The S2 5.5, also called the Grand Slam 5.5, is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Don Wennersten as a racer and day sailer and first built in 1982. The designation indicates the approximate length overall in meters.[1][2]

The design was the smallest boat S2 Yachts produced and its only dingy model.[3][4]

Production

The design was built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan, United States from 1982 until 1983, with 70 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]

Design

The S2 5.5 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 600 lb (272 kg) and has a small cuddy cabin for stowage.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centerboard extended. With it retracted the boat can operate in shallow water, be beached or ground transported on a trailer.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.0 km/h).[2]
