Where is the S2 7.9 CG?
- fore/aft (relative to the daggerboard)?
- vertically (relative to the waterline or bottom)?
I need the info to compute the tongue weight for my new trailer.

Why did I know that?
Only an engineer would care about the vertical CG, even though it has nothing to do with figuring tongue weight, with all due respect.
Standard tongue weight is 10% of the total load being hauled.
An old friend of mine and I have a saying at our club............................................... the three most dangerous words in sailing are "I'm an engineer"!!!!!
No offense intended. Cripes, it's 5:09 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!
