Description: |
This O'day 35 is very special in that it is rigged for racing with a larger mast and sails compared to most O'day 34/35s. That is, she has a 45 foot mast with double-spreaders and big sails (130% genoa). She points very well, and makes way at 30 degrees close-hauled! With a clean bottom, I have consistently reached above 7 knots speed in 15-20 knots of wind. I have observed her maximum speed to be 7.8 knots (after accounting for any current).
Every year, I had Breezin' hauled and winterized by professionals, her bottom painted and topsides waxed before launching in the spring. And I kept her repairs up - she starts quite reliably. This year, I had the bottom refinished, to remove some pocketing and flaking. Now the bottom will last a long time, also because she has a lead keel (not iron, which some of this model have).
I have also kept her interior very clean, since my family and friends enjoyed a lot of cruises, as far as Newport to the East, and Brooklyn Heights to the West!
For fun on the water, Breezin' has a very convenient swim platform. She does not have a bimini or dodger (I had the hardware removed) because I wanted to my guests to enjoy an open deck and had no intentions for blue-water sailing.
I will launch Breezin' this Spring of 2024, so that potential buyers can enjoy her in sea trials.
My family and I have enjoyed Breezin' for 10 years. Due to personal circumstances, I will not own a sail boat for some time. So, I am seeking a new owner who would enjoy Breezin' (if that'd be her name) for the next 10 years! |
