This O’day 35 is very special in that it is rigged for racing with a larger mast and sails compared to most O’day 34/35s. That is, she has a 45 foot mast with double-spreaders and big sails (130% genoa). She points very well, and makes way at 30 degrees close-hauled! With a clean bottom, I have consistently reached above 7 knots speed in 15-20 knots of wind. I have observed her maximum speed to be 7.8 knots (after accounting for any current).
Every year, I had Breezin’ hauled and winterized by professionals, her bottom painted and topsides waxed before launching in the spring. And I kept her repairs up - she starts quite reliably. This year, I had the bottom refinished, to remove some pocketing and flaking. Now the bottom will last a long time, also because she has a lead keel (not iron, which some of this model have).
I have also kept her interior very clean, since my family and friends enjoyed a lot of cruises, as far as Newport to the East, and Brooklyn Heights to the West!
For fun on the water, Breezin’ has a very convenient swim platform. She does not have a bimini or dodger (I had the hardware removed) because I wanted to my guests to enjoy an open deck and had no intentions for blue-water sailing.
I will launch Breezin’ this Spring of 2024, so that potential buyers can enjoy her in sea trials.
My family and I have enjoyed Breezin’ for 10 years. Due to personal circumstances, I will not own a sail boat for some time. So, I am seeking a new owner who would enjoy Breezin’ (if that’d be her name) for the next 10 years!
Equipment: Navigation: Raymarine e7D Chartplotter connected to EV-100 Autopilot, i50 Depth, i50 Boat Speed, and i60 Wind Speed/Direction. Thus, the Autopilot can keep the point of sail, e.g. a 44 degree starboard tack, with shifting winds!
Water heater: Atwood EHM 6SM
Furling genoa: Furlex 200S
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)
Similar to O’DAY 34 but with swim ladder on extended stern which accounts for extra length.
Shoal draft: 4.25’/1.29m
See O’DAY 34.
