what is an O'Day 14?

  • Day Sailers

Traded in the Finn (getting old, have kid, yeah I know..) a friend of mine told me I could have his O'Day 14. I figured it was a O'day 15 or a javelin that he called an 'O'day 14' but when I got it, it sure isn't a Javelin or O'day 15. The sail has the blue 'O' with a 14 on it, the hull number makes it even more confusing, STRSP131K687 which makes it a starcraft!!! The side is clearly marked with the O'day logo. WHat is it? And even worse any Idea on how to get parts or a portsmouth rating (yeah, dont remind me that I traded in the Finn when you tell me the rating). Mike (confused in Long Beach)  

What kind of boat? Do you have a picture of the boat that you could post? Oday had several small boats available at the time this one was built, some built by other makers.  

need to take a picture I need to take a picture, but I think it might be a knock off or continuation of a Holder 14, looks alot like it, has a daggerboard, pretty flat bottom, and a 'storage box' in front just like a holder. The jib is free to move from side to side (no jib cleats like the holder). Mike  

14 = Widgit (Widgeon) Mike It may be A Widgen by O'Day  

Rodney Johnson

Not a Widgeon The Widgeon was only 12' 4" long. The Sail would have had a "W" inside the "O" and not a number. I thought is was a replacement sail, and the sailmaker figured this Javelin was a 14' O'Day and so put a "14" inside the "O", but the HIN that you give is not a Javelin. STRSP131K687 would be an "O'Day", maybe! STR = Starcraft, in the mid-1980's O'Day was a division of "Starcraft Sailboats" a division of Lear Siegler Marine. SP = ? Javelin would be "B", Widgeon "A", 15 "V" ("S" = O'Day 30, "P" = O'Day 20)? 131 would be the Class# or how many of that class had been built so far K6 = boat was "certified" or introduced in November 1986 87 = model year of boat You mentioned that the boat has a daggerboard, not a pivoting centerboard, the O'Day 15 (1981-84) had that but the 15 was not built in 1987. There were a lot more than 131 of the O'Day 15 built. Except for the Hull I.D. mentioned, I thought perhaps this was a Catalina Capri 14.2 (also known as an "OMEGA 14" but that has a pivoting CB, not a daggerboard. As others have said, a picture may be worth a thousand words!  

O'Day firefly??? COuld it be a firefly?? I just read a book about the history of fiberglass boats and their makers. There was a section on George O"Day and the boats he designed and made. One of them was a 14' sailboat called a firefly. Could this be one?? Mike C. O'28 unnamed

Not an "O'DAY" Despite the evidence, this is not an "O'DAY" per-se.....I think it may be a HOLDER 14 that has been disguised as an O'Day. The stripe design is O'DAY, even says "O'Day", there may be an "O" on the sail....but this is not a real "O'DAY". It may have been a sort-of prototype or one-off, or perhaps she was owned by an O'Day employee (or Dealer?) who decided to have some fun by customizing their own (non-O'Day) boat? The HIN is a bit confusing, since it does not follow the normal O'Day format, but that could have been explained by the fact that O'Day was in tranition between owners at the time the boat was built. Anyway, she look more like a HOLDER 14 than any O'Day. O'Day never built a model called the "O'DAY 14", there were a couple of 14' O'Day models (Puffin, and Javelin), but no O 14. Perhaps Rudy Nickerson at D&R Marine would know something? I may bring these pictures with me the next time that I visit him.  

A collectors item? the mystery gets deeper and deeper. Now im thinking it is a collectors item, worth millions on e-bay.... On the other hand, a Holder in O'day clothing isn't too bad either. I sent some pictures to Rudy, I have not heard back from him yet, his respose was the same as most people, 'O'day never made a 14'. Next part of the story.... I sent the story to the Holder/ Hobie One users group, they told me it is close but not a holder either. Here is what the Holder/Hobie One told me. (BTW, it int any of the boats they suggested it could be either) O'Day seems to have a boat typical of the 14' design of the '70's and '80's. I've seen several boats that look similar to the Holder design. The O'Day appears to be closer than most. I venture to guess most boat builders "borrow" from one another's good ideas and popular styling. The basic hull design for them all strikes me as that of the dory dating back to the whaling days and beyond. Some similar 14' sailboats: Wayfarer [This one came along in the 1950's and may have influenced all the rest] http://www.angelfire.com/de2/WIT/index.html Lido 14 http://www.santanasailboats.com/boats/lido14/lido14.htm American 14.6 http://sailingsource.com/americansail/american14.php Catalina - Capri 14.2 http://capri14.org/ CL 14 http://www.vaxxine.com/clsailboats/cl14.htm W.D. Schock - Capri 14 http://www.santanasailboats.com/boats/capri14/capri.htm CHRYSLER DABBER 14 Glen-L 14 http://www.glen-l.com/designs/sailboat/gl14.html  

None of the above? Not a Wayfarer, that boat has a pivoting centerboard and double chine hull, ditto for the CL 14. Not a CAPRI 14.2 or CAPRI 14 (really the same boat, different builders (CAPRI 14 might have a keel anyway) they had soft chines and a pivoting centerboard (must admit..until I looked closely at your pics, these were my guesses!). Not a Chrysler Dagger (I assume that was what you meant?) the Dagger was more like a Laser. Not a LIDO 14, the Lido is sort-of a lower freeboard competitor to the Capri, again..soft chines and a pivoting CB. Not a Glen-L 14, that was a plywood boat. I still think you have a Holder 14 disguised as an O'Day. I do seem to recall that there may be another 14' sailboat that was a near copy of the Holder 14, perhaps I'm dreaming...but I'll see if I can find any info in my home "library". Whatever, but the boat is not an O'DAY. Oh, Rudy takes a while to answer e-mail sent to him.

O'Day Javelin 14

14 ft o'day sailboat

The Javelin, also called the Javelin 14 and O'Day Javelin is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Uffa Fox as a one-design racer and first built in 1960. The design was built by O'Day Corp. in the United States. The company produced 5100 examples of the design, but it is now out of production.

The Javelin is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars, a nearly plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. The hull alone displaces 475 lb (215 kg) and carries 49 lb (22 kg) of galvanized steel ballast. A fixed keel model was produced in small numbers and carries 195 lb (88 kg) of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the centerboard extended and 6 in (15 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The fixed keel model has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m).

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor up to 8 hp (6 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The design is equipped with a lockable storage compartment in the bow and gear lockers under the seats.

New O'Day Javelin 14 owner with some questions!

  • Add to quote

Hello Sailnet! I had posted a few years back! The wife and I had bought a 1974 C&C 30. The boat was great but add 2 young kids to the mix and we found that we had very little time to take the "big" boat out sailing on Lake Champlain (VT/NY). This past weekend we sold the C&C 30. The very next day I found and bought a 1983 O'Day Javelin (14ft)!!! She is a beauty! We are lucky enough to live on the water and I can just push her off the beach myself, get the rigging up in 10 minutes and be off! I actually took the boat out yesterday with almost zero wind and still had the biggest grin on my face. I did have some questions about the rigging, was wondering if anyone could help us: 1. My main confusion comes from the outhaul. The mainsail clew has a line through it but the end of the boom has no block, just a carabiner and then there is no cleat to tie back on the boom. Anyone have pictures of what the end of their Javelin's boom looks like? I just jury rigged it to that carabiner but in more serious winds would like a more sturdy solution, am considering adding a small cleat to the end of the boom. 2. Do some people install a topping lift line from the top of the mast? I have to say I was confused by the sails being the only force holding the boom up and the boom flopping down into the cockpit when I released tension on the main halyard. I'd eventually like to keep the mainsail in some sort of bag on the boom and would rather not have if on the bottom of the cockpit that could get wet. 3. Do you guys with daysailers take off the jib and bag it every time or could I manually furl the jib around the forestay? 4. Lastly I plan to install a small electric trolling motor to get around more efficiently when the wind in our part of the bay dies down, would a 30lbs of thrust motor be sufficient for a 14 foot vessel with 475LBS displacement? I also plan to add lithium battery and a small solar panel to charge the battery (yes I know this is overkill). What are the chances of my capsizing the boat and the battery falling to the bottom of the lake? Is it possible to NEVER flip such a small boat? I'd probably somehow secure the battery in the little cubby. Could I drill small holes through the seating portion of the hull to run 12V wires aft? Thanks for any input! Pete

there should be a cleat on the boom for the outhaul https://daysailer.org/Resources/Documents/ds1man-oday.pdf

My recollection is that Javelins had several different deck molds over its history. The earliest one had wooden floor boards and an open area under the foredeck. the second one had a fiberglass sole in the cockpit that was integral with the seats and small aft deck, and a bulkhead and to close the area under the forward deck. I think that the last deck mold did away with the small deck aft. My recollection is that all three had a way to mount a small outboard. It was assumed that the outboard had an integral fuel tank on first deck and probably the last. The deck mold with the aft deck assumed that a small tank could be stored under that deck. Some of the deck molds had a small locker in one of the seats, but all of them used the seats and the bow tank for buoyancy tanks so cutting into them is not a great idea. Javelins can capsize, especially in a gusty sailing location like Lake Champlain so securing the outboard and batteries will be important. I would probably remove the jib and bag it all the time. That said, I had a small daysailer with a jib bag that had a zipper on the opening that was arranged so that the bag could be put on the sail while it was hanked on and then zip up in front of the forestay. The aft end of the sail had a bail that the jib halyard could hook to and lift it off the deck and a light line that ran to the base of the mast that kept the jib bag from flopping around. My recollection is that the original outhaul on the Javelin was pretty rudimentary. There was a cast aluminum end fitting that had an eye in it. A light line was tied to the clew of the sail, passed through that eye, back through the clew cringle and was tied with a couple half hitches at the clew. It wasn't adjustable when sailing. A topping lift would be an unnecessary complication on a boat this size. Typically, when the sail is down, the boom is topped up by attaching the main halyard to the end of the boom at the outhaul fitting. (That is still done on race boats up to around 30 feet.) At that point a sail cover would work. If you are only single-handing you might want to add slugs on the mainsail as well. Other wise fold the head of the sail down to the foot and roll the sail up from the middle. Jeff  

I've found that my 36 lb trolling motor is plenty of push for my SJ21, so I imagine the 30lb would be sufficient for your boat Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk

No problem putting a topping lift on a javelin. It probably makes sense. I would expect a 30 lb trolling motor to push a Javelin between 2-3 knots. I wouldn't expect a lot of range. Maybe a couple of miles with a standard car battery. I would say you could mostly avoid dumping a javelin, but I would secure the battery as if you were going to capsize. You wouldn't want to have a battery turn into a projectile if you did flip. You can get plastic battery boxes that work nicely. I keep my beach cat rigged on the beach for the summer, but I take off both sails in between use. Main and jib.  

I’ve had a javelin (1968) since it was new. Here is my take on your questions. 1) ours still has original sails.we just tied the line to end of the boom. if I were to update it I would put a block on the end of the boom,lead it inboard and use a jam cleat to secure. 2) we have no topping lift. Originally it had an paddle with a notch in the handle end to support the boom. Now we use the main halyard to lift the boom and snugged the mainsheet. At rest, we flaked and tied the sail on top of boom. Long term we took it off. 3) the jib we either bagged it or tied I to the foredeck. 4) the motor you have in mind will work for short distances. secure the battery. Yes you can capsize and even turn turtle. I’ve done both in my youth. good luck it’s a fine boat!

Oar locks and a motor mount have been added. Includes a tired but usable boat cover. Trailer is in good condition. ODay made over 5100 of this very popular boat. Price $750. Please email for further information.

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)

Centerboard weight = 52 lbs / 23.6 kg Displacement includes a crew weight of 640 lbs / 290.3 kg Minimum trailering weight = 1350 lbs / 612.35 kg

Boat Profile

O’Day Day Sailer

A proven performer for 61 years

From Issue   July 2019

T he production of small boats was booming in the 1950s on both sides of the Atlantic, and really took off in the late ’50s with the introduction of fiberglass. Famed designers Uffa Fox and George O’Day teamed up in 1956 to create the O’Day Day Sailer. Fox is credited with introducing the technique of planing to dinghy racing and designed many significant classes of boats, including the International 14. The story goes that Fox wanted a pure racing dinghy but O’Day wanted the small cuddy added to increase appeal to the recreational market in the U.S., so Fox designed the planing hull and O’Day designed the cuddy. The resulting Day Sailer was a 16’9” centerboarder with a displacement of 575 lbs, which makes for a light load to tow behind the family car. The fractional sloop rig includes a generously sized spinnaker for exciting downwind sailing.

The first Day Sailer was sold in 1958 and immediately became popular in the recreational and racing markets. It was later designated as the Day Sailer I as four different models have since been built, with over 10,000 boats hitting the waterways. Day Sailer (DS) models I through III have been built by eight different manufacturers, with the current Day Sailer being a modified DS I with a few DS II attributes, such as the internal foam flotation and cuddy thwart. The original DS models I, II, and III were built from 1957 to 1990 by the O’Day Company in Fall River, Massachusetts. The DS I and modified versions of it were later built by Can-AM Sailcraft, Rebel, Spindrift, Precision, McLaughlin, Sunfish/Laser Inc. The current builder of the DS I+ is the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company (CCSC) in Wareham, Massachusetts, holder of the exclusive license since 1994. The Day Sailer Class Association owns the molds that are currently used by CCSC.

14 ft o'day sailboat

The long side benches in the cockpit provide uncrowded seating for six. The sole is above the waterline and is self-bailing.

The early DS I can be identified by wooden thwarts, seats, and cockpit sole, a centerboard lever, open cuddy, and a transom deck. The DS II came out in 1971 with built-in foam flotation. The cuddy opening is smaller than the opening on the DS I because it also acts as a thwart, and a thinner transom allows mounting a small outboard motor without the need for a bracket. The Day Sailer I and II are considered class legal for one design racing, but the DS III is not considered race-legal due to higher freeboard on the transom, which was a departure from Fox’s hull design. O’Day built the III from 1985 to 1990, so to race in One Design regattas it is important to buy a DS I or DS II. The current Day Sailer in production is a modified version of the DS I with improved self-rescuing capabilities, two sealed air tanks, and a cuddy flotation tank with a smaller hatch.

The Day Sailer, no matter which model, is a very versatile boat, easy to rig, sail, transport, and store. With the mast down the boat and trailer take up just a few feet more than an average family car, so can be stored in most garages, though the mast may need to be stowed diagonally. At the ramp, the Day Sailer can be rigged in under 30 minutes: step the mast, add the boom, bend on the jib and main, clip the pop-up rudder onto the transom, and sort out the sheets.

Stepping the mast is the biggest challenge. The 23′4″-long racing mast is stepped through the top of the cabin onto the maststep fixed to the floor of the cuddy, and that can be tricky for one person. The mast does not weigh much, but it is helpful to have a helper at the foot of the mast to guide it into the cuddy opening. The good news with this arrangement is that once the mast is stepped, it is secure, and there’s no rush to attach the forestay.

14 ft o'day sailboat

A mast hinge, a popular option, makes raising the mast much easier.

About 75 percent of the new boats are delivered with a hinged mast, eliminating the awkward gymnastics of stabbing the mast through the cuddy. Once the mast is raised and the forward hole on the hinge pinned, securing the forestay to the bow fitting takes the strain off the hinge. Side stays can then be tightened to take out the slack, but no more than hand tight. Stays that are too tight can damage the hull. Tighten the nuts on the turnbuckles and tape over any cotter pins.

There are different sheeting arrangements for the boom. Some boats have sheets attached in the middle of the boom; the sheet on a DS II starts from a traveler on the transom and ends forward on a swivel cam cleat mounted to the centerboard case. The DS II boom also has a spring in the gooseneck that allowed for roller furling— disconnect the sheet, pull the boom aft, and roll the sail onto the boom. A reefing claw has to be added to connect the sheet to the sail-wrapped boom, but this design is not optimum, nor is the wad of rolled-up sail by the boom’s gooseneck. A better arrangement is to add a conventional set of reefpoints to the mainsail. The boom also has a vang to improve sail control.

14 ft o'day sailboat

The 6′ 3″ beam gives the Day Sailer good stability, enough to keep the boat under someone standing on the foredeck.

The jib on the racing version of the DS is a standard affair, attached with hanks onto the forestay and raised with a halyard. Some skippers add a downhaul to lower the jib from the cockpit. Both the main and jib halyards are led aft on the top of the cuddy. The recreational version of the new DS I comes with a roller-furling jib, which we consider essential for sailing dinghies, especially if singlehanding. We have added a roller-furling jib to our DS II along with the mast hinge. We also added the hardware and rigging for a spinnaker, halyard, spinnaker pole, spinnaker pole control lines, sheet blocks, and jam cleats.

T he Day Sailer is a treat to sail; it handles well, tacks with ease, and powers up quickly with its large sail area. The planing hull is responsive to the tiller, and the wide beam makes it stable. The boat will roll quickly but then sets on a tack, holding it with stable and positive helm control. The centerboard can be easily adjusted from amidships.

We sail a Drascombe Lugger and a Sunfish; the Lugger drives like the family sedan and the Sunfish like our Mustang. The Day Sailer handling is closer to that of the Sunfish—when the breeze picks up, the mainsheet needs to be held in the hand and someone should be ready on the jibsheets. The jibsheets run through the coaming on the DS I and through small cars on the DS II. For the highest performance, skippers have added tiller extensions and hiking straps. There is an outhaul on the battened main; racing versions have barber-haulers and travelers added. Pop the spinnaker, and it will scoot along quite nicely in a light breeze.

14 ft o'day sailboat

The Day Sailer carries 100 sq ft in the main, 45 sq ft in the jib and, for sailing off the wind, another 95 sq ft in spinnaker.

The Day Sailer’s 7′ 4″-long cockpit provides plenty of room for three adults, or two adults and two kids. With four adults it gets cozy; there is not much moving around, so whoever is sitting next to the tiller or foredeck needs to know what to do. It is easy to depower the main, reef it, or furl the jib as needed.

The cuddy is spacious for storing picnic or camping gear, and it affords a space equivalent to a two-person backpacker tent for sleeping aboard for overnight cruising. Adding a topping lift makes the boom nice ridgepole for a boom tent; there’s plenty of room to sleep in the uncluttered cockpit. The Day Sailer has completed many endurance cruising events, such as the Texas 200, Florida 120, and the Everglades Challenge.

A small kicker can be added for auxiliary power. We have used both an electric trolling motor and gas outboard, with best results coming from a 2-1/2-hp four-stroke that pushed push the boat to 6 knots at one-third throttle. The DS I will require a bracket to support and outboard; the DS II transom is thin and sturdy enough for a direct mount. If we’re not going far from home, we occasionally skip the outboard and carry a paddle; with her low coaming we have paddled her a bit, even backward over the transom.

The transom of the Day Sailer II will accommodate an outboard for auxiliary power. The Day Sailer I will require a bracket.

D ay Sailers are easy to find and inexpensive, considering their capabilities. If you come across one, there are few important things to check. Make sure the centerboard moves in the trunk, see that the forestay tang and bow seam are not pulled up, inspect the cuddy deck for noticeable depression which would indicate failure of the maststep under the cuddy floor, and if it is a DS II look inside the flotation compartments. Rinse her off and get her ready to sail. There is a great Day Sailer Association with a web-based forum, and excellent parts availability.

Great article Kent! I have a sister to your boat, right down to the racing mast and blue hull!! But since we’re moving to the Pacific NW, I’m about to sell it. I’m limiting myself to only 3 boats for the move (and it’s a hard sorting out!!!!). Great write-up about a fantastic boat! Thanks! Charlie

My father was George O’Day. It is nice to know the basic design that my Dad helped create is still vibrant 60 years later. I always find it interesting since Dad was a pure racing sailor that he designed a boat and saw the importance of appealing to the recreational aspect of sailing. He wanted to open the door to the bigger audience to share his passion of sailing.

I sailed with your father on a Hobie 16 at a Red Cross small craft instructor program. So much fun sailing with a legend.

Charlie we know it’s hard, the Day Sailer is such a timeless boat. If she has to change skippers, find her a good one.

Miss Beth, so wonderful to hear from a family member, it must have been quite an adventure to grow up around boating and racing. That Day Sailer hull was Cap’n Jack’s favorite, we enjoyed looking at it. Thank you for the insight into your family’s history.

Cheers, Skipper and Clark

I’ve had an O’Day for years, my first sailboat. I love sailing her around our little lake.

This boat is the best for a small family. In Brazil it’s a great option.

O’Day DS was my first brand-new boat. I was a “veteran”of maybe six months sailing in the late 1960s and she taught me to love sailing.

Great boat design. I’ve sailed different ones on and off over the years. Still a favorite.

Beth, your father made great boats as my father still has an O’Day 20 he bought new in ’76 and it’s still like new and a great sailing boat!

I recently bought a 1966 model after downsizing from a Viking 28. My father owned a Rhodes 19 and we sailed that boat for years on the western end of Lake Ontario. The design was similar, so the transition to the 16 was easy. I love the boat because even in high winds I can make a simple adjustment to the main with reef points. Solo sailing is fun and safe. I can see why so many were sold.

Hello, I just bought O’day sailboat. I do believe from what I’ve been reading that it’s a Daysailer 1. I was told this boat has never been registered and never had a kicker motor on it, I can’t find the metal tag on the transom but I see the two rivet holes where it should have been. Is there any other place on this boat to find the serial number? I would like to put a kicker on it and register it and, if not, is there a way to register this boat? Thank you for helping

The requirements to register a small boat that has not been registered before is different for each state. In NY, a boat is registered through the DMV. HIN numbers are placed on the right side of the transom. If you do not have one your boat was made prior to 1972.

Thank you for the reply, I’m working on getting a HIN number now.

Check with O’Day. Some manufacturers hide a second HIN onboard. Worth a shot.

My boat has a plate on the inside toward the front of the boat. On the bulkhead (might not be the right term) behind the mast. You’ll have to crawl into the cubby to see it. It’s a little plate 2″ x 4″ and shows Hull no. and Class no. The paperwork I have says the boat was made in 1967. Does anyone know the difference between Hull number and Class number?

Can anyone give me today’s value of a 1960 O’Day Day Sailer, #333, with a small motor that goes on the mount with sails that all sit on a Dilly trailer? It has all the original woodwork that my husband redid. It does not have a spinnaker but has the jib and main and a Proctor mast.

My daughter and I are looking for an older (less expensive) sailboat. Not sure where your at , we are South of Boston. The O’Day is our first choice. If you are going sell, please reply to this comment. Thanks

[I’ll connect sellers to John. Ed.]

16′ O’Day Day Sailor with trailer and motor

2013 DS for sale in Sharon,MA. needs work on floatation tanks

At 30 years old, I just bought my first sailboat which is a 1965 DS I. The boat has sat for a few years and she needed a good power-washing plus painting of the hull and inside the cubby and several new lines. I’m completely inexperienced with sailing (plenty of time cleaning boats, though) and couldn’t be happier to learn on such a beautiful vessel. Thanks for this article! It’s great to get some background info. Plus, plenty of words to highlight as I expand my boating vocab.

Day Sailers are easy to find? I guess you know where to look (certainly no offers in Craigslist). I have not been lucky enough to come across a good one that is 10 to 20 years old. I live in Massachusetts. Would you mind sharing where to look for one?

I have an O’Day day sailer 16.5 ‘ up for the taking. Our family had years of good times sailing and camping with It. Great family boat. Wooden seats and rails. Needs some work. In central Massachusetts

I am assuming you have gotten rid of your O’Day day sailer – if not, I may be interested. I’m new to sailing at 57 years young! I just took lessons at KYC here in Blue Hill, ME and am looking for a great starter boat that I can learn in and have fun on the bay.

Thanks, Kelly

Actually, I just bought a 1989 DS2 from Craigslist, on trailer, for $300. It needs only minor work and a lot of cleaning. I hope to float it Saturday to see if it sinks like a rock (I know it has flotation), and will need glass work, but I could see nothing amiss while on the trailer.

So, never say never.

Hi Laranja, I just read your comment about trying to find a used O’Day Day Sailer. I live in Wareham where Cape Cod Shipbuilding is located, they are the current builders of the Day Sailer. They usually have used boats available. I have a 1971 DS, a wonderful boat.

I have a 2013 DS for sale in Sharon,MA. needs work on floatation tanks

Fantastic article

Interested in purchasing a fine example that was actively sailed

I agree with the many positive comments above. Great article! I was a longtime owner of an O’Day Widgeon (14′), and after many boat-less years I’m pleased to have purchased a 1984 O’Day Daysailer II just last week. It’s in good condition, and after sourcing a few needed part, I’ll enjoy it on lakes here in Georgia. Thanks for the great article, which has served as an orientation of sorts for me as to what to expect when I launch her for her maiden voyage under my ownership. A long-time marketing and sales executive, I’m naming her SAILS CALL!

I just got a DaySailer, thought it was a 67 DS1 but the transom is thick with a box on the port side by the transom so not sure now DSII?

I just today bought and brought home to MA a 1966 O’Day Day Sailer (as shown on the registration from NH), and it has a thick transom with lidded box on the port side. Also has a wide cuddly opening and wooden cowling and thwarts as described above for a DSI.

We’re down sizing from a 53′ Pearson to an O’Day 18 that someone offered us. I have no qualms about the sailing, but the temperature of the water here (Massachusetts to Connecticut) worries me very much, after a lifetime in the tropics. Are these dry boats when sailed conservatively?

I have a 2013 Cape Cod built DS for sale in MA. Needs some work on floatation tanks.

I just sold our Venturer 22 and picked up (rescued) an O’Day 16 DS. A couple weeks in the shop and it looks ready to sail. One question: the roller reefed main (boom) does not “lock in.” I suppose I could jiffy reef it but does anyone have experience with the roller reefing boom? Am I missing a part (the claw) or do I just not get it.

I want to buy an O’Day sail 17′

We have a 1976, 17′ foot O’Day DSll (?) on trailer that we are transferring to another family member. We are trying to figure out the best way to get it from Oregon to New Hampshire. Any ideas out there?

O’Day 22

A nice cockpit, a touch of privacy and good looks, but performance is not a strong suit here..

O’Day Boats was around a long time by fiberglass boatbuilding standards—about 30 years. Originally O’Day was a leader in small boats typified by the Fox-designed Day Sailer.

O’Day 22

By the early ’70s O’Day had moved into the trailerable cruising boat market. In the meantime the firm was acquired by Bangor Punta along with such other major boat builders as Cal and Ranger Yachts. In later years, with the decline in volume sales of small boats, O’Day had problems. To help alleviate these, O’Day produced larger and larger boats, first a 30, then a 32, and more recently a 34 and a 37.

All the cruising size boats in the O’Day line were designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates in one of the most enduring designer-builder relationships in the industry (rivaled, in fact, only by Bill Lapworth’s tenure as Cal’s house designer and Bruce King’s with Ericson Yachts). The result of the relationship is a family resemblance in the O’Day line that is more than superficial. What proves popular in one boat is apt to be adopted in subsequent kin. Therefore, any study of the O’Day offerings over the years reflects a process of evolution.

When it was introduced, the O’Day 22 was touted as a competitive contender on the race course, a contrasting companion to the rather hazy 23-footer which it would soon phase out. The 22 had a masthead rig, a stylish rake to the transom, shallow (23″) draft with a short stub keel and no centerboard, light weight (advertised 1,800 lbs) for trailering, and a price under $3,000.

Later, the 22 acquired a fractional rig, a centerboard, 300 advertised pounds and a price tag almost $7,000 higher.

Construction

O’Day once set a standard for small boat construction and styling. That was before on and off labor problems in its plant, management changes under Bangor Punta, the decline in sales of boats in its size range, and increasingly fierce competition for buyers who became more cost than quality conscious. The later O’Day 22s were, frankly, a mixed bag of quality and shabbiness.

The spars, rigging, and hardware are as high quality as we have seen in comparable boats. Our only reservation is with the stamped stainless steel hinged mast step that we know from personal experience requires a steady hand and boat when raising or lowering a mast.

We also think that a mainsheet which terminates in a cam action cleat 16″ up the single backstay may be economical and simple but it is neither efficient nor handy, again a reflection of scrimping to keep price low.

The quality of O’Day fiberglass laminates was historically high but there have been reader reports of gelcoat voids and there is consistent evidence of print through (pattern of laminate in gelcoat). Exterior styling and proportions are superb, an opinion iterated by owners who have returned the PS Boat Owners’ Questionnaires. The O’Day 22, despite her age, is still not outdated.

On a boat of this size and price, a minimum of exterior trim is understandable. What is less understandable is the poor quality of the interior finish and decor. Belowdecks the O’Day 22 epitomizes the pejorative label Clorox bottle , used to describe fiberglass boats. Sloppily fitted bits of teak trim are matched against teak-printed Formica, at best a tacky combination. Cabinetry, such as there is, is flimsy, and in general the whole impression is of lackluster attention to details.

Performance

Without a centerboard the O’Day 22 simply did not have the performance to go with her racy image. Even with the centerboard she is hardly a ball of fire under sail. She does not point well; tacking through 100 degrees is not uncommon and she is tender, with a disconcerting desire to round up when a puff hits. In light air, with her 3/4 fore triangle and working jib she is under-canvassed and sluggish. In such conditions a genoa with substantial overlap is essential.

Since changing jibs is at best a dicey exercise on a 22 footer, the first step in reducing sail is to reef the mainsail. Jiffy reefing is standard and owners of the O’Day should have a system in good working order and know how to use it. Owners of the boat in waters where squalls are a threat may also want to consider roller furling for the larger jib, trading off the loss of performance and added cost for such a rig for the convenience and, in the case of this boat, the safety.

The O’Day is most hurt in light air downwind and most owners will want either an 8′-or-so whisker pole for winging the jib, or a spinnaker. It is a fun boat on which to learn spinnaker handling. With her fractional rig the spinnaker is relatively small and yet the boat is big enough to provide a foredeck platform for setting the sail.

O’Day 22

The trouble is that the O’Day 22 scrimps on the hardware needed for ease of handling with or without a spinnaker. The two #10 Barient sheet winches are, in our opinion, inadequate for anything larger than a working jib and we suggest replacing them with optional #16s. Similarly, the working jib sheets lead to fixed blocks whereas lengths of track with adjustable blocks (fitted to some boats as an option) are far better for optimizing sail trim.

The O’Day did not come with halyard winches as standard. It is a large boat for setting and reefing sails with hand tension alone. Most owners will want at least one small winch (#10) on the cabin roof, with the jib and main halyards led aft through jam cleats or stoppers to the winch.

The fairing of the O’Day 22 underwater is better than average, helped by the fact that the lead ballast is encapsulated in the fiberglass hull molding. The centerboard will, however, be difficult to maintain.

Like many other boats of her size on the market, the O’Day 22 is basically a daysailer with incidental overnight accommodations, notwithstanding that her builder (or its ad agency) made much of its questionable comfort, privacy, and space.

The cockpit of the O’Day is almost perfect: a spacious 6-1/2′ long, the seats are spaced to allow bracing of feet on the one opposite, and the coaming provides a feeling of security and serves as a comfortable arm rest. It is also self-bailing although the low sill at the companionway means that the lower hatch board must be in place to prevent water going below in the event of a knockdown.

Seat locker space is excellent for a boat of this size with quarterberth below and we like the separate sealed well for the outboard remote gas tank (but not the fact that the hose can be pinched in use).

O’Day literature boasts berths for two couples in “absolute privacy.” Privacy in a 22 footer has to be one of the more relative features. A sliding door encloses the forward cabin and another, the head.

The layout of the O’Day 22 is a noteworthy example of the tradeoff between an enclosed head and berth space. It does indeed have a head area that can be enclosed, a rare feature indeed on a boat of this size. With a conventional marine toilet and throughhull discharge where permitted, this would be a most serviceable facility.

The tradeoff is a pair of terrible vee berths forward. Coming to a point at the forward end, there is simply not enough room for two adults on even the most intimate terms. They are thus suitable only for a pair of small children who do not suffer from sibling rivalry.

By contrast the two settee berths in the main cabin are a bit narrow but a fit place for two adults to sleep. In contrast to the dinette layout of other boats, we think the more traditional layout of the O’Day would be the choice for most owners, especially those cruising with children. However, the settees are not comfortable to sit on, lacking as they do backrests.

The initial version of the O’Day had the then fashionable dinette arrangement but this was quickly replaced by a pair of opposing settees. We doubt if many owners would bother setting up the portable cabin table between the berths, as it prevents the fore and aft passage through the cabin.

The galley with its small sink and space for a twoburner stove is rudimentary but adequate for a boat of this size, Inadequate is the bin/hanging locker opposite the head. Its usefulness escapes us. Enclosed, it could have been better used space. But then the O’Day 22 desperately needs stowage space.

Conclusions

At a minimum trailering weight of 2,200 lbs. (more realistically 2,500 plus the trailer), the O’Day 22 is above the maximum for trailering without a heavy car and special gear.

If she isn’t going to be trailered and launched off a ramp, the 2′ minimum draft is an unwarranted sacrifice of performance and stability. We would look for a fin keel boat unless shoal draft is the highest priority.

On the other hand, with some additional sails and hardware the O’Day 22 should appeal to the sailor who wants a minimum size (and therefore price) boat primarily for daysailing and occasional weekend cruising (maximum one couple plus two young children).

Clearly the O’Day 22 is a minimum boat built tightly to a price. She is attractively styled. As she is apt to be a first boat, resale is important. O’Day boats have enjoyed good value on the used boat market. For about $6,000 for a ten-year-old model, you get a sleek looking small boat with a good cockpit, a modicum of privacy and two good berths. You also get a schlocky decor and a slow boat.

CATALINA CAPRI SAILBOAT 14.2

CATALINA CAPRI SAILBOAT 14.2

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

I'm selling my 1988 Catalina Capri 14.2. It has very good sails and all running and standing rigging is in the great shape. It includes 3 sails - main, jib, and genoa. The trailer is in great shape as well, it has a mast crutch built in for easy trailering, and it has new tires. This is an extremely popular, fun, and diverse boat. It is great boat to learn on as well as to have fun sailing. There are scores of information online about this boat. One person can easily rig and launch the boat in 15 minutes, the mast comes up and down very easily. The centerboard comes up when in shallow water. The draft is only 4 inches with the keel up so it will go thru very shallow areas without a fear of grounding. When the centerboard is down the draft is 3.5ft for great stability and pointing ability. It has a kick up rudder, and the tiller has an extension for healing and hiking. It has a positive flotation and it will not sink. It will stay on top of the waves even in the choppy water. It goes very good in light breeze with bigger genoa sail and it also has a jib for a moderate winds. The boat is still in production and it is very easy to obtain all the original parts from the manufacturer website. It is very easy to trailer even with a small car.

Gainesville, Florida

0 0 1 411 2348 UF 19 5 2754 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE 1976 24ft Able Poitin Sloop This boat was completely restored in 2011 and outfitted with the best gear and materials around. The Able Poitin was a racing boat made by Bob Evelyn just a year before the J24 came out and was built to be a fast offshore racer. There were only around 30-50 of these boats made and her uniqueness turns heads everywhere. I captained this boat a few thousand miles over the course of three trips from St. Augustine, FL to the Abacos, Bahamas and one trip to Miami and back. Needless to say this is an extremely tough boat capable of dominating races on the water or eating up offshore miles at a remarkable pace. I have all receipts. No expense was spared in her restoration and it shows. Included in the sale is a west marine inflatable dinghy with collapsible rigid floor. The 10hp mercury will fit on this dinghy. This is how I got to shore, went fishing/diving, and explored small inlets in the Bahamas. It condenses down into a neat large duffle bag and can be stored inside the boat when traveling long distances. This boat brought me remarkable experiences and memories I will never forget. I will personally make sure she is a well-oiled machine at time of sale. Here is a list of what was installed and much more isn’t listed BRAND NEW HULL AND BOTTOM PAINT! Trailer -Included is a fully functioning trailer. The axle is fitted with electronic brakes, and the wheels and tires are brand new and oversized. The trailer has LED lights.
