1973 Mariner

posted 09-12-2008 by Rod Johnson

The ODay Mariner 2-2 Sailboat (1973) If you love to cruise, but hate being the last one home, then ODay has a Gold Medal boat for you. With the proven hull design of the Rhodes 19 as the basis, ODay has come up with a comfortable cruising boat thats fast and has named it... The Mariner. Shes fast and able and the ladies like her comfort. Foremost in comfort is the 8 1/2 cockpit, which easily seats six adults and has under seat stowage. Below in the lockable cabin are full-size berths for four: Two forward and two quarter berths extending under the cockpit seats. The galley area can be equipped with optional accessories...sink, water pump and tank unit, and offers space for stove and counter work. The Mariner 2 2 also comes with provisions for either a pump out or portable self-contained head. The entire cabin area is well lighted with portlights. Stowage for small and large gear is ample. With these comforts and the Mariners performance, its easy to see why more than 2,550 Mariners are in the water today. Sheets are easily tended without leaving the safety of the cockpit, and the halyards are cleated to the mast. The centerboard is ideal for shoal-draft cruising and easy trailing; youll find the rig is the same. Sails are flexible, however. You can order either a working jib or the larger genoa, which gives improved performance on all points of sail. Whichever way you choose, the Gold Medal Mariners sails are small enough to be easily handled by members of your family. A spinnaker is an option you may want to consider, it makes downwind sailing more fun. Length: 192 Beam: 7 Draft: Centerboard up 10; down 411 Sail area: 185 sq. ft. Along with all of these other features, you will find positive foam flotation for safety, a vinyl guard strip running from bow to stern, and the Mariner exceeds MORC self-righting requirements when the centerboard is in the down position. And, the transom reinforced for secure mounting of a small outboard. No wonder Mariner owners get together to cruise and race as part of the National Associations activities.
