Design
The S2 11.0 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and wooden trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel and 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Universal, Volvo, Pathfinder or Yanmar diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 70 U.S. gallons (260 L; 58 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 80 U.S. gallons (300 L; 67 imp gal).[1]

Operational history
In a 1994 review of the 11.0 C Richard Sherwood wrote, "the 11.0 C model ... has the same underwater lines as the 11.0 A. There is substantial weight and a broad beam for stability. The deep keel and rudder help track off the wind. The center cockpit has become very popular for cruisers, and the 11.0 has a big one."[4]
