S2 10.3 — Proven Cruiser-Racer with Character and Capability
A boat that can race midweek, take the family cruising on the weekend, and have room for everyone aboard.
There are plenty of boats that are good racers and plenty that make comfortable cruisers. The S2 10.3 is one of those rare designs that genuinely does both—and EauZone has spent the past 15 years proving it on Lake Ontario.
Built by S2 Yachts in Holland, Michigan and designed by the respected team of Graham & Schlageter, the S2 10.3 was conceived around a simple but difficult-to-achieve goal: combine genuine sailing performance with the comfort and practicality needed for cruising.
EauZone is a particularly authentic example of that philosophy. The current owners purchased her in 2011, and she has been actively sailed, raced, cruised and cared for throughout their ownership. This vessel has never been a "dock queen". Before us, she also had a history of owners who appreciated her versatility, with a mix of racing and cruising use.
The owners recently purchased a J/109 to continue their racing and cruising lifestyle.
Proven on the Race Course
EauZone isn't a cruiser with a racing sail or two. She's a proven racer that has also been set up to cruise.
Over the years, she has competed in club racing, local regattas, shorthanded events and long-distance offshore-style racing, including the Lake Ontario 300. There are flags, medals and trophies to support this.
The S2 10.3 has the performance to be competitive while remaining relatively forgiving and predictable—an appealing combination for sailors who want to enjoy racing without turning the boat into a full-time project.
She comes with a good inventory of sails, including:
2012 UK TapeDrive Main
2012 UK TapeDrive 155% #1 Genoa
2012 UK TapeDrive 100% #3 Jib
Two symmetrical spinnakers
#4 storm jib for offshore racing
Racing sheets, control lines, spinnaker gear, and associated equipment
And Then There's the Cruising Side...
This is where the S2 10.3 really separates itself from many performance-oriented boats of the era.
The interior is surprisingly accommodating for a 34-foot sailboat, with a layout capable of sleeping seven, including two pilot berths. In fact, the current owners have managed to sleep eight aboard—two adults and six kids between the ages of 6 and 12—on family cruising trips.
She's been our platform for countless weekends away and family adventures. The accommodations aren't overly complicated or fussy; they're practical, functional and exactly what you want when the goal is to spend time sailing rather than worrying about the boat.
The cockpit is equally versatile. It works well for racing, but there's also plenty of room to relax, enjoy a meal or entertain when cruising.
And for easy meals aboard, a propane BBQ/grill is included.
A Versatile Sail Inventory
One of the best features of EauZone is that you don't have to compromise between racing and cruising.
In addition to the racing inventory, she comes with a separate cruising sail inventory including a Dacron Main, Dacron ~135% #2 furling genoa, and Dacron #3 jib.
That gives the next owner the flexibility to choose how they want to sail the boat—from relaxed family cruising to a serious race program.
A Solid Platform with Some TLC Required
EauZone is a 1985 sailboat, and we're not going to pretend she's a brand-new boat.
Structurally and fundamentally, she is a sound and capable platform, but there are a few items that the next owner should address. For the right buyer, that's also part of the appeal: this is an opportunity to acquire a proven S2 10.3 at an attractive price, then invest selectively in the areas that matter most to you.
Who Is EauZone For?
EauZone is an especially good fit for someone who wants:
A true dual-purpose racer/cruiser
A boat with genuine sailing performance
Comfortable accommodations for family cruising
The ability to race competitively without owning a dedicated race boat
A proven platform for shorthanded or long-distance sailing
An affordable entry into competitive sailing
A boat they can improve and personalize over time
Most importantly, she is a boat that has actually been used for all of these things.
The Bottom Line
The S2 10.3 is one of those boats that can make a lot of sense for a sailor who doesn't want to choose between performance and comfort.
EauZone has the racing pedigree, sail inventory and performance to be genuinely fun around the race course, while her seven-berth interior and practical cruising setup make her equally capable of family adventures and extended weekends away.
She's not perfect—and is priced accordingly. But she is a proven, capable and versatile sailboat with a lot of sailing left in her.
If you're looking for an affordable boat that can race, cruise, accommodate the family and give you plenty of opportunities to make her your own, EauZone deserves a look.
More pictures and 360-degree virtual tour photos coming soon.
