A Durable, Affordable Cruiser!
Welcome aboard Windsong, a 1983 S2 8.5 that is ready to sail away today. S2 sailboats are known for their high-level of build quality and styling that was distinctly ahead of their time. Many of these boats are cruised and competitively sailed today. Windsong is fortunate to have a diligent owner who has taken good care of her through the years and who has kept detailed records. Notable upgrades include a full suite of new B&G electronics and a new Standard-horizon VHF with DSC. Additionally, those looking for a good turn of speed will appreciate her smooth, VC-17 finish below the waterline.
The boat features traditional tiller steering, a large cockpit, and a warm interior that features teak and upholstered surfaces, rather than exposed fiberglass. A pilot berth to starboard accommodates two, while a central saloon provides port and starboard settees and a fold-down table. These settees can also serve as additional crew berths. Forward, a head and sink compartment can be used in a day head configuration, or as an owner’s cabin when combined with the forward V-berth.
For those looking for a budget-friendly, carefully maintained boat that is ready right now, Windsong is worth your consideration.
