Low ownership costs. • Asking $3,900, open to offers I searched long and hard for this boat as it combines a particular blend of features I was looking for. As a longtime racer, I wanted a boat that was responsive and fun to sail, but the realities of storage meant that I needed something with a shallow draft and that was trailerable. This is the only boat in the size range with these features. It draws only 10” of water with the keep up, but nearly 5’ with it lowered completely. It is very responsive and fun to sail, with a PHRF rating of 210, very good for a boat this size. It is easily trailerable with a midsized SUV or even strong Minivan, saving on storage and maintenance costs. It is very easy to handle with limited and inexperienced crew, and is very forgiving. 22' LOA hull; 18'9" LWL; 8' beam; 2200 lb displ; fully retracting keel (the 6.9 draws 4'6" with LK down, 10" full up); Sailplan: (main =127 SF; class jib 102). The 6.9 has 770 lbs ballast: 430 lbs in the LK, 340 glassed in the bilge. The cockpit is nice and open, easy for 4 people for day sailing. The boat does sleep 4 with 2 in the V berth and 2 in the side berths. For an amazingly in depth review of this great boat, read Bob Proctor’s review on Sailnet: Sailnet S2 6.9 review

Equipment:

I bought this boat in June 2006, and brought it to Cape Cod, after living it’s entire life in the Chesapeake Bay. The boat had been out of the water for 2 years as the previous owner bought it as a small project and then sold it when he found a good deal on this boat’s larger brother, the S2 7.9. The previous owner had removed the carpeting from the interior of the boat and done a quality paint job inside, making the boat much lower maintenance, lighter in weight, and easier to keep clean and must-free. He replaced some of the soft balsa core in the cabin top, which is nice and solid. He had also removed all of the bottom paint and repaired several blisters (there weren’t many, unlike some other balsa cored hulls). I finished the bottom job by sealing the bottom with a coat of West System Epoxy, followed by 5 coats of Interlux 2000E barrier coat. This was topped off by 3 coats of Interlux ACT ablative bottom paint. This boat is nice and dry and the new owner should have no worries about the bottom, the biggest issue to look for when looking at these boats. With a good cleaning, it was ready for the water. Exterior This boat has a full set of sails, with a good condition main, and 3 jibs, a #1, #2, and #3 all in good to very good condition. There is also a mid weight spinnaker and spinnaker pole. All lifelines are in good condition, with lifeline cushions for the cockpit area. All rigging is in good condition. Gelcoat is in good condition with a bit of dock rash here and there, as expected on a 25 year old boat. The boat is wired for an Autohelm 1000, with a speed gauge in the cockpit, and a transducer hole ahead of the keel. The V berth cusion has been replaced with a genuine Tempurpedic mattress, cut to fit. This is exceptionally comfortable, I wish my mattress at home were this comfortable. All the other cushions are there and in place, though the original covers were in poor condition and were removed and discarded before I bought the boat. I have simply covered them with sheets, which are easy to wash take care of. The boat comes with a trailer of unknown origin. The trailer is in fair condition, but has recently had both hubs and bearing sets replaced with quality parts. Trailer construction is a C channel painted steel with 4 bunks to support the boat. The tongue extends for easy launching even at shallow ramps. I never had a title for the trailer, but only used it locally, so I never needed to register it, and most states make it easy to register it as a home made trailer. I would call this a good local trailer, though I did tow it up from Maryland to Cape Cod with no problems, and the frame is strong and in good condition. The suspension is a bit rusty and the tires are old, but hold air well.
