Bob: I believe that it was I you met in Ensenada as I was helming a Swan 53. Belongs to a friend of mine! There has been some conversation here regarding the S2 9.1 SE. S-2 built four Special Editions. 2 were outboards and two were inboards. I own a 9.1 Special Edition called Wetfoot that is hull number 118. It is an inboard and is sailed out of Sandusky Ohio. I purchased the boat new (after a MORC regatta) in California. It was actually purchased in Memphis from an S-2 dealer and sailed on Pickwick Lake for a about 3 years. I relocated to Ohio and moved the boat to Sandusky about 11 years ago. The boat has been kept since and participates in local and ocaissional away regattas. We won class with her at the 93 MORC Nationals in Sandusky! We have been quite competitive with her and have taken a few flags with her over the years! The boat seems to have slight advantage over regular 9.1's in light air but as the wind pipes up it can be any 9.1's race. (in my opinion) I still own her as I have yet to find another boat as competitive as well as comfortable! Other 9.1 S.E.'s have been sited in Kansas, upstate New York and Annapolis. They may have since been purchased and moved. For anyone with questions, you can e-mail me at Wetfoot18@AOL.Com Roger |
