Review of the Oday 22 by Ike Enriquez

Year built 1977  
Location of boat San Francisco, East Bay  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 6  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2004  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, I would buy this boat again.  
Gear that's been added replace 2 side stays and bought a storm jib.  
Structural or complex improvements replace the wood toe rails  
The boat's best features Very balanced boat. Easy to sail. Very simple riggings.Nothing complex about the boat  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. None  
Sailing characterisitcs Boat is very stable beacuse it is balance.The sail area is just right for the displacement. Large rudder makes it very responsive.I sail in San Francisco Bay,always 15 to 25Knots.Sailed it in 20 to 25knots, did not reef,did a chicken jibe,toe rail into the water heeled 40 degrees and when the wind spilled off the sail the boat right itself back.Sail down wind infront of Golden Gate bridge,25Knots,2hands on the tiller, boat surfing on top of the waves but large rudder kept it on track.  
Motoring characterisitcs Use a 9.9 outboard motor move it quite well.  
Liveability I won't live int it. It's only a 22 footer.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) [builder]  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought from a private party for $1,800.00. See photo in this website. Red boat, San Francisco beauty.  
Other comments I love this boat simple, stable and a she's sexy boat.
