O'Day Yachts (Offshore Cruisers)
Young Adults Take the New O'day 32 Yacht Cruising on a Warm Summer Day. | GGA Image ID # 23fbb7974a
The O'Day Yachts — Offshore Cruisers index page highlights O'Day's transition from small family sailboats and trailerable daysailers into larger racer-cruisers and offshore-capable cruising yachts during the 1970s and early 1980s. Beginning with the O'Day 27 and continuing through the O'Day 28, 30, 32, 34, 37, and 39, these advertisements and brochures show how O'Day marketed comfort, performance, family cruising, racing ability, aft-cabin layouts, shoal-draft centerboards, and big-boat amenities at attainable prices. Together, the collection documents O'Day's evolution into a full-line sailboat and yacht builder, appealing to sailors who wanted practical cruising accommodations without giving up speed, handling, and competitive sailing performance.
1972 The New O'Day 27: Fast. Comfortable. Sleeps 5. Under $7000
O'Day's newest Gold Medal performer blends performance, amazing cruising comfort, and a sensible under-$7000 price. She's quality built. Easy to sail. Self-bailing and self-righting. A rugged competitor in all kinds of weather, with a below-decks layout where comfort rules!

1975 O'Day 27II Winning Racer. A Leisurely Cruiser.
Only O'Day craftsmanship could construct this superior yacht, for less than you'd believe. The O'Day 27 yacht has been winning races since she first set sail 3 seasons ago. But O'Day can't resist perfecting her.

1980 O'Day 28 Yacht: The World's Shortest 30 Footer
O'Day knows that families with 30 footer appetites often come equipped with much shorter budgets. So we've built a 28 footer that respects the classic large boat traditions. John Deknatel and the designers at Hunt Associates have organized the interior symmetrically, in the manner of much larger cruisers.

1981 The O'Day 28. Afford A Boat This Big. Happy With A Boat This Small.
The O'Day 28 is a modestly-priced 28-footer that gives up nothing in roominess and style. Its layout is classically symmetrical. And to those lucky enough to have once enjoyed large yachts, what makes a boat seem small is an unfortunately squeezed interior.

1978 What an O'Day For A Daydream - The New O'Day 30
The O'Day 30 is really two brand new boats — a center-boarder for shoal draft convenience, and a raceable fixed-keel version for maximum performance on the wind in a breeze.

1981 The O'Day 30: When the Race is Over, The Party's On Us
Out on the race course, the big old O'Day 30 can really thunder, often to the discomfort of the specialized racers. So win or lose, we're betting that the post-race crowd will gather where it's most comfortable.

1975 Introducing the O'Day 32 Aft-Cabin Sailboat
The performance of The O'Day 32 upwind is remarkable. Her low drag, high-lift centerboard, providing 7'1" of draft, and her favorable sail-to-wetted-area ratio combine to drive her close to the wind: an obvious advantage when one must make a landfall to weather on a stormy day.

1977 O'Day 32 Yacht - New! Aft Cabin
The O'Day 32 provides a full 6'5" headroom in the main cabin. Even on a long cruise, you won't believe she's under 40'. You'll sail, eat and sleep in pure comfort. You'll thank designers John Deknatel, Winn Willard, and Peter Boyce for their attention to detail every time you sail your O'Day 32.

1977 The O'Day 32: How it gives you aft-cabin privacy
Many 32' boats have berths for six. But few have room for six to live in comfort and in privacy for weeks on end. The O'Day 32 most definitely does. Forward, she's as roomy as many after-cockpit boats. A big galley. An enclosed head. 6'5" headroom. And a table with room for six. And their elbows.

1978 The New Tri-Cabin O'Day 37 - A Maximum Offshore Family Cruiser
The O'Day 37i is a pleasing sailing, tri-cabin, center cockpit yacht. The master's cabin aft is a self-contained suite — fore and aft double berth, sink, vanity, head, shower and a sofa. John Deknatel and the Hunt Associates' designers selected an easily driven hull with a big-boat feel underway.

1979 Long Distance Calling. The O'Day 37 Yacht
The O'Day 37 puts real sailing back into the luxury tri-cabin yacht. Because John Deknatel and the Hunt Associates' designers understand where the hotel room leaves off, and a yacht begins — where to make the accommodations spacious, but when the hull lines should prevail.

1980 The O'Day 37 Yacht: Flat-Out Cruising Machine
The O'Day 37 puts real sailing back into tri-cabin yachting. 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.

1982 The O'Day 37: 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths at 8 Knots
It's the O'Day 37 Yacht. A luxurious tri-cabin cruiser with big boat amenities and comfort. An exhilarating performer with racer/cruiser responsiveness and sailability. The double stateroom aft with separate head area offers total privacy. The forward cabin with another head accommodates two more and all their gear.
