S2 6.8 is a 22 ′ 4 ″ / 6.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Arthur Edmunds and built by S2 Yachts between 1976 and 1979. 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. CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) The S2 6.8 EXCITER model (shown in the photo) was part of a package that included red and orange accent stripes. A cast iron centerboard was also an option. (draft with board up is the same as the standard model. Draft (BD) is 4.5’. Thanks to Ed Ramsey for supplying corrected information on this as well as a number of other S2 models.

Despite having been designed more than two decades ago, the S2 8.6's styling appears quite contemporary. The boats were well built and finished with care, and they tend to hold their value, so expect to pay from $14,000 to $23,000. Gregg Nestor, a lifelong water rat, is the author of three books about sailboats. Specs.
I have the s2 6.8 and it is hull number 144 one of the last manufactured. I think this is a very high quality boat with a lot of room for a 22 ft. I have a dock on a lockal lake but in January I sail around Key West which requires me to trailer the boat about 1300 miles one way. We also sail on Lake Erie.
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
Production of the 8.5 ran from 1981 to 1983. The boat was replaced by the similar S2 8.6, which continued until S2 stopped making sailboats in 1986. Construction.

Up until the last year of producing sailboats S2 used the metric size to one decimal place for all of thier designs, but they don't really relate to the real lengths. The 6.7, 6.8, and 6.9 are all 22' long. The 6.8 came first, then the 6.7. the 6.9 as just an updated 6.7, but they already used 6.7 & 6.8.

Sailing the S2 9.2 is a treat. In 15 to 17 knots, it heels sharply under the mainsail and 150-percent genoa before settling in to make 5 or 6 knots upwind. Weather helm is noticeable in stronger gusts, but the boat is generally well balanced and always manageable, even in lumpy seas. All in all, the S2 9.2 is a well-designed, tough, and able 30 ...

3,269. S2 9.2A Winthrop, MA. Mar 31, 2013. #3. To be frank, I am 6 feet and after shopping 28 O'days for a while it only took me five minutes aboard to know it was too small. I bought a 9.2A.
