Seller's Description

O’Day 272, 1987 Asking Price: $14,155

LOA: 27’ LWL: 23’ Displacement: 5,375 pounds Ballast: 1,930 points Draft: 2.9 feet Rig: Masthead Hull: Displacement with wing keel Location: Frisco, CO*

This sharp 272 is only with her third owner since new and she has always been a freshwater boat that was lightly used and properly cared for.

The topsides shine like new with no scrapes or stains. The deck has some light crazing in a few places typical of a 33-year old boat, but it is dry and stiff - there are no soft spots. Standing and running rigging is all in great shape.

Sails are in good shape and satisfactory for day sailing: includes one main with single reef point and four furling head sails ranging from 130 to 150%. This is great family boat that’s easy to sail: fixed shoal draft lead keel, simple sail controls, and a masthead rig which means the mainsail is small and easy to control. Barlow 19 self-tailing winches control the genoa. The boom is very high up and provides plenty of headroom in the cockpit. All control lines lead to cockpit so no one has to go on deck in stronger winds.White vinyl cockpit cushions in great shape. Two sets of hatch boards: wood and Lexan. Exterior brightwork needs to be refinished. Bottom paint will need to be done if she goes into warmer waters. Current owner can assist.

Includes replacement fixed ports; new seals and screens on opening ports. Spare tiller with Tiller Tamer; new Breeze Bandit hatch wind scoop. The bilge is dry - dripless stuffing box; built in icebox and dry food storage locker. New Garhauer mainsheet fiddle block and genoa blocks and cars. New kitchen set: plates, bowls, silverware, sautee pan, sauce pan, and tea kettle, knives, cutting board, etc., new Magma grill with cover; new matching tiller cover. Whip up a steak dinner, overnight comfortably, and coffee and eggs for breakfast

This boat is turnkey and ready for weekend sailing and camping.

Westerbeke 10 Two diesel (10 HP) with fixed two blade prop makes maneuvering easy. Fresh oil change; fresh heat exchanger coolant; new water inlet hose; newer impeller. Only 1410 hours. The engine makes great power and does not use, burn, or leak oil or other fluids.

Depth gauge and knot meter. New dock lines and fenders.

Sleeps 5 average sized adults; about six feet of standing headroom. The cockpit is large enough for six adults.

20 gallons of pressurized fresh water; marine toilet with holding tank. Two burner alcohol stove. Newer upholstery. Head liner is original and in fantastic shape.

Like new 2018 Sail Trailers custom tandem trailer with electric brakes; all-up weight is a bit under 7,000 pounds. We towed easily with a full size SUV. Extending tongue and shoal draft make it easy to launch.

Slip and interior decor do not convey. Serious inquiries only, please.

*Can assist with delivery up to 1,000 miles depending on direction and final sale price.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.6 kn
Classic: 6.42 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

7.63 knots
Classic formula: 6.42 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.6
<16: under powered

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.
15.59
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.9
<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

35.89
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
199.0
100-200: light

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
198.95
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
18.3
<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
18.34
<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
2.1
>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
2.05
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

An inboard engine (gas or diesel) was available as an option.
