Seller's Description

Go to Sailing Texas classifieds for current sailboats for sale O’Day Widgeon, 1974 sailboat for sale w/trailer,

Tucson, AZ $800

Owned since 2009, sailed most recently a year and a half ago, though I did decorate it for Christmas. The sails have been stored inside at all times. There are some reasonable fix-ups it needs for a boat its age, but I’d sail it today.

Fractional Sloop LOA: 12.33’ LWL: 12.00’ Beam: 5.00’ Listed SA: 90 ft2 Draft (max.) 3.50’ Draft (min.) 0.42’

The boat is complete, hardware is of mixed manufacturers

Deck and cockpit has some mild fiberglass crazing,/cracking but solid all around Mainsail & Jib with windows in good condition Spinnaker & Poles (have not used) unknown condition Standing rigging complete, but a side-stay strand has begun to fray at the turnbuckle Running rigging is a variety of materials Boom Vang (have not used) Swing keel w/control line (control line has been in sun might need replacement, unused same line included when I bought boat) Masthead sheaves are worn and cracking but still functional Kick-up metal rudder/wood tiller not original 1 oar, 1 life vest; 1 air horn, 1 throw cushion, 1 other cushion, and variety of assorted lines, clevis pins, drain plugs Boat takes on maybe about 5 gallons of water into hull liner after 4 hours of sailing, not sure centerboard or other leak, or just the old drain plug

Trailer:

1975 West Marine Silver Trail with AZ perm plate, not original to boat. Over the last 2 years new tires w/20 miles, bearing buddies only wet once, grease gun, some new light wiring; jack; 2 older wheels/worn tires, grease gun. Lights worked last time used. Mechanic added a couple of metal bars to stop the wheels from angling out, probably because boat is a bit heavy from it’s intended use

CASH ONLY IN FULL AT TIME OF SALE

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 4.64 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

8.67 knots
Classic formula: 4.64 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
45.0
>20: high 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.
45.03
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
46.6
<100: Ultralight

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
46.61
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
2.7
<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
2.7
<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
3.5
>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
3.53
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
