Catch the Wind is a 28 ft O’day Sailboat looking for a new Captain and is sail ready. Gorgeous boat with Full Upgrades in 2020! Mast stepped and inspected, completely rewired and all new LED lighting, new antennae and coaxial, forward light, anchor light, aft light, cruising lights. New electronics including wind transducer, depth, speed, autopilot, Zeus II Navigation and 2000 Network. Two new Nav pod’s to hold all of the electronics with pedestal guard. Pedestal has refinished pull-up table for afternoon cocktails. Radio/stereo system with new cabin and cockpit speakers, led low lighting in cockpit. New screens and resealed porthole windows. Two flatscreen Smart TVs, stream movies and shows in main cabin or v-berth cabin. Super comfortable seating, cushions are redone in Sunbrella indoor/outdoor marine fabric with coordinating pillows. New Bimini, Main Sail cover and cockpit cushions with matching Sunbrella marine fabric. Freshly painted bottom and new zinc. One soft spot on the rail that has been injected with resin to prevent any water damage.
Equipment: Two new batteries and new battery charger(2020), sails inspected/certified and professionally cleaned (2020). Rope has been replaced with high quality halyards, keel line (drop/swing keel from 3.25-6 feet). Shore power and 110 volt power. All thru hulls replaced and professionally inspected in 2020.
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)
A keel/cb verion of the the O’DAY 28 was also available. Draft BU: 3.25’, BD: 6.83’
Later, the the keel/cb version was dropped in favor of a shoal draft fixed keel: Draft:3.67’
Deeper keel: Draft:4.67’/ 1.42m
Alternate tall rig:
I: 38.00’ / 11.58m
J: 12.08’ / 3.68m
P: 32.50’ / 9.91m
E: 10.00’ / 3.05m
