up space unneccesarily. Top Contributors this Month  - Search forums

More options Well, sold my Hinterhoeller F3, and looking to down size. Anybody have knowledge/experience owning/crewing on an S2 27? I'm looking at a 1985 S2 27 deep draft in Pensacola. Read about it and looked at brochure online. Will do some racing, but mostly weekend cruising until retired. Thanks for the help.  Super AnarchistIs this the one that looked like a 7.9 but was just a tad longer, deep fin keel and slightly less sail plan?  Like the S2 7.9, it was designed by Graham & Schlageter for S2 Yachts. The 27 was an entirely new design. The S2 27 has a lot of MORC and 7.9 influence in her hull lines, but with a more freeboard and cruiser intended interior and deck layout. The S2 27 was introduced towards the end of sailboat production at S2, so not a lot of them were built. Very well built and has nice racer/cruiser possibilities though. Good luck!

Have my eye on 1985 S2 27. Downsizing from Frers 36, so performance is key. Plan to do cruising and PHRF in Tampa Bay (when things open up). Specs look good on Sailboat data.com. Any thoughts from current/previous owners? thanks for the input Seidelmann S2, a Canadian boat not quite up to the standards of a Frers. For the protected waters of Tampa Bay it will do fine. For PHRF check the handicap.  Benny17441 said: Seidelmann S2, a Canadian boat not quite up to the standards of a Frers. For the protected waters of Tampa Bay it will do fine.

- Description
Seller's DescriptionThe 27 is a sturdy boat that is great for weekending, day sailing and club racing, sleeps 4 and will provide you with hours of enjoyment. Hull #42 was built in May of 1986 and was refurbished by its second owner in 2003, including professionally done refinishing with Awl-Grip and a new barrier coat on the hull. The engine was replaced in 2007, along with the exhaust systems. The standing rigging was replaced in the spring of 2017 and a back stay adjuster added. In 2014 the sail plan was updated, and included a Doyle battened Dacron mainsail and 135% headsail, Selden fixed bow sprit and a Doyle self-furling cruising spinnaker. Recent hull survey finds that “In spite of the fact that this vessel is nearly 40 years old, it is in remarkably good condition and with some attention to the forgoing, the undersigned would consider the hull sound and seaworthy for service in protected, inland and near shore waters.” The name of the boat, About Time, is aptly named for the hours of enjoyment this craft will provide you. It is easily single handed and can hold 6 comfortably. I must sell her before September and will entertain all reasonable offers. Equipment: Yanmar 1GM10 9hp diesel inboard (2007) (210 hours) Raymarine instruments Tiller steering Shore power and cord Furlex roller furling headsail system Spinnaker gear Whisker pole Boom vang LED Cabin lights. (5) Jack Stands Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
