Olive Oyl
Description
The OliveOyl (sometimes spelled "Olive Oil") is a 15-foot cabin sailboat designed by Jim Michalak of Lebanon, Illinois, as an evolution of his popular AF3 design. OliveOyl was designed for someone who liked AF3 but wanted more cabin room and comfort, but not more length. The boat represents Michalak's genius for maximizing interior space while maintaining trailerable dimensions and simple construction methods.
