575:, writer Richard Smith, stated of the design's sailing qualities, "Sailing the S2 9.2 is a treat. In 15 to 17 knots, it heels sharply under the mainsail and 150-percent genoa before settling in to make 5 or 6 knots upwind. Weather helm is noticeable in stronger gusts, but the boat is generally well balanced and always manageable, even in lumpy seas. All in all, the S2 9.2 is a well-designed, tough, and able 30-footer with good performance for racing or cruising." In describing the design highlights he wrote, "the S2 9.2 stands out, mainly because it wears its age very well. Without a scoop transom and boarding steps or skinny portlights below the sheer, it still looks modern. The flat sheer, sloping deckhouse, almost-flush Lexan forward hatch, hinged anchor lid, and tinted deadlights are familiar features on boats built three decades later."
568:, Jack Hornor noted. "the 9.2 model ranks as a very successful design by any boat builder’s standard and the most successful of the cruising designs built by S2." On its sailing characteristics, Horner wrote: "The sailing performance of the 9.2 is acceptable although not spectacular. With a relatively low aspect keel and skeg forward of the rudder, wetted surface is greater than the comparably sized Catalina or Pearson 30s. Typically the PHRF rating of the standard keel version of the 9.2 is about six seconds slower per mile than the Pearson 30, and about 15 seconds slower than the tall rig Catalina 30. The worst performance can be expected from the center cockpit model with shoal draft. This model tends to make considerable leeway when sailing to weather."

little re-rigging or upgrading is likely to be needed ... The boat sails reasonably well. The one we were on, however, would not go to weather decently—a combination of the shoal draft and a well-worn suit of sails. On other points, the boat was respectable. Close and broad reaching, it moved very well and was just a bit sluggish running."

review described the boat, saying "...‘adequate’ would be a good way to describe the sailing performance of the 9.2. The boat came with a deck-stepped Kenyon spar and North sails as standard, later with Hall or
Offshore spars. The rigging and other sailing hardware was good enough in quality that

is on the starboard side and has a shower and a small tub, along with a pressurized water supply. The master cabin is aft on the center cockpit version, with a forward "V"-berth in the bow, as well as a dinette settee that can be used as a berth. There is also a small settee that is sized for

In a 1992 review
Richard Sherwood noted, "the raised deck indicates that this S2 is intended primarily for cruising. For a boat of this size, there is a lot of space below. The ballast/displacement ratio of 41 percent indicates that she will be stiff and, with her center cockpit, dry."
