About the boat

Team Teewinot is sailing on Alizée, a 1982 S2 7.9, owned by Linda and Ben since 2012 and restored and updated ever since. In our opinion a fantastic design that effectively strikes a a difficult balance of competing compromises regarding speed, seaworthiness, and space/livability, particularly in a trailerable boat.

Alizée has been a western boat for quite a while, sailing Flathead and Canyon Ferry Lakes in Montana with previous owners, and now sailing the mountain lakes and Snake River plain reservoirs of Idaho and Wyoming, with occasional trips to the Salish Sea. Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park is a particular favorite, pictured below.
