General condition and any additional information
This Oday Day Sailer is a classic and is in ready to sail condition. This boat was once called the Osprey and sailed the island off the coast of Maine to include trips to Monhegan island located 17 miles off the coast of Maine. I purchased this boat two season ago from a avid sailor and sail maker. He made several improvements to the boat and created a new set of sails that he sewed himself. The sails are in like new condition. The centerboard works fine with no issues. All the rigging is in tact and works great. The tiller is in good shape and works fine. There are no holes or cracks in the boat. It really is in ready to go condition and needs no work in order to go sailing. You will not be disappointed in condition.
Standard features
this is a very early model of the Oday Day Sailer with the teak floorboards and teak frame around the edges of the cockpit. Fiberglass hull has no foul paint.
Extra gear included
complete canvas cover from the Sailor Tailor custom cover company that covers the entire boat and allows it to be covered while on the mooring. Also a canvas cover for the main sail. Covers are one year old. Comes with a great trailer that is road ready. All lines are included and in great shape. A large heavy duty black canvas cover also comes with the boat and is for long term storage out of the water.
Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
boat has added hardware to allow for the boat to be sailed solo from the center of the cockpit. The previous owner was a sail maker and he created two custom sails for this boat, a main sail and a jib. These sails are like new, crisp and have had less than 8 hours of use to the sails. A stainless steel turnbuckle has been installed to facilitate a very easy stepping of the mast process.
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
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
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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)
The DAY SAILER was a collaboration of Uffa Fox & George O’Day. Fox designed the hull, but the original cuddy was designed & molded by O’Day & his company. The DAY SAILER has been built by several builders and with a number of changes along the way but the basic hull design has remained the same. The DAY SAILER II was introduced in 1971 as an update to the original Day Sailer and featured positive foam flotation, two cockpit inspection/bailing ports and a self-bailing cockpit. A MKIII version was built from 1985-1990 (which is not considered class legal for one-design racing).
The DAY SAILER is still being built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company with improved self-rescuing features.
