Description:
The O'day name is one of the most recognized and respected in sailing.  George O'day was an olympic sailing champion who went on to major success in boatbuilding.  The O'days, like the Catalinas, draw admiring glances and are considered good looking.  Besides their visual appeal, they feature solid construction, which helps explain why there are so many Odays on the water (they stopped making them 10 years ago and yet they are one of the most commonly seen boats on the east coast).  What is more, the Odays were among the first boats to seriously apply the term "human engineering" -- ease of operation, access to storage, and the like are rated high on the Oday.  Rodney, Nelson's yard manager and all-around boat expert, favors the Oday and considers them very good boats.

Suited for daysailing with 4 and short-term cruising.
