Seller's Description

This is a great family coastal cruiser that can easily be single-handed with the new auto-helm. All lines lead to the cockpit. The new auto-Furler for the head sail and lazy jacks for the main sail enable good control in all weather. The shallow draft with the wing keel allows you to go where other sailboats this size can’t, without compromising stability. The fuel sipping Yanmar diesel engine runs and allows long days on the water, even when there is no wind. The cabin is spacious, the galley has a two-burner propane stove, hot and cold running water, refrigerated ice box, and lots of storage space. The head has a new flush toilet, sink and shower. “Dream Catcher” is as ideal a boat for a family as it is for a solo sailor.

Equipment: Newer head sail with UV cover Full batten main Spinnaker New within the last 2 years: Auto-helm Batteries (engine and cabin) 2 anchors Speed and depth sounder Lazy Jacks Custom main sail cover All new hoses - water, bilge, etc. Auto-Furler Marine radio Dock lines Toilet Lights Propane tank And more

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.59 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.51 knots
Classic formula: 6.59 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.1
16-20: good performance

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.

Formula

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.
16.05
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.3
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

33.34
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
227.4
200-275: moderate

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
227.38
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
18.1
<20: lightweight racing boat

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
18.08
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.23
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

One of the last O’Day’s, (the parent company closed in 1989). A few more were built when the molds were purchased during short lived Cal/Pearson revival. The molds then, apparently went to Japan where another O’Day affiliate existed.
The wing keel on this and some other similar O’Day’s was called the ‘Hydrokeel’ and was patented according to the company brochure.
