21.75' O'Day 222

I have owned this boat since 2017, and over the years have made significant and meaningful improvements to make it a comfortable family boat that can be easily managed by one or two people. As our family has grown the boat no longer suits our needs. From my understanding it has always been a freshwater boat. The boat is in ready to sail condition and is rigged and ready for the water at anytime from the dry sail area of Bay City Yacht Club. The boat is mechanically and structurally in good condition and needs no significant work. As with any boat there is always thing to tinker. Cosmetically it is also in good shape but typical for her age. Though there are many race quality upgrades we have primarily used this as a family boat and only ever done some non serious family fun races with it.

If you are new to sailing I am willing to include some lessons or include a course/membership at Saginaw Bay Community Sailing Association with the sale of the boat. The pervious owner did this for me and I am willing to pay that forward for someone who is looking to get into the sport.
*Note I had the outboard off the boat to do its annual service while taking the pictures. I will add/update picture with the outboard when able
