The O'Day 20... a perfect young-family boat. A cabin top with full fiberglass headliner for that expensive, big boat look. A deep centerboard for stability and a shallow 14" draw for in-close handling. The centerboard is enclosed within the keel, no part projects into the cabin.

The O'Day 37 puts real sailing back into tri-cabin yachting by offering isolationist privacy for six or deck and cockpit mingling for double that number. The cockpit's for mingling, the aft complex indulges the skipper's pride of ownership, the forward stateroom spoils the special guests, and the main salon's for entertaining and putting up extras.
The O'Day 39 has four separate cabins with berths for up to 10. Two heads with showers. For the racing sailor a boat you can push harder, faster, and longer. For the cruising sailor a secure boat you can trust for years of offshore passage making.
