Seller's Description
1982 O’Day 28 Sloop - North Shore of Long Island, NY
This 1982 O’Day 28 is a spacious and well-designed sloop that’s perfect for both day sailing and extended cruising.
The cabin, with over 6-feet of headroom, is surprisingly roomy for its size, with a smart, practical layout that makes it comfortable for weekends or even weeks on the water. One of its standout features is the wide side decks and generous foredeck, which make moving around the boat safe and easy, and also provide great lounging space.
It’s equipped with a Universal Diesel engine with approximately 800 hours, and both the original main and jib are still in working condition. The boat also includes an Autohelm ST4000 wheel autopilot, a 5 gallon water heater, holding tank, shore power, and a bimini top that’s in good shape. According to the seller she sails very well and offers a solid mix of comfort, reliability, and functionality.
Whether you’re looking for a capable cruiser or a fun, roomy boat for day trips, this O’Day 28 is ready to go.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
6.9 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
15.7
<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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
34.9
<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
- Displacement/Length
-
270.2
200-300: 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
- Comfort Ratio
-
20.6
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
- 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
Notes
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
