For an overnight or a week...heres ODays Gold Medal answer to family cruising...the brand new ODay 22. Shes a real beauty and priced to provide optimum cruising convenience at the lowest possible cost.

The ODay 22 is as mobile as you like...easy to trailer to your favorite vacation spot. She can be launched at any boat ramp with average depth and she draws only 23. Her fixed keel is a very important feature. ODay was faced with a question of what type of keel to use that combines safety, and performance. After extensive water testing with our designer, Ray Hunt Associates, we are convinced that the long, thin, fixed keel answers all requirements. Its an innovative idea, proven and tested on the ODay 23.

Actually the keel on the ODay 22 is 6 deeper. We rejected the deep fixed keel to permit in-close family cruising and convenient trailering. We also rejected the swing keel. We wanted better all round performance and safety in deep and shallow waters.

The ODay 22s fixed, long, thin keel with permanent inside lead ballast is truly a design breakthrough. Combined with our hard bilged hull...the 22s stability and performance in all kinds of weather will surprise the most experienced sailors.

The cockpit is deep and roomy with a starboard stowage locker located under the molded seat. Hull and deck are glassed together to form one exceptionally strong, leakproof unit. Shes self-bailing and self-righting...important safety features for any family.

Her balanced outboard rudder is easily removed and provides excellent control. She has a sensible sail plan designed for good performance, yet easy to handle while family cruising.

A smooth action sliding hatch opens to a bright, roomy cabin that sleeps four on full length berths. Theres ample stowage, too. The cabin top is lined with a textured fiberglass headliner, and the hull with textured vinyl. A bulkhead, with a sliding door, separates the forward and aft cabin, and also provides the head compartment with complete privacy.

For all round performance and handling, this great family boat offers an unbeatable opportunity for safe sailing and wholesome fun.
