12 / 36 - score 55%
The S2 55 is a 18.0ft fractional sloop designed by Don Wennersten and built in fiberglass by S2 Yachts (USA) between 1982 and 1983.
70 units have been built.
The S2 55 is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
