About the EDEL 2
Designed by Maurice Edel and built by Edel (FRA) from 1966–1982, the Edel 2 is a compact, lightweight trailerable sloop with a production run of 2100 hulls. Its design prioritizes ease of handling and transportability, featuring a masthead sloop rig and a variable fin keel.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruisers, trailerable sailing enthusiasts, and single-handers who prioritize easy transport and low maintenance over heavy offshore capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 1279.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 9.06, the Edel 2 is not suited for bluewater cruising; it is designed for protected coastal waters and trailerable use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 18-foot trailerable sloops from the same era, such as the O'Day 18 or Pearson 18, due to similar dimensions, displacement, and intended use for day sailing and short coastal trips.
