S2 8.0 literature

[dorourke]

Greg,
I'm taking noats and what you tell me seems to fit all the hardware I have on the boom. That confirms it for me. Thanks again as always.

Sorry Greg. That would be NOTES. I can't spell but I can do math very well.

I just bought a 1980 8.0 and would appreciate any manuals/specs/brochures that anyone could share. Email is dan_campbell@hotmail.com

Dan, I have the manual that came with by boat when I purchased it in 77 on line as does dorourke, I will try to send you a copy tomorrow from work if you want it. What type 8.0 meter do you have? Where is the boat located.
Be Safe, Welcome

Dan, What do you have for an engine?, inboard or outboard? I have all the Zypher saildrive parts catalog and maintainence manuals for the S2 8.0's in E-files I can send email. Do you need one?

[dorourke]

By the way! How fast does the S2 8.0 sail? I've heard it does 7 knots regulary. I haven't been able to sail mine to any extent yet to find out.

We have a 1976 8.0A. It is a wonderful boat. Full (4') keel and inboard Yanmar diesel. We have just started our second year of sailing her. I guess our only issue would be the windows, they are one piece formed Lexan. I would love to get my hands on new ones!!

If anybody has any literature, tips, or general comments, I would like to chat with other 8.0 owners.

We had ours going 6-6.5 last night...80% jib full main.

Never had a knot meter on mine but I have it reliably that it has always gone twice as fast as half its speed. as long as i was sailing how fast never seemed important somehow. Be Safe

I have a 1983 S2 8.0B brochure that might get you started on the windows and what material is. I don't think Tiara Yachts has them any more but they might have info on how to get them made. Let me know on the brochure and I can shoot it over to you via email.
