"Give us a fast racing boat," came the challenge, "that's a family boat, too." Not a simple task, but we found the answer in Tempest, and she soon established a name for herself in day sailing, one-design racing, and long and short cruising.

Designed by Philip L. Rhodes to O'Day's specifications, Tempest combines a hull of medium displacement that's easily driven with a full masthead rig for the most efficient performance under any sailing conditions.

The fin keel and spade rudder make her extremely fast, very responsive to the helm. Extra beam stability reduces the need to shorten sail, except in the heaviest breeze.

A large cockpit and a simple boom tent make room for four in two separate cabins.

That's the O'Day Tempest—237" of spacious, speedy, easy-to-handle sailboat. Designed by world-famous designer Philip Rhodes, the Tempest provides big-boat comfort with a generous 8' self-bailing cockpit. There are large V-berths forward and, with a boom tent, ample cockpit space for additional sleeping.

Cinch-like handling and remarkable speed come naturally to a Tempest. O'Day built her durable one-piece glassed-together deck and hull with a fin keel and spade rudder. And, her 7'8" beam makes her amazingly stable . . . cuts the need for shortening sail in heavy air. Inside is a separate head enclosure and galley area. A molded-in insulated ice box is under the cockpit seat. There's plenty of storage space in her forepeak and seat lockers.

Specifications:

• Length: 23'2";
