S2 Yachts, founded by Leon Slickers in Holland, Michigan, produced the 7.9-meter sailboat specifically for one-design racing and trailerable versatility.1:15 Designed by Scott Graham and Eric Schleigeter, the 26-foot vessel features a balsa-cored hull and deck, with later models utilizing epoxy resin for improved strength and weight.5:19 The boat offers a shallow draft of just over one foot with its daggerboard retracted, allowing for ramp launching and easy transport behind a standard vehicle.6:58 While the 7.9 provides more interior space and a larger cockpit than competitors like the J/24 or Olsen 25, its construction—including a hull-to-deck joint screwed through the toe rail—is optimized for Great Lakes racing rather than blue-water conditions.11:34 Owners typically power the boat with an outboard motor, such as a Tohatsu, though inboard BMW diesel options exist.8:42 The class maintains a dedicated racing community, which contributes to the boat's high resale value and limited market availability.12:03
