Description
A Durable, Affordable Cruiser!
Welcome aboard Windsong, a 1983 S2 8.5 that is ready to sail away today. S2 sailboats are known for their high-level of build quality and styling that was distinctly ahead of their time. Many of these boats are cruised and competitively sailed today. Windsong is fortunate to have a diligent owner who has taken good care of her through the years and who has kept detailed records. Notable upgrades include a full suite of new B&G electronics and a new Standard-horizon VHF with DSC. Additionally, those looking for a good turn of speed will appreciate her smooth, VC-17 finish below the waterline.
The boat features traditional tiller steering, a large cockpit, and a warm interior that features teak and upholstered surfaces, rather than exposed fiberglass. A pilot berth to starboard accommodates two, while a central saloon provides port and starboard settees and a fold-down table. These settees can also serve as additional crew berths. Forward, a head and sink compartment can be used in a day head configuration, or as an owner’s cabin when combined with the forward V-berth.
For those looking for a budget-friendly, carefully maintained boat that is ready right now, Windsong is worth your consideration.

Patrick Kelly grew up on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio and has been on the water since he was a teen. While attending The Ohio State University, he was a member of the sailing team, competing around the midwest. Boating has been a way of life for Patrick; he participates on several racing crews, and holds a USCG Master License. In addition, he is an FAA licensed commercial pilot.
When not racing, Patrick enjoys cruising around the great lakes with his partner Jennifer and their children. Though Patrick is a member of the RCR Team, he started as a customer, having purchased multiple boats through RCR. "The expertise RCR provides is impressive, and I hope to provide the same level of service excellence to my customers."
