O'Day Sailboats and Yachts from Bangor Punta

The O'Day Sailboats and Yachts from Bangor Punta index page brings together GG Archives' collection of Bangor Punta-era marketing materials for O'Day sailboats, trailerable cruisers, offshore yachts, catalogs, brochures, advertisements, accessories, videos, and warranty information. Covering the years from the mid-1960s through the early 1980s, the collection documents O'Day's full product range, from small daysailers and weekenders such as the Day Sailer, Javelin, Widgeon, Sprite, and Rhodes 19, to trailerable cruisers including the O'Day 20, 22, 23, 25, and 26, and larger cruising yachts such as the O'Day 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 37, and 39. Together, these materials show how O'Day evolved under Bangor Punta from a major builder of family sailboats into a full-line sailboat and yacht manufacturer serving beginners, racers, cruisers, sailing schools, yacht clubs, and offshore cruising families.

O'Day 1966 Fleet Catalog

The 1966 O'Day Sailboat Fleet Catalog presents a compact lineup of trailerable, beginner-friendly, and family-oriented sailboats marketed to casual sailors, junior sailors, sailing schools, clubs, and small-boat racing enthusiasts. Rather than focusing on larger cruising yachts, this catalog highlights nine accessible O'Day models, ranging from lightweight personal boats such as the Kitten and Snark to versatile family sailboats like the Day Sailer, Javelin, Sprite, and Ospray, with the Rhodes 19 representing the premium racing and family-sailing option in the group.

O'Day 1967 Sailboat Catalog

The 1967 O'Day Sailboat Catalog shows O'Day's expanding range of fiberglass sailboats, from small beginner-friendly boats and junior trainers to larger family daysailers, racers, and early cruising designs. Many familiar models from the 1966 fleet returned, including the Day Sailer, Javelin, Sprite, Ospray, Rhodes 19, and Seven-Eleven, while the 1967 catalog broadened the lineup with boats such as the Swift, Flying Saucer, Interclub IC, Widgeon, Mariner, Tempest, Outlaw, and International Tempest. Together, these models mark an important transition in O'Day's marketing—from compact learn-to-sail and family boats toward the larger performance and cruising sailboats that would help define O'Day's later reputation in the sailboat and yacht market.

O'Day 1971 Fleet Catalog

The 1971 O'Day Sailboat Fleet Catalog marks "The Dawn of the New O'Day," presenting an expanded Bangor Punta-era lineup that bridges O'Day's earlier small-boat heritage with more capable family cruisers, performance racers, and Olympic-class designs. The catalog features eleven boats, from portable Swift and Super Swift sailboards and junior-friendly models such as the Widgeon and Javelin, to the popular Day Sailer, Rhodes 19, Mariner 2+2, International Tempest, Yngling, O'Day 15, and the new O'Day 23. Together, these pages show O'Day repositioning itself for the 1970s with broader appeal: beginner sailors, family daysailers, racing sailors, and owners looking for trailerable cruising comfort in a modern fiberglass sailboat.
