The O'Day 28 is an American sailboat, that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and first built in 1978.[1] [2] [3]
The design was built by O'Day Corp. (owned by Bangor Punta and later Lear Siegler) in the United States between 1978 and 1986, but it is now out of production. A total of 507 examples were completed.[1] [3] [4] [5]
The O'Day 28 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or centerboard. It displaces 73000NaN0 and carries 25500NaN0 of ballast. Starting with serial number 323, produced in 1980, the boats displace 74500NaN0 and have a slightly shorter waterline length.[1] [3]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.5feet, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 6.83feet with the centerboard extended and 3.25feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. In later production the centerboard version was replaced by a shoal draft keel model with a draft of 3.67feet. A deep keel version was also produced with a draft of 4.67feet. There was also a tall mast version, with a mast about 2feet higher.[1] [3]
The boat is fitted with a Universal 12 100NaN0 diesel engine. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.422NaN2. Serial numbers starting with 323 have a hull speed of 6.392NaN2.[3] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
