About International 14

The International Fourteen is one of the world’s premier sailing classes. It is a two-person, two trapeze skiff, with an unlimited area asymmetric spinnaker and 200 square feet of combined mainsail and headsail area. Carbon hulls and carbon rigs, with square-head mainsails, and foiling rudders, provide exceptional performance. While the relatively open class rules leave plenty of room for experiment, encouraging innovation. The Fourteen is for sailors looking for a fast, challenging boat in which they can develop their own ideas while sailing in the company of a group of like-minded, open and welcoming competitors.

The Fourteen is the oldest International dinghy class, having been granted the status by the then IYRU in 1928. Yet the roots of the class go back even further, to the sailing of various 14 foot dinghies/skiffs in various locations around the world in the late 1800’s. This gives the class its fantastic sense of history – and to sail a Fourteen has always been to sail something special.

Despite the history, the development nature of the class means that the boats themselves have always been at or near the forefront of small boat technology. While International status has meant that the class has played a key role in spreading ideas worldwide. Over the years, the Fourteen has been a major driver of both the development, and international adoption, of new ideas affecting all aspects of dinghy/skiff design.

Today the Fourteen is one of the most challenging, exciting, technical and ultimately satisfying boats to sail. Fourteens, the class saying goes, are forever; once you’ve tried one, no other boat will be quite the same.

Boats Produced: 1000’s of International 14’s have been produced since the boats inception 100 years ago, with 100’s of modern rules boats available in North America and worldwide

INT 14 AT A GLANCE

A HIGH-PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT SKIFF

The International 14 is a 14 foot twin trapeze racing dinghy sailed in many countries around the world. It is a development class being controlled by a set of rules that allow for innovation and changes in hull and rig design as long as they fall within a set of specific limitations. The class has permitted its rules to be revised at various times in its history in order to keep the class at the forefront of dinghy racing development. Modern  boats weigh little, have unlimited asymmetric spinnaker size, square top fully battened mainsail, an adjustable carbon rig and a hydrofoil rudder.

Ovington Boats has a long history of building the International 14, along with Chris Turner who joined in 2005. We are building boats to the latest Beiker 6 design.

International 14

International 14 is a 14 ′ 0 ″ / 4.3 m monohull sailboat built by Ovington Boats Ltd. starting in 1928.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Spinnaker (typical size) 32 sq. m. Dimensions are only based on class limits. The International 14 is a high performance 2-Man, development racing dinghy with a long history of performance developments that often been adopted in the design of later boats. For example it became one the earliest trapeze dinghys in 1938. Twin trapezes were adopted in 1984 to increase the sail carrying power and ease the handling of the large asymmetric spinnakers. In 1996, the international version merged with the ‘Aussie’ version(orginally with slightly diferent rules). Today, with hiking racks, a giant flat head main, and it’s ‘skiff’ like hull, an up-to-date racing model bears little resemblance to the boats of even 20 years ago.

USA test for International 14 Worlds

Published on May 24th, 2018 by Editor -->

The US International 14 class will compete for its National Championship title on May 26-28 in San Francisco, CA.

The I-14 is a development class dating back to the early 1900s with big names over the years, such as Uffa Fox, Bruce Kirby, Stuart Walker and StFYC’s Alan Laflin, Jim Holmes, Peter Szasz, Chris Boome and Zach Berkowitz. Dick Watts sailed on the early I-14 when they resembled small Thistles, with skinny rails and no trapeze.

Competitors will be face off along City Front for the Founder’s Trophy (US National Champion), the President’s Trophy (US National Distance Race Winner) and additional perpetual trophies for First Female, Wind Master’s Trophy (oldest combined age) and the Avenger’s Trophy (best team with an older boat).

Although the I-14 is the oldest One Design class to be recognized by World Sailing, it’s a class that’s inspired feats of innovation and creativity. “They’ve always been 14 feet, but the development aspect has led to a lot of firsts in sailing, such as asymmetrical spinnakers, Cunninghams and more. It was the first dinghy to have a double trapeze,” said US I-14 Class President Terry Gleeson.

“It’s really been a cutting-edge fleet at the forefront of sailing. Compare them to many other dinghy classes, which still look like they were designed in the 70s – and today our I-14s look more like mini TP52s.”

The only hard and fast rules are the 14-foot boat length, 9-foot sprit length, fixed 25-foot mast length, a combined main and jib sail area and only one hydrofoil – almost everything else is open to experimentation. Lightweight carbon fiber hulls with unlimited spinnaker area means the boats hit 20+ knots downwind and 12-13 knots upwind.

With the 2018 I-14 World Championship to be held later this season on the eastern section of San Francisco Bay, known as the Richmond Rivera for its warmer climate, the Nationals venue along the City Front heightens the test with stronger winds and currents.

“These boats literally get blown out of the water at about 25 knots so you can get in trouble,” notes local Mike Lazzaro. “Just getting in and out of the harbor can be tricky. You have to budget enough energy to get home because there’s a lot of short tacking required.”

The challenge of sailing these boats is part of their charm, as is their lower cost and longevity. “A lot of people don’t realize you can sail these boats until you’re over 65,” shared Lazzaro. “It’s not really age dependent; it’s about your skill level. You can have a lifetime’s worth of skiff sailing cheaper than a year of doing an Olympic campaign on a boat like the 49er.”

Gleeson finds the challenge of the boat parts of its attraction. “There’s tremendous camaraderie in the class because we all realize how difficult the boats are to sail. I saw that right away and it’s kept me involved. That, and the boats travel easily. We can fit nine in a shipping container and go anywhere.”

The Beauty and Brawn of the International 14 Fleet

• Post author: Kara
• Post category: Sailing
• Reading time: 28 mins read

They told me the I14 was a tough boat, but when the opportunity arose to spend a long weekend racing that sliver of carbon fiber on the sparkling turquoise waters of Oahu’s Kaneohe Bay , I was all in. That there would be a hand-carved Koa wood trophy for the first woman in the 2016 Pac Rim Championships was just a bonus.

Arriving in Hawaii, I meet my competition: Women from Australia, Italy, the mainland, and a couple of locals. The youngest woman was 23, the oldest, well, quite a bit older than that. Among my own friends and family, they think I’m pretty daring (and kind of crazy) for wanting to swing around on a skiff trapeze, not to mention that I’m a girl. In Hawaii, I met women of all provenances who are far more daring than I.

What is an I14?

For those of you that don’t know what an International 14 is (and I’m sure there are many—I had no I idea what it was until I saw one), it’s a 14-foot skiff, which is kind of like the very light jet of the sailing world (the HondaJet to Oracle’s fighter jet).

Elise Leroux making it look easy downwind. Photo: Courtesy of Pasha Hawaii

It has a mainsail, jib, and a huge masthead spinnaker. It’s sailed by two people, a driver and a crew, both wearing a trapeze harness, and more often than not, flying over the water on said trapeze, kite sheet in hand, ideally with one shoulder just a few inches from the water’s surface.

The I14 is not a one-design Olympic class boat like the 49er skiff ; it’s a box design development class boat (kind of like the America’s Cup rule). That means that no two boats on the water are exactly the same. They can be customized and improved as much as one wants, as long as they don’t exceed certain parameters like a minimum hull weight and maximum mast height. Perfect for engineers and tinkerers.

Big breeze and flat water

We had been invited to Hawaii by long-time I14 fleet members and regatta organizers Andy and Maureen Bates, whom we knew from the 2015 Transpac race on Adrenalin . We’d been enticed out there by the promise of big breeze and flat water. While the breeze never fully materialized, the surface of the water was as flat as can be—very different from sailing on San Francisco Bay—and very warm. Which was good, because in my limited experience of skiff sailing, I don’t think I’ve ever dumped the boat over as many times in such a short amount of time.

Many competitors were drawn to Kaneohe Bay by the promise of big breeze and flat water, and the views weren’t bad either. Elise Leroux driving the boat with the yellow kite; Maddy Kennedy crewing on the boat with the red kite. Photo: Courtesy of Pasha Hawaii

The I14 isn’t my first skiff; I’d been sailing an RS800 , which is a slightly less- powered-up and more forgiving one-design skiff very popular in the UK, on the San Francisco Bay for almost four years when I got the news that my skiff partner had traded up for a new I14.

The boat, a shiny new Bieker 6 built by Kris Henderson, arrived in San Francisco on a truck from Seattle one early January morning. We’d only sailed it twice before it had to be packed up and loaded into a Pasha Hawaii container.

We got to Kaneohe Bay the Thursday before the weekend regatta. We sailed an hour or so that first evening after putting the boat together, and almost four hours on our second practice day. By the time we got off the water on Friday afternoon, I was dehydrated, bruised, and had a huge blister tearing across the palm of my left hand.

And I still had four days of actual racing to go.

I’ll admit, the thought did cross my mind at least once that evening… Why did I want to do this again?

The competition

I wasn’t the only woman new to the I14s that weekend. Freya Vickery says she’s been to just about every single I14 regatta since she was born—23 Australian nationals and six worlds—but it was the first one she got to race in.

“I told my dad in Toronto, I’ve had enough of this. I’m sick of sitting on the sidelines, I want to get involved,” she recalls. She grew up sailing a range of dinghies: optimists, 420s , 29ers , Hobie 16s , and a B14 .

“My dad was so happy, I think he’s been waiting his whole life for me to say that.”

She raced in Hawaii with her dad who is 61 and has been sailing since he was 20.

“He loves his I14 sailing!”

Maddy Kennedy, a recent graduate of the University of Hawaii, is even newer to the boat. “I’m a sailing instructor at the yacht club. Andy [Bates] found me one day and he needed a crew.” Maddy grew up in Minnesota sailing dinghies and raced FJs in college, but she says the I14s are a lot more fun. “I’m hooked.”

Simona Saccani, a native of Italy who lives in France and now sails out of the U.K. was the veteran of the fleet in Hawaii, at least on the women’s side. She’s been sailing I14s since 2000, when her boat partner Dominic Van Essen, decided to start a new fleet on Lago Maggiore in Ascona, Italy . “He had recruited a bunch of people, we were all working together in the same institute as scientists. So we built up a mini fleet over there.”

Elise Leroux was the veteran female representative from Hawaii. A native mainlander, she says the “short version” of the story is, she visited for a week in the late 1990s, and pretty much never left. In 2004, she was doing bow on a Farr 1020 when a rival bowman said, “Hey, I just bought this great boat…”

“I came out one weekend to sail with him. We did a lot of swimming, but we had some great rides,” she recalls. “We sailed together for a year until he left town. No one needed crew, so it was either buy the boat or stop sailing I14s.” Elise bought the boat.

There were a couple of other women in the regatta with similar stories: My husband really wanted a 14; my dad grew up sailing them and now so do I. It seems that in just about every case it was a man who dragged these women into this boy’s club. I started to wonder, why?

“I guess the guys, somehow, they like the women around,” says Simona. “They treat us like little princesses. I like women, but I don’t like girlies. To be with the men is easy, and the other girls that are around, they’re like me, so it’s perfect.”

I believe I can fly…

So what’s the attraction of I14 sailing? Well, first of all, there’s that aspect of flying.

“When you’re flat on the wire and you’re in control, you feel like you’re flying,” says Italian I14 sailor Simona Saccani. Photo: Kai Andrade

“The excitement that you have sailing downwind—you don’t have that with other boats. You go so fast, it’s so amazing. When you’re flat on the wire and you’re in control, you feel like you’re flying,” says Simona.

The I14 is a very narrow boat with a very tall mast, proportionally. So even in light breeze, at least the crew can generally be out on the trapeze.

Freya told me that sailing in Australia is a lot like sailing in San Francisco Bay, with big breeze and huge chop. Sometimes you’re really knocked around. In Hawaii, the flat water makes sailing feel as smooth as a summer breeze. The I14 can plane in as little as eight knots, and sailing it feels like skimming across the surface of a bed of silk.

“I love the flat water. The flat water is amazing. I’m so glad to get this chance to sail at this magical place,” says Freya.

To drive or crew

It’s commonly understood that the best configuration for a mixed crew to sail a skiff or small catamaran, is for the man to crew and the woman to drive, which I suppose leverages masculine strength and feminine finesse. My skiff partner and I have always known we were doing it “wrong” since he drives and I crew, but in sailing, for me, there’s nothing better than trimming the kite and he likes to drive.

Like father like daughter: Freya Vickery crewing for her father. Photo: Courtesy of Pasha Hawaii

In Hawaii, I was surprised to discover that just about all of the women were crew. “Dad wants me to crew because he can’t crew,” says Freya. “It gets pretty hectic skippering, but hopefully one day I’ll get into it.”

Elise Leroux was the only female driver at the Pac Rim this year. Photo: Courtesy of Pasha Hawaii

Elise was the only driver. When she bought her own boat, she had two other women, Maureen Bates and Heather MacCafrey, come out to crew for her. “They took a beating because I was not very good, but we had a great time and I still love doing it.”

Simona on the other hand, says she prefers to crew. “I get too stressed when we go downwind, I don’t feel good to drive the boat. We tried to switch, but for me it’s much more stressful. I feel relaxed if I have the main and do the hard jobs.”

I would tend to agree. As long as you can trust your driver, crewing is the much more physically demanding, but far less stressful position. However, I wasn’t the only one to mention how tired I was at the dock.

“I think after yesterday I don’t know if there’s a time I’ve been more tired after a regatta. The four-lapper—it was about all I could do to get the kite up and back down,” says Maddy. And then she hastily adds, “I’d definitely do it again though.”

It’s not all work

Even more than the smooth water and the chance to fly, everyone told me that what keeps them in the class is the welcoming community.

Left to right: Elise Leroux says one of the things she loves about the I14 community is how supportive everyone is, but on the water, it’s every sailor for herself!; Group shot of regatta participants after the boats were packed back into the Pasha Hawaii containers for the trip back to the mainland; the I14s enjoyed four days of spectacular racing on Kaneohe Bay. Photos: left and right courtesy of Pasha Hawaii, center:Maureen Bates.

“I love the 14 fleet because it’s just fantastic—young and old, we’re all partying together. I went backpacking around the world and camped at every 14 sailor’s house around America and Germany. It’s just a really good fleet to get involved with,” says Freya.

And it’s not just partying—the fleet truly wants to help newcomers get started.

“It’s a really supportive fleet. Both this whole group here and locally. If I need help fixing my boat, there are people willing to help me or give me advice,” says Elise.

In Europe, Simona says the atmosphere is similar. “The class is really welcoming in general. You feel easy. Everybody’s helping, it’s a nice atmosphere. It doesn’t matter your level, you have your own race within the big race. We are at the bottom of the fleet, but we have fun anyway.”

A personal trophy

I didn’t win the hand-carved Koa half-model; Freya did, and it was a job well done. I did get my own trophy in the roast though, a Viking helmet from our host Andy Bates for being the “toughest girl in the race.” I was purple polka-dotted by the end from climbing back in after we’d capsized the boat, and I’m not going to lie, there were a few times, like when sailing to a mile marker out in the ocean along a reef that just happens to be one of the largest breeding grounds in the world for hammerhead sharks, I was pretty terrified.

But would I do it again? Definitely.

And not just because flying on a trapeze along turquoise water under a clear blue sky is an experience to be repeated as many times as possible, but for the chance to hang out with this incredible group of women, our own fleet within the fleet.

I’ve had experience in many kinds of boats and have done many kinds of sailing, from trans-Pacific cruising and racing to around the buoys in dinghys. However I believe that most of what I know about boat design and construction was learned in the International 14 class. The open nature of the rule, the open nature of the sailors, the rapid evolution of the boats, foils and rigs, as well as the excitement of sailing these boats made them a natural for me. In addition, when my boats became successful, I found myself building them for a living over a period of 9 years (while continuing my Naval Architecture work on a part time basis). This taught me many of the challenges on the construction side of producing a performance yacht. My first design to win the World Championships was in San Francisco in 1999 and people sailing my designs have won all but one of the World Championships since then. -Paul

Posted Over 1 Month

International 14 Sailboat Project*****RE-LISTED DUE TO NON-PAYING BUYER****** I bought this to restore to original International racing boat configuration. Listed as a 1970 (date required for listing) but I have no idea when it was built The previous owner wanted simpler rigging and had filled and faired most of the original fitting holes. The fiberglass hull/ deck is almost ready for paint. The original rigging and fittings are included which I had intended to remount, as is the plywood foredeck to use for a pattern for replacement. Sails include the main and two headsails.These boats are very popular and there are many I-14 chapters/ clubs for organized racing. I purchased the trailer separately and had new tires, wheels and hubs installed. All the lighting has been checked and is fully functional. There is also a custom dolly to allow easy positioning for the restoration project. It would be relatively easy to continue the conversion to a more simply rigged day sailor by modifying the original rigging/ fittings and shortening the mast if desired. I don’t have the time or space required to finish this project so am selling it for less than the value of the like new trailer. Local pickup only. Trailer requires 1 7/8" hitch ball. Paypal or cash only.No negative or zero feedback bidders unless you contact me first.USA and Canada only.

Here is a Review from "Practical Sailor" S2 8.5 MeterThe 8.5 is good for cruising the coasts in comfort and style--as long as you like the modern look.When Leon Slikkers founded S2 Yachts in 1973, much of the attention to detail that had previously characterized Slickcraft powerboats—Slikkers’ earlier boatbuilding venture— traveled with him to the new boatbuilding company. In the 13 years S2 sailboats were in production (S2 still makes powerboats), the company produced a variety of modern cruising designs from the board of Arthur Edmunds, all characterized by longish fin keels, freestanding spade rudders, straight sheerlines, and a staggering variety of draft options and cockpit locations. In the early ’80s, S2 reached more for the performance market with the Grand Slam series of small boats, and the 10.3 “offshore racer-cruiser.” These higher performance boats were designed by Scott Graham and Eric Schlageter, well known for their MORC and smaller IOR designs.The S2 8.5 is a 28-footer cast in the company’s traditional mold. Her hull dimensions, sail area, displacement, and general design characteristics put her square in the middle of the modern 28-footers such as the Tanzer 8.5, Newport 28, O’Day 28, and the Pearson 28.The boat’s styling is conventionally modern. She has a fairly straight sheer, fairly high freeboard, and low, raked cabin trunk with dark tinted flush ports. Production of the 8.5 ran from 1981 to 1983. The boat was replaced by the similar S2 8.6, which continued until S2 stopped making sailboats in 1986.ConstructionThe hull of the S2 8.5 is a solid hand layup. Glasswork is excellent, and is noted by owners as one of the main considerations in buying the boat. Gelcoat quality is excellent.Slight roving printthrough is evident, but it is not objectionable. Minor hard spots are visible in the topsides, probably caused by the attachment of interior furniture and bulkheads.The deck molding is cored with end grain balsa, giving a solid feel underfoot as well as providing reasonable insulating properties.S2’s hull-to-deck joint is the basic type that we would like to see adopted throughout the industry. The hull molding has an inward-turning flange, onto which the deck molding is dropped. The joint is bedded in flexible sealant, and through bolted on six inch intervals by bolts passing through the full length slotted aluminum toerail. The joint is also through bolted across the stem.All deck hardware is properly through bolted, although pulpits, cleats, and winches merely use nuts and washers on the underside of the deck, rather than the aluminum or stainless steel backing plates we prefer.Another feature of the hull-to-deck joint is a heavy, semi-rigid vinyl rubrail at the sheerline, quite aptly termed a “crash rubrail” by S2. This will go a long way toward absorbing the shock of the inevitable encounters with docks and the other hard objects that seem to be attracted to the topsides of the typical sailboat. Although this rail is black when the boat is new, it had dulled to a chalky gray on older S2’s we examined.The builder advertises “bronze seacocks on all through hull fittings.” These are not traditional tapered plug seacocks, but are ball valves mounted directly to through hull fittings. A proper seacock—whether it uses a ball valve or a tapered plug—has a heavy flange to allow through bolting to the hull. This is an important safety feature. Should a valve seize, it may become necessary to apply a great deal of leverage to the handle in order to open or close the valve. The deeply threaded through hull stem can easily break under these conditions, and more than one boat has been lost in this manner.We also suggest that seacocks be installed on the cockpit drain scuppers and the bilge pump outlet, both of which may be under water while the boat is sailing. Light air performance would benefit by the fairing in of the through hull fittings, particularly the head intake and discharge, both of which are far enough forward to have a significant effect on water flow past the hull.Ballast is a 3,000 pound lead casting, epoxied inside a hollow keel shell. We prefer an external lead casting bolted to the hull for its shock-absorbing qualities and ease of repair. This preference was reinforced recently when we examined an old Bristol 27 just sold by a friend. The surveyor noticed dampness near the bottom of the leading edge of the keel, which showed slight external damage. Probing the loose putty revealed some abrasion of the glass keel molding. In order to sell the boat, it was necessary to grind away a large portion of the glass at the front of the keel, dry out the ballast, and reglass the lead—a job that took several days of work and cost our friend a fair chunk of money.Much of the boat’s interior structure is plywood, glassed to the hull. Fillet bonding is neat and workmanlike with no rough edges to be found.Chainplates are conventional stainless steel flat bar, bolted to bulkheads and plywood gussets in the main cabin. These are properly backed with stainless steel pads. Due to the fact that the hull is lined throughout with a carpet-like synthetic material, it is not possible to examine the bonding of the chainplate knees to the hull. The stemhead fitting is a stainless steel weldment, through bolted to the deck and hull and reinforced inside the hull with a stainless steel gusset to prevent deflection of the deck from the pull aft of the headstay. We’d like to see a metal backup pad behind this fitting rather than the washers which are used.General construction is thoughtful and well executed, with excellent glasswork, a strong and simple hull-to-deck joint, and reasonably installed hardware and fittings.Handling Under PowerAlthough some early models of the 8.5 used a seven horsepower BMW diesel, the 1982 version employs an eight horsepower Yanmar. These small Yanmars are quite impressive, light in weight and far smoother than the company’s older rockcrushers.Because of the high freeboard and considerable windage of the 8.5, the standard engine is the absolute minimum power plant for the boat. Recognizing this fact, the company offered a 15 horsepower, two-cylinder Yanmar as an option. For another 75 pounds and $1,150, we would want this option on the boat if the ability to get places under power is a real consideration.The extra fuel consumption of the larger engine will scarcely be noticed. The 18 gallon aluminum fuel tank will probably give a range under power of over 250 miles—more than adequate for a 28 foot cruising boat.The fuel tank is located under the cockpit and is securely mounted and properly grounded. There is an easily reached fuel shut off between the engine and tank. Unfortunately, the fuel fill is located in the cockpit sole. Spilled diesel oil turns even the best fiberglass nonskid into an ice skating rink. Fuel fills should be located on deck, where spills can be efficiently washed away.Engine access is via a large removable panel on the inboard face of the quarterberth. This panel lacks any kind of handhold to make it easily removable, which will discourage regular checking of the engine oil. The top companionway step also removes for access, but it’s a long reach to the dipstick.There is no oil pan under the engine. It will be necessary to be very careful when changing oil to keep the bilge clean. We have yet to see anyone change oil and filters on a boat engine without spilling something.With the quarterberth panel removed, access for routine service is excellent. The quarterberth has remarkable headroom over, so that the mechanic will not feel like a trapped spelunker after a half hour of work. Engine removal will require some joinerwork disassembly.Handling Under SailThe S2 8.5 is no slug under sail. Her PHRF rating of 174 to 180 compares very favorably to other boats of her size and type. The Sabre 28, for example, has a rating of 198. The Pearson 28 about 195, and the O’Day 28 about 198.Part of this is no doubt due to the fact that the standard sails on the boat come from the North loft. While North’s OEM sails may not be the vertical cut Mylar-Kevlar wonders that adorn custom boats, they’re a lot better than most.S2 now uses Hall spars. The simple masthead rig is extremely clean, with airfoil spreaders and internal tangs. The boom features an internal outhaul and provision for two internally-led reefing lines, with cam cleats at the forward end of the boom.The deck-stepped mast is mounted in a stainless steel deck plate incorporating plenty of holes for the attachment of blocks. Halyards and Cunningham lead aft along the cabin house top to a pair of Lewmar #8 winches. Lewmar #16s are optional, but hardly necessary.The main is controlled by a six-part Harken rig mounted on the end of the boom, and a Kenyon traveler mounted on the aft cockpit coaming. This will work fine with the tiller-steered version of the boat. With wheel steering, the mainsheet is likely to be a nuisance to the helmsman.Because of the end-of-boom sheeting, a boom vang will be essential for full mainsail control. Ironically, the boat’s drawings show almost mid-boom sheeting, with the traveler mounted on the bridgedeck at the forward end of the cockpit. This is probably a better arrangement, although it heavily loads the center of the boom and requires more sheeting force.Owners of 8.5s have little but praise for the interior of the boat. The cabin has a wide feeling, created by pushing everything outboard. The “chart area” on the plan is a myth, as far as we can tell.Despite the fact that the shrouds are set well in from the rail, the boat lacks inboard headsail tracks. Rather, you are limited to snatch blocks shackled to the toerail track. A six-foot piece of track set inboard of the rail would be a useful addition.Standard headsail sheet winches are two-speed Lewmar #30s. Options include both larger winches and self-tailers, both of which are worth considering for either racing or cruising. The cockpit coamings are wide enough for mounting larger primaries and secondaries.The high-quality rig and sails add to the price of the S2, but they are additions well worth the cost.Deck LayoutThe deck layout of the 8.5 is clean and functional, with no toe stubbers to catch you unawares. There are two foredeck mooring cleats, but no bow chocks. The necessity to lead an anchor line well off the boat’s centerline, coupled with high freeboard forward, is likely to result in a boat which sails around on her anchor or mooring. The 8.5 has a pair of wide stainless steel chafing strips at the bow which will greatly protect the deck from the chafe of the anchor line.The 8.5’s foredeck anchor well is one of the best we’ve seen. It is shallow—just deep enough to hold an anchor and adequate rode. There are double scuppers, which offer less likelihood of clogging. The lid is held on by a full-length piano hinge, and there is a positive latch.The shallow locker well above the waterline means that water is less likely to enter through the scuppers, which can be a real problem with a deep anchor well. When the bow pitches into waves, a deep anchor well can fill with water, and if the scuppers clog with debris, you can find yourself sailing around with several hundred pounds of extra weight in the worst possible position. There is no provision for securing the bitter end of the anchor rode, but a big galvanized eyebolt installed in the well by the owner will solve that one.The running lights leave something to be desired. Their location at deck level just aft of the stem makes them vulnerable to damage when handling ground tackle. We much prefer an international style bicolor mounted on the pulpit, another two feet off the water: easier to see, and out of the way. Wiring for the running lights is exposed in the anchor well, and should be secured out of the way.A recessed teak handrail runs the full length of the cabin trunk, serving the dual function of heavy weather handhold and cabin trim piece. Its shape makes it far easier to oil or varnish than the conventional round handrail, although the wide, flat section seems somewhat awkward after years of grabbing round rails.The 8.5’s cockpit is the maximum size we’d want to see on a boat of this size. The T-shape is designed to accommodate the optional wheel steerer, yielding a somewhat odd layout for the tiller-steered version. A bench seat spans the aft end of the cockpit. Although this makes good seating in port, we doubt that you’d want anyone sitting there under sail: too much weight in the end of the boat. It does make a natural helmsman’s seat for wheel steering.The engine controls and instrument panel are also located at the aft end of the cockpit, and are basically inaccessible to the helmsman of a tiller-steered version.There are two lifting lids in the aft cockpit bench, giving access to a cavernous space under the cockpit. To be useful, dacron bags should be fitted to the inside of these lockers. Then, they’ll be handy stowage for spare sheets and blocks.There are comfortable contoured seats along each side of the cockpit, with a huge locker under the port seat. Although plywood pen boards somewhat separate this locker from the engine space under the cockpit, it would be far too easy for deeply piled junk to get knocked over the board and into the engine. This locker should be partitioned into smaller spaces unless it is to be used exclusively as a sail locker.The battery boxes, fitted at the forward end of the locker, could benefit from plywood or fiberglass lids to keep battery acid off gear which might find its way onto the batteries. The box is designed to take two batteries—one battery is standard—stored in plastic containers. A single lid covering the whole box would be more efficient.The huge cockpit will accommodate up to six for sailing, and eight for in-port partying. The cockpit seat bottoms are contoured, and the cockpit coamings slope outboard for more comfortable seating. However, the seats are both too narrow and too short for sleeping.The forward end of the cockpit is protected by a narrow bridgedeck. However, the cockpit coatings extend a full foot above the level of the bridgedeck, To block the companionway to the level of the top of the coamings will require leaving two of the three drop boards in place when sailing.Although there is moderate taper to the sides of the companionway, making it easier to remove the drop boards, it is still necessary to lift each board about five inches before it can be removed. This is far safer than many tapered companionways, where boards practically fall out if you look at them wrong. The companionway slide is one of the best we’ve seen. It’s a contoured piece of acrylic fitted with a convenient grabrail. It slides easily in extruded aluminum channels, and is fitted with a fiberglass storm hood. As on many boats, the aft cabin bulkhead slopes forward, rendering it impossible to leave the drop boards out for ventilation when it rains.BelowdecksOwners consistently praise the interior design and finishing of S2 sailboats. From looking at the 8.5, it’s pretty easy to see why.There are no exposed interior fiberglass surfaces except the head floor pan molding. The hull and cabin overhead are lined with a carpet-like synthetic fabric. While this will undoubtedly cut down on condensation, we at first wondered how this fabric would hold up over time. Inevitably, the hull liner and even the overhead will get wet. In freshwater areas, this is no problem. The water will eventually evaporate. In salt water, however, wet fabric never seems to dry. Salt draws moisture like a magnet draws steel. Since first seeing this boat, however, we’ve had good experiences with the fabric. Be sure, however, to get a good wet-or-dry vacuum to keep it clean.Interior layout is fairly conventional, with Vberths forward, and immediately aft, a full width head. The head can be closed off from both the forward cabin and the main cabin with solid doors—a real luxury in a boat this size. There is a large hanging locker in the head, and reasonable storage space for toilet articles.The word for the main cabin is “wide,” with the settees pushed as far outboard as they can go. Décor is a little heavy on the teak for our taste, but it is one of the better coordinated interiors we have seen. S2 had a good interior decorator.A fold-down dining table seats four. When folded against the bulkhead, it is held in place by a single latch, which makes us nervous.Neither settee is full length. The foot of the port settee runs under the galley counter, making it long enough for sleeping, although your feet may feel a little claustrophobic in the tiny footwell.The starboard settee is an unusual configuration. The aftermost 12" of the settee folds up to form an arm rest, leaving a gap between the end of the settee and the head of the quarterberth.Inexplicably, this gap is referred to on the accommodation plan as a “charting area,” although there is neither a standard nor an optional chart table. It’s sort of like the designer ran out of energy before completing the interior design.Over the non-existent “charting area” is the best electrical panel we’ve seen on a 28 foot boat. The panel has a locking battery switch, battery test meter, and a panel with room for 14 circuit breakers, although only half are installed on the standard boat.The space is welcome, since with the proliferation of marine electronics most electrical panels are woefully inadequate.Most quarterberths tend to induce claustrophobia. That of the 8.5 is more likely to exacerbate any tendencies you might have to agoraphobia. At last, a quarterberth which will not give you a concussion when you sit bolt upright in the middle of the night after your neighbor drags down on you in a wind shift.The standard main cabin sole is carpet-covered fiberglass. For an additional $325, teak and holly was available for the traditionalist. We’d want it. Unfortunately there is no access to the bilge in the main cabin. None. This is inexcusable, and could be dangerous. A few hours with a saber saw should solve this rather basic problem.The galley is workable and accessible, with no awkward posturing required to do the dishes. The sink gets an A+. It is a full nine inches deep, is large enough to take a frying pan, and mounted close to the centerline.In contrast, the icebox gets a C-. It is larger than normal on a boat of this size, but it drains to the bilge, has a poorly insulated top, and a tiny, uninsulated hatch without a trace of a gasket. Boo.Because of limited counter space, the two burner Kenyon alcohol stove is mounted athwartships, rather than fore and aft. This means that the stove cannot be gimballed, and that it is necessary to reach across the inboard burner to reach the outboard one. Given the fact that countertop gimballed stoves are usually dangerous, the lack of gimballing doesn’t bother us much. What does bother us is that if you want to upgrade the stove to something more functional, the limited space allocated will stretch your ingenuity.A fold down table at the end of the galley counter gives additional counter space, but it must be left up in order to use the port settee for sleeping.Roominess, excellent execution, and good color coordination are trademarks of the interiors of all S2s, and the 8.5 fits well into this enviable tradition.ConclusionsThe S2 8.5 is a good boat for cruising the Great Lakes or any coast in comfort and a certain amount of style. Her appearance may be a little modern for traditionalists, with her straight sheer and European-style cabin windows.Pricey? Yes, but when you look at the things that go into the boat—the rig, good sails, and a comfortable, well finished interior—the price may seem a bit less painful. You still pay for what you get.

She is a full keel vessel that offers a high degree of stability and comfort in any seas The below is my last survey May 30, 2012 Yacht Survey and Condition Report At the request of Mr. Peter M Licnikas the undersigned surveyor conducted a condition and valuation survey of the yacht “GUST-O” a 1978 48 ft Mermaid Ketch sailboat as it lay on jack stands at Yankee Landing Marina Merrimac St, Newburyport, Ma 01951. Name: GUST-O Year: 1978 Builder: Pali Shiang Taipei Hsien, Taiwan Model: Mermaid 42 Ketch Documented: 624951 Hull ID: TAC420251278 Dimensions: LOA 48' LOD 42' Beam 12’2” Draft 6’3” Displacement: 14 net tons Type: Sail Intended Use: Pleasure Hull Graphics and Color: White hull, green bottom Estimated present Value: $71,200.00 Estimated replacement value $245.000.00 Scope of Survey: The purpose of this survey was to estimate the current market value and marine risk evaluation. The survey of this vessel is based solely on careful visual and non-destructive inspection of all accessible portions of its structure and available equipment. Complete inspection can only be made by removal of soles, decking, headliners, ceiling or hull lining, tanks, and joiner work. Complete inspection of machinery, auxiliaries, piping, tanks, systems, electrical wiring, electrical and electronic equipment can only be made by continued operation or by disassembly. This would be damaging in nature and prohibitively time consuming, and therefore was not done. This vessel was surveyed while in lay up at Yankee Landing Marina, Merrimac St. Newburyport, Ma 01951. I visually inspected all sections of the vessel and its equipment detailed in this report. General Description: This hull is a reinforced fiberglass molding hand laid up using alternate layers of mat and woven roven with polyester resin. It is stiffened with web floors, bulkheads and joinery flanges. The hull design incorporates a molded lead filled keel and rudder for ballast. The hull is heavily built and is rigged as a Ketch designed for sail with a 45’ main mast, and 25’ mizzen mast. Bottom: Underwater surfaces were smooth and fair with no signs of damage or recent groundings. The bottom paint was in fair condition. I sounded the entire hull with a phenolic hammer and found no voids, blisters or delamination. I also placed an Electro-physics moisture meter on the hull and found it to be in the acceptable dry range with readings of 15 and less. Through hull fittings were all bronze and appeared original and in good condition, however none were removed for inspection. I observed several through hull fittings that were plugged or partially blocked by barnacles and growth. I recommend the fittings be cored out. The keel is lead filled for ballast rated 9400lbs. The propeller shaft is a 1” in diameter stainless steel supported with a rubber stern bearing with an external housing, all in good condition. I placed a target on the shaft and rotated it. The shaft tracked true within visual tolerances. The rudder is supported at the top with a 1.5” bronze shaft. The shaft and bearings turned smoothly with no signs of wear. Boot top up was white epoxy paint. The paint was in overall good condition with only minor scuffs. I observed one deep scratch on the starboard side that I recommend be repaired to prevent moisture intrusion into the underlying fiberglass. Topsides: Topside teak wood has been removed and replaced with fiberglass with non skid. The topsides were in good condition solid with no signs of moisture or rot. Cabin ventilation is through four Lexan covered 24”X24” teak hatches and four brass 6” air scoops. The life rail was rubber coated stainless steel cable with stainless steel stanchions. All stanchions were well secured and solid. All cleats were stainless and wood in good condition well bedded and solid. The rub rail is teak in good condition. Tanks: The two fuel tanks were rectangle in shape located under the cabin sole. The tanks were aluminum and well secured with proper fill and vents and rated at a total of 88 gallons. Water tanks were rectangle in shape and located under the cockpit sole. The tanks were well secured and fitted with proper vents and fill. The tanks were rated at 110 gallons. Spars & Rigging: Masts and booms are constructed of wood and appeared straight and in good condition. Both masts were rigged with no stretch stainless steel cable and turnbuckles. All rigging was in good condition well secured to the hull and properly tightened. The masts were in need of new paint. Hull Interior: Below decks I removed loose floorboards, opened lockers, and removed drawers for the best inspection of the hull interior and bilge area. I found all bulkheads to be secure with no signs of stress or damage, and the bilges to be in need of a minor cleaning. The interior was finished in custom teak in good condition, and consisted of a V berth forward with full head and shower. To the rear was a salon area consisting of a bench seat on the starboard side and a dinette on the port side. To the rear of the dinette was a galley consisting of a 4 burner natural gas stove with oven, ice box, and double stainless steel sink. The starboard side contained a large chart table with electrical panel. To the rear was a second full head on the starboard side and large master stateroom with queen size bunk. Bilges where sited were generally clean. Bilge pumping was with one super gulper manual pump in the galley. Along with a 12v rule 1500 main pump, and a rule 1000 backup. Steering on board is a pedestal center post with a 3’6” wheel turning a Sea Star hydraulic system rated at 1000 psi. Electrical: The vessels electrical supply is both 120ac powered by a shore power cord only, and 12v. The shore power only powers several outlets. All AC outlets were GFI protected except the outlet near the chart table. I recommend that outlet be changed to a GFI outlet in accordance with ABYC recommended practices. The 12v system not powered up at this time. The 12v wiring was well run, secured, and appropriately sized with a breaker panel and battery selector switch mounted above the chart table in accordance with ABYC recommended practices. The 12 v system was powered with three 800 amp combination starting/house batteries and one 1200 amp and 1000 amp dedicated house batteries. All batteries were in acid proof boxes and well secured located under the aft bunk. Fire Protection: Fire extinguishers consisted of four BC size I. Propulsion Machinery: The yacht power is from a 1978 Perkins 4108 diesel rated at 80 hp. The engine has a 60 amp alternator for charging the starting and house batteries. Engine compartment ventilation was through two 3” intake and exhaust. Engine mounts bolt to steel I beam beds with no apparent signs of movement. Fuel lines are copper hose in good condition. Engine seawater intake is through a bronze ball valve with sea strainer. Engine exhaust is direct to the transom through rubber hose. Fuel filtering is with a Racor filter/water separator in good working order. Lube oil was clean and filled to the proper level. Engine was not running at this time due to winter layup. Engine controls were mounted in the rear cockpit with a single throttle/shift lever with push pull cables. The cables functioned smoothly and were in good working order. THERE IS NO WARRANTY GIVEN OR IMPLIED FOR THE FUTURE USE OR LIFE OF THE ENGINE DESCRIBED HEREIN. Ground Tackle: Ground tackle on board consists of a 40 lb plow type anchor with a good lead of chain and of 5/8” nylon anchor rode. Sail Inventory: 1 mizzen sail 1 mainsail 1 130 jenoa Electronic & Navigation Equipment: Garmin 3210 Plotter/sonar/weather Standard Horizon digital depth sounder Cobra Marine VHF radio Sony Am/Fm/Cassette stereo 1 Ritchie compass Safety Gear: 4 12 gauge Arial flares 8 Type I adult life vests 1 Type V throw ring 3 Type III adult life vests Horn/bell/whistle Conclusion: Overall this vessel appeared very well maintained and in good condition for its age and class. As seen, this vessel would be a considered a suitable marine risk for its intended use of inland, bay, and near costal operation provided all (*) recommendations are complied with, and all U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment is properly fitted.

Other pages could be printed on letter or tabloid size paper, if you want to save printing costs. You'll see a measurement on pages that have full-sized drawings, so your local print shop will just need to print to that size.

Come join the discussion about sailing, modifications, classifieds, troubleshooting, repairs, reviews, maintenance, and more! Looking for information on a 14 foot MFG Pintail Add to quote I haven't posted here in some time. Seems like life just gets in the way sometimes. My C&C 25 is up on the hard for the winter and I'm contemplating selling her. However, I just picked up a neat little sailboat that I can find little information on. This little boat is a 14 foot MFG Pintail, built in the early eighties. It needs a little TLC but everything is there. There are three sets of sails with the latest set only being a about five years old. The deck is weathered and chalked out pretty bad and I'm considering removing all the deck hardware and repainting the deck. Rub-rail is in good shape too. Rudder and keel are in good condition as well. Does anyone know anything about this boat, and if it can be raced in any of the small boat classes? I found online that there used to be a Pintail racing class, but that was 40 years ago. MFG apparently only made about 1800 of these boats during the manufacture period. Any information would be great.   I imagine you've probably already looked here: National Pintail Class Association But from the site it looks like it should be a nice little sailer, strongly resembles the Flying Juniors which the collegiate fleets have been racing for decades.   this has a bit of info, not too much, but a couple of links: PINTAIL Sailboat details on sailboatdata.com   Thanks guys. I have exhausted all the normal research sites and did come across those two before. I was hoping perhaps to find someone here with some firsthand experience with these little boats and or the racing class for them. Here are few shots I took this morning. I don't think it should take too much to get her back in shape.   Attachments yeah, looks like sponge her out and go sailing!   Thats good stuff I was recently given a pintail as a "get it out of my yard and its your's". Thats why I ran accross this. Sail is OK. Jib is OK. needs new lines. I am restoring her, she will live out her next life on Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay. (as soon as I find some spar time). Any input wil be appreciated. Well we know where 2 of the 1,800 are located. Thanks for the Dribble, Mike   I also have a a recently acquired Pintail and have been having a hard time finding more information than what is already listed here. I need to get new lines and am having a hard time figuring out the best rigging for the mainsheet, any ideas? I have a bridle sort of worked out but am not too sure about it... ~Caitlin   I also have an early Pintail, sail number 207. Circa 1969? It has the plywood rather than molded seats and no well for motor. My Dad bought her from the original owner around 1975. Bought from my Dad 10 or 12 years ago. Trying to keep her patched up and have a little fun. Several people have been shocked to find out she's over 40 years old. Best day of sailing ever was on Grand Traverse Bay. I'm living in the Kalamazoo area now and sail mostly on local inland lakes. Original sails have been patched more than once, not worth the cost of new. Want to mount an electric trolling motor for convenience and teach my bride to sail. Want this boat to be a smaller version of the future retirement boat, maybe a 26 ft Macgregor. Have kids and grandkids in the Chicago and Grand Rapids areas. The pintail is a great teaching boat and is easy to rig and handle. Will try to keep her in the family for a long time. Dave G   I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking at a Pintail right now too. It has the wooden seats and when I showed pics on my own thread, someone thought the seats would need replacing totally. Any further experiences with this little boat?   I have a Pintail in good sailing shape -- needs no work and very little TLC -- touchups. I improved the motor mount and the boat moves well (for docking, etc.) with an electric motor and smallish battery (also used for fishing/trolling when wind not cooperating). Trailer with boat for sale. Near Philadelphia. Noted June 2015. Text "amp-a10-jpj1."   I just bought a pintail a few months ago. It's been refurbished a bit, so in good condition and fun to sail (though I really need a new mainsail, the boltrope had shrunk). I'm struggling to come up with a good method for getting the mast up solo. I'm beginning to believe the original step isn't completely there. It has the base, but i wonder if there is supposed to be a bracket that the mast base side pins are supposed to slide into? I wonder if anyone has a picture of their pintail step? I'd appreciate it.   Do you still need a mainsail for your pintail? I have a brand new never used still in bag one. Sandy took out the pintail 4 years ago. We just never found a home for this sail.   Not sure if you received my post since old tread Restoring a Sandi survivor I got it in 1975 Mainsail beat up & rusty from brackish water in Toms River NJ Installed new S/S keel Good against the local Flying Scots Let me know if you can help with the sail for my restoration Dave   Happy to help dig up this old thread! I was just given a Pintail that was in someone's way. I have to make a new rudder, but it is in pretty good condition otherwise. I have heard that they are very slow but it looks like a great family day boat.   ?             175.2K members Top Contributors this Month Find anything you save across the site in your account 14 Best Spray Sunscreens, Tested by Glamour Editors & Approved by Dermatologists By Brigitt Earley Nobody really loves any extra step in their skin care routine , let alone one that might leave you greased up. But that’s why we love the best spray sunscreens so much. It’s hard to complain about something that’s as quick as spritzing your body. “Spray sunscreens can be a good option for large or hard-to-reach areas, as well as the head or scalp, where thicker lotions can be harder to rub in evenly and thoroughly,” says Jody A. Levine, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in New York. “Spray sunscreens are also convenient—it doesn’t take long to apply them to your entire body—and less greasy without residue like that of a lot of lotions.” After testing dermatologists’ top recommended sunscreens of all kinds for more than six months, we’re confident that these are some of the best SPFs out there. During our evaluations, we assessed each one for the most important attributes in a great sun blocker: lightweight consistency, quick absorption rate, no presence of a white cast, and broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher (derms say this is a must for efficacy!). The best spray sunscreens, at a glance Best Overall : Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen , $27 Best Drugstore : Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 , $14 Best With SPF 50 : Hampton Sun SPF 50 Continuous Mist Sunscreen , $32 Best Mineral Sunscreen : EltaMD UV AOX Mist , $34 Best Face Sunscreen : Daily Prevention Protect and Refresh Mist SPF 40 , $22 Your sunscreen spray questions, answered Are spray sunscreens effective, do you have to rub spray sunscreens in, are sunscreen sprays dangerous to breathe in, can you put spray sunscreen on your face. All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission. Best Spray Sunscreen Overall: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen (SPF 70) If you want the convenience of a spray, you definitely want something that’s actually convenient. Read: no need to rub it in forever, and a quick-drying formula. This sheer SPF not only expertly fits the bill but is also available at just about any drugstore. Zaineb H. Makhzoumi, MD , director of clinical services and head of dermatologic surgery and oncology at University of Maryland Medical Center, touts it as both affordable and effective, telling Glamour it’s a good pick for the entire body—scalp included—since it’s 100% clear and lightweight. “I’ve tried dozens upon dozens of spray sunscreens, and this is one of the few that is truly clear as it comes out of the can,” says Glamour contributor Brigitt Earley . “It dries almost instantly too,” she says. “I’m talking 10 seconds or less.” It’s what she reaches for when at the pool with her kids, because she likes it for herself, but also loves the fact that her antsy kids don’t have to wait ages for it to dry. They can get right to playing, she says. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, oxybenzone Water-resistant: 80 minutes Size: 5 oz. What we love: Nongreasy; dries quickly; water-resistant for up to 80 minutes What could improve: May not be the best choice for sensitive skin Best Drugstore Spray Sunscreen: Sun Bum Mineral Sunscreen Spray Sun Bum Mineral Sunscreen Spray (SPF 30 or 50) Sometimes the best sunscreen is one you can find in an instant—like when you’re on vacation and forgot to pack your favorite sunscreen. Thankfully, sometimes the most widely available options are some of the best, as is the case with this spray from Sun Bum. “This mineral-based formula is affordable, very moisturizing, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry or irritated,” says Hannah Kopelman, MD , a dermatologist in New York. “It’s also fragrance-free, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin types.” Like other mineral-based sprays, our testers said, this does come out white, but it rubs in to almost entirely clear. It may leave a slight white cast on darker skin tones, especially if you give up on rubbing after a while. Still, we appreciated the rich formula, since it didn’t leave skin feeling greasy—just adequately moisturized. We also like the fact that this formula comes in SPF 30 or SPF 50, depending on your preferences. Active ingredient: Zinc oxide SPF: 30 or 50 Size: 6 oz. What we love: Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes; available in SPF 30 or 50; slightly larger size than most sprays What could improve: May leave some white cast Best Mineral Spray Sunscreen: EltaMD UV AOX Mist EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen (SPF 40) Over the last six months, we’ve found it’s nearly impossible to talk to dermatologists about sunscreen and not cover EltaMD. Derms love it, editors love it, and our testers love it. Dr. Kopelman calls the brand’s mineral sunscreen spray basically perfect, calling attention to the fact that it’s 100%-mineral-based formula with zinc oxide. “It sprays on so easily, feels smooth and silky on the skin, is moisturizing, is lightweight, and rubs in easily,” she says. “It does not leave any white cast, either.” Testers found this to be largely true. Unlike clear sunscreen, this spray does mist on white and it takes some rubbing, but with a little bit of patience, it eventually soaks in without leaving a white cast. And because you have to pay attention to where you’re rubbing this sunscreen in, it provides excellent overall coverage for greater efficacy. Water-resistant: 40 minutes What we love: No white residue; mineral formula; water-resistant for up to 40 minutes What could improve: Takes some rubbing in Best Spray Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin: Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Spray Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Spray (SPF 50+) We’ve spoken to our fair share of dermatologists about sunscreen for sensitive skin , and a significant portion of them recommend Blue Lizard. “It’s mineral-based and fragrance-free, and doesn’t contain any phthalates and parabens,” says Dr. Kopelman. “Because it’s ideal for sensitive skin, it’s a great sunscreen for both kids and adults.” In our evaluations we found the spray to be nothing short of excellent. It does require a little bit of rubbing in, but we really liked that the formula feels more like a lotion than like your typical aerosol sunscreen. It’s not at all shiny, greasy, or sticky. And it doesn’t have the strong chemical scent you get from some sprays. One tester who has particularly sensitive skin said it was well-tolerated—she didn’t experience any burning, stinging, or reaction. What we love: Mineral formula; safe for sensitive skin; water-resistant for up to 40 minutes; reef-safe Best Spray Sunscreen for Oily Skin : La Roche-Posay Anthelios Spray Lotion Sunscreen La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Spray Lotion Sunscreen (SPF 60) “Sprays do tend to be sticker in texture and consistency on your skin,” says Anna Chacon, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in Miami. “Spray sunscreens can also feel greasier,” she says, which is not ideal for those with oily skin . But Dr. Chacon recommends this formula as an exception to the rule. “This one is oil-free, lightweight, and nongreasy,” she says, calling it a really good option for those with sensitive skin as well, for the same reasons. Breakout-prone testers didn’t report any flare-ups while using this spray. Like some other of our favorite spray SPFs, it does spray on white but rubs in so well that it’s virtually undetectable on skin. The brand says it’s perfectly safe for both body and face, but we suggest using caution on your face. The one complaint we heard is that, even when applying it to hands first, it stung eyes. What we love: Oil-free; safe for sensitive skin; water-resistant for up to 80 minutes What could improve: Some users said it stung their eyes Best Spray Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin: Hampton Sun Continuous Mist Sunscreen Hampton Sun Continuous Mist Sunscreen (SPF 50) For a nonaerosol option that packs a punch of SPF, Ray Kleinfelder, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in Santa Barbara, California, recommends this pick from Hampton Sun. Yes, it’s a bit pricier than some others, but it’s a bag-on-valve spray, which has three big benefits: It uses a less aggressive propellant, the sunscreen and the propellant are housed separately for less risk of contamination, and the spray it delivers is not as cold. “It’s fast-absorbing and reef-safe from a great, newer company,” says Dr. Kleinfelder. We love that it’s oil-free, so it’s suitable for the acne-prone. It’s also hypoallergenic, for those with sensitive skin. And if you’re swimming or exercising, you can count on this pick to be water-resistant for 80 minutes. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate. octocrylene What we love: Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes; high SPF 50; non-aerosol What could improve: More expensive than most Best Spray Sunscreen for Body: Coola Mineral Sunscreen Spray Coola Mineral Sunscreen Spray (SPF 30) Dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD , recommends this sunscreen for the body —especially in those with dry skin —because it counts mostly made of hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and glycerin. It’s moisturizing and won’t parch your skin the way some sprays do, she says. Of course, it also offers ample sun protection (SPF 30), thanks to 14.5% zinc oxide. Our testers love it for its reliability—it’s widely available and works well. “Mineral sunscreens don’t always spray well, because they tend to be thicker,” says Earley. “This one sprayed very evenly and was easy to rub in.” It does, however, tend to leave a bit of a white cast, particularly on those with darker skin. Active ingredients: Zinc oxide, titanium dioxide Size: 5 ounces What we like: Sprays evenly; easy to rub in; contains skin-soothing ingredients What could improve: Tends to leave a slight white cast Best Spray Sunscreen for Face: Daily Prevention Protect and Refresh Mist Daily Prevention Protect and Refresh Mist (SPF 40) The dermatologists we spoke to overwhelmingly recommend applying spray sunscreen to the face via your hands, but this one stands out because Dendy Engelman, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in New York says it applies more like skin care. You can mist it directly onto skin to reap all of the benefits. “It’s a hydrating face mist that, on top of SPF 40, also includes skin-loving ingredients like meadowfoam seed and buriti fruit oil,” she says. “It’s especially great for those with dry skin types, as it will add a boost of moisture along with UV protection.” We like that it’s a clear, dry oil. And as such, it’s super easy to apply on the go and reapply throughout the day for all-day sun protection. You can wear it under or over makeup without ruining your look. Just note that it may not be the best choice for those with sensitive skin, since it does contain ingredients like alcohol. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene Size: 3.4 oz. What we love: Great for dry skin; goes on clear; can be layered with makeup What could improve: May not be suitable for sensitive skin Best Spray Sunscreen for Scalp: Coola Suncare Scalp & Hair Mist Coola Suncare Ocean Salted Sage Scalp & Hair Mist (SPF 30) Coola also makes a great nonaerosol sunscreen spray that our experts say is ideal for protecting the scalp . Yes, it has the SPF 30 protection from UVA and UVB rays that derms recommend, but it also contains monoi oil, a natural UV hair protector. It nourishes strands like proper hair care, too. According to Melanie Palm, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon at Art of Skin MD , the antioxidant-rich formula helps lock in color and strengthen damaged hair. It can also help prevent breakage and boost shine, thanks to panthenol. Our testers told Glamour the product works especially well on thicker hair, but those with finer hair said it can leave locks a little bit greasy if you’re too heavy-handed. The pros recommend applying the product to your hand for more targeted, controlled application if this is a concern. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene Size: 2 oz. What we love: Hydrates hair and protects the scalp simultaneously; water-resistant for up to 80 minutes What could improve: May be too greasy for finer hair Most Popular Spray Sunscreen: Supergoop Play Antioxidant Body Mist Supergoop Play Antioxidant Body Mist (SPF 50) When we poll editors and anonymous testers about sunscreen, Supergoop comes up a lot—and unsurprisingly this spray was a favorite when we reviewed the brand’s products . “The Play mist is incredibly easy to apply: Just spray, rub in, and you’re all set,” our tester said. “And thanks to the added citrus oils—lime, lemon, tangerine leaf—it has a zesty scent that is super refreshing, especially on those humid days.” We like that the formula has a high SPF 50 and is also water-resistant for 80 minutes. On the downside, this can only offers 3 ounces of sun blocker, which is smaller than the average 5-ounce cans. Size: 3 oz. What we love: Great scent; higher SPF; water-resistant for up to 80 minutes What could improve: Smaller than most sprays Best Spray Sunscreen for Travel: Vacation Super Spritz Face Mist Vacation Super Spritz Face Mist (SPF 50) It’s not just the name that makes this sunscreen a great pick for travel; it’s the pint-size 2.2-ounce container that tucks expertly into luggage as small as a personal item. It comes from the trending brand that’s all over TikTok, in some part thanks to the fun, nostalgic branding. But we’re happy to report that our testers think what’s inside the bottle is just as worthy of rave reviews. The chemical sunscreen touts SPF 50 but also includes skin care ingredients that both acne-prone and sensitive skin types can handle: bisabolol, aloe, cucumber, shea oil, maracuja oil, caffeine, banana, coconut, green tea, vitamin E, and ferulic acid. Users say it sprays on completely clear and dries to a matte finish in mere seconds. “My face was dry just as soon as I sprayed the SPF,” our tester told us. “If not for the incredibly yummy tropical scent it leaves behind, I’d second-guess whether I’d actually put any sunscreen on.” This is a favorite of Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle , who took it with her to Ecuador last summer. “I knew I need to reapply during my all-day hike in Quilotoa Lake, and this Vacation sunscreen came in handy. I only wish that the spray was less jetlike and more misty so it’s easier to apply,” says Calle. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, octocrylene, octisilate Size: 2.2 oz. What we love: Suitable for all skin types; entirely clear; dries quickly; great scent What could improve: Because it dries so fast, you have to be careful not to miss any spots Best Sport Sunscreen Spray: Banana Boat Sport 360 Coverage Sunscreen Spray Banana Boat Sport 360 Coverage Sunscreen Spray (SPF 50) Another nonaerosol option, but this time from one of the most classic sunscreen brands of all time. We love this choice for families, because you can hold the bottle any which way and it’ll still spray a perfect fine mist of sun protection in your direction. In tests it did occasionally get jammed up, but a few shakes had it working perfectly again. We also appreciate the refillable design, which cuts down on plastic waste. Because the mist is so fine, the product goes on very evenly. It’s also slightly slick upon application, so you can see exactly where you applied—key for not missing any spots. Still, it absorbs into skin relatively quickly, so kids and adults alike can get back to having fun in the sun. It’s water-resistant for a full 80 minutes, so it’s great for all types of summer water activities just remember to reapply. Active ingredients: Homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, avobenzone Water-resistant: No What we love: Fine and even mist for easy application; refillable packaging; water-resistant for 80 minutes What could improve: Bottle occasionally gets jammed up Most Lightweight: MDSolarSciences Quick Dry Body Spray MDSolarSciences Quick Dry Body Spray (SPF 40) This spray sunscreen also has a 360-degree continuous mist for easier application—even if the can is upside down. It’s ultra-lightweight, so the fine mist disperses evenly over skin. It isn’t at all oily, greasy, or tacky, but instead sits almost undetectable on skin. Users say it dries quickly and appreciate that it’s unscented. We like that it has a host of antioxidants in the mix—specifically vitamin C and Indian gooseberry, both of which protect against sun damage and free radicals. At six ounces, it’s also a bit larger than your average spray sunscreen, which helps add to the overall value. Best for an Instant Glow: Kopari Beauty Sun Shield Body Glow Gel Kopari Beauty Sun Shield Body Glow Gel in Rose Gold (SPF 45) For those times when you’re lounging at the hotel pool or hanging with friends on the beach and want to show off your best sun-kissed self without actually tanning your skin, reach for this SPF, which is almost like a protective body makeup. It doesn’t conceal, but it does lend what the brand calls “sun-kissed radiance.” Our testers agreed, telling us it offered “the slightest iridescence that sparkles in the sun.” Beyond the sparkle, the gel is completely sheer, so there’s no white cast to contend with. It does, however, feel more like a face tanning oil than a lotion, so that’s something to be aware of. On the upside, the traditional tropical scent you get in tanning oil is there in full force, and our tester described it as “irresistible.” We also like that it’s full of moisturizing oils and vitamins to enrich skin while protecting it. What we love: Great scent; delivers an instant glow; contains moisturizing ingredients; a little goes a long way What could improve: A bit oily; not water-resistant “Using sunscreen is most important, regardless of type, to protect your skin from sun exposure,” says Anna Chacon, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in Miami. But keep in mind that you have to make sure to apply correctly and reapply every two hours. “Spray sunscreens tend to be harder to control, and you have to be mindful of the surface area you are aiming at,” Dr. Chacon says—it’s easier to miss a spot with sprays. She recommends asking for help if you need to make sure you cover all areas of your body and rub it in well. “Sunscreen sprays are just as effective at blocking UV rays as lotions,” says Hannah Kopelman, MD , a dermatologist in New York. “But you have to make sure you are rubbing them in evenly throughout your skin once you spray them on, so that you don't miss any spots or end up with a streaky sunburn or suntan.” “I recommend spraying outdoors in a non-windy environment to avoid inhaling any of the aerosolized particles into your lungs and to make sure you are applying them evenly,” says Dr. Kopelman. “If you are going to use a sunscreen spray on your face, spray it into your hands and then apply it to your face,” says Dr. Kopelman, who advises against spraying it directly onto your face.
