Reviews of O'day 23 sailing features

I have sailed for many years... 10 with an O'day outlaw... then to a marinner which I love for trailerability and overall ease of sailing. I need something bigger but still trailerable... my objectives are 1) Trailerable 2)easy mast set up and take down with a friend 3) easy to single hand... have some health issues and will want to have roller furling jib... 4) something that can point up nicely, sail comfortably in a variety of winds...light breezes to strong winds (up to 25 kt).... 5)I often take people out who are not experienced so need to easily be able to tend sails myself.... 6)I often "gunk hole" and like sleeping on boat and enjoy living simply, is the boat like a cork bobbing around or does it set reasonably well... I have looked at 2 boats so far... the 23' shoal keel o'day seems interesting, how stable is it? how much of Jib would be advisable? (150?) It seems like it might be more stable then the 23' wing keel hunter... Any suggestions about the o'day's ability to meet my needs? Any suggestions for a more suitable boat? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!
1) Trailerable It's a relatively heavy boat for trailer sailing, from what I understand. We keep ours in the water and have not found it a difficult boat to launch and take out, but we only trailer it to and from the ramp. 2)easy mast set up and take down with a friend It's not a quick set up, but with a friend and with a few tries under one's belt, I think around an hour rigging is probably about normal for trailer sailing. 3) easy to single hand... have some health issues and will want to have roller furling jib... Easy to single hand. I sail mine with my nine year old "first mate", which at times is a little like single handling. Of course, you want your lines leading aft and you might want to think about changing from horn cleats to cam cleats for the jib sheets, as others here have mentioned in similar threads. 4) something that can point up nicely, sail comfortably in a variety of winds...light breezes to strong winds (up to 25 kt).... I don't know that it points particularly well, but it suits my leisurely cruising needs. It's a tender boat because of shoal keel. I don't sail in strong winds, but have found that reefing the main makes a tremendous improvement in winds above, say 10-12 knots. I know people here sail the 23 in places where 25 knots is not uncommon. 5)I often take people out who are not experienced so need to easily be able to tend sails myself.... No problem there. The one thing I've found that throws beginners is the initial tenderness. But tending yourself is not a problem- the rig is easy and relatively simple. 6)I often "gunk hole" and like sleeping on boat and enjoy living simply, is the boat like a cork bobbing around or does it set reasonably well... Works great for two people, but not more. We have two young kids, so it's not a problem, but when they grow I imagine we won't all be staying out over night. I have looked at 2 boats so far... the 23' shoal keel o'day seems interesting, how stable is it? how much of Jib would be advisable? (150?) It seems like it might be more stable then the 23' wing keel hunter... I have a 130 on my boat with an old Hood furler which does not reef, so I tend to reef my main early. Also, I'm on a lake where light winds are more common, so a 150 would be all right. Any suggestions about the o'day's ability to meet my needs? Any suggestions for a more suitable boat? A Catalina 22 is probably a lot easier to trailer sail, but it doesn't have the cabin accommodations that you get with an ODay23. No enclosed head, less room below, generally. I like my 23 a lot, but if I had to trailer it I might consider something lighter.

1980 O'Day 23
- Description
Seller's Description
1980 O’Day 23 with 7.5 HP ELECTRIC start Mercury OB. Motor has been serviced recently and carbeurator rebuilt. Sails are in good condition. Main and 110 Jib. Shoal draft 2.5’.
Equipment: Lots of extras. Stove, Head, Cushions, some tools, rope ladder and more.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The first O’DAY 23 featured a large ‘lift top’ (see photo) that allowed the entire coach roof to be raised from the hull at once. The keel stepped mast stayed in place. This was a unique feature and somewhat controversial at the time. Later the size of the pop top was reduced, (called ‘Convertible Top’ as in drawing), extending just aft of a deck stepped mast with tabernacle. With the O’DAY 23-2, the deck stepped mast remained, but the pop top idea was abandoned entirely. The O’DAY 23 (all versions) was in production for more than 10 years and was one of the company’s most popular models. (1500+ built). See O’DAY 23-2.
