O'Day Daysailer Ii
Description
Browsed https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/day-sailer-ii-odayThe O'Day Day Sailer II (often abbreviated as DS II) is the 1971–1985 evolution of the iconic O'Day Day Sailer daysailer, designed by Uffa Fox (hull) in collaboration with George O'Day. This fiberglass trailerable sloop introduced key safety upgrades like positive foam flotation and a self-bailing cockpit while retaining the original's planning performance and cuddy comfort. Built during O'Day's heyday as America's top small-boat producer, over 4,000 DS IIs were made, contributing to the class's total exceeding 10,000 units. It's a forgiving, family-oriented boat for lakes, bays, or coastal racing,
