O'Day 322
Description
The O'Day 322 is an American-built racer-cruiser sailboat designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and first produced in 1987 by O'Day Corp. in Fall River, Massachusetts, as a refined evolution of the O'Day 32 emphasizing enhanced stability through its wing keel, spacious liveaboard volume for its length, and balanced performance for coastal cruising or club racing with an average PHRF handicap around 150. Renowned for its moderate displacement/length ratio of 270 and sail area/displacement ratio of 16.2 enabling solid upwind ability, bright teak-trimmed interior boasting 6'2" headroom across two private cabins (V-berth forward and aft double), U-shaped galley, nav station, enclosed head with shower, and convertible saloon sleeping up to six, plus wheel steering and a walkthrough transom for cockpit ease, the O'Day 322 was produced briefly through 1987 with fewer than 50 units built amid the yard's final years, enduring as an affordable, low-maintenance classic for sailors valuing Hunt's timeless lines, forgiving stability, and surprising spaciousness in a compact package.
