Review of O'Day 240

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 4 berths, a galley and 45.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

But be aware that even though a Wing Keel keel is very good for speed racing, a fishing nets and the like in the water can easily make you into a troublesome situation.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.81 - 0.91 meter (2.66 - 2.96 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for O'Day 240 is 2.15, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for O'Day 240 is about 106 kg/cm, alternatively 597 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 106 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 597 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 16m 2 (172 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Oday 240 (wing keel) vs Oday 25 (cb shoal)

  • Add to quote

Looking at both of these boats. Price is similar, the 25 is a '76 the 240 is an '89. Primary purpose: beginner sailor looking to learn and also take family out (3 little kids) for short(er) daysailing rides and chance to camp. We'd be sailing on Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota. Assuming most of you haven't been to ND but its a bigger lake than you'd guess. Thanks for any info and replies-loving reading posts on SailNet as I'm gathering information trying to be an informed beginner. Thanks  

o'day 240 sailboat

All things being equal, I'd lean toward the '89. Newer systems, more modern design. Yeah, it's a tad smaller, but not by much. I also think that, for your purposes, the floor plan for the cabin is going to be better for the daysailing. You should have enough room to get everyone around that table, which will be nice. I'm not sure you'll have the same luck on the 25. I think you're going to have a hard time getting 2 adults and 3 kids into either of those boats for an overnight, unless you enclose the cockpit and have some sleep out there (that's what my parents did on their 27' powerboat when I was a kid - I slept on deck in a sleeping bag, but it was fully enclosed). Be sure to test the cockpits on both boats with the full family out there. Make sure everyone can sit comfortably and not get hit by the tiller. Also, be sure you, or your crew, can readily reach the lines you'll need while underway.  

o'day 240 sailboat

I don't know the O'Day 240 first hand but there are a few O 25 swing keel models at our club. It is quite spacious inside the cabin and sails pretty well. Wing keel sailboats scare me a bit as they can be very difficult to get off of a grounding whereas the center board models have no problem getting off quickly.  

I owned an ODAY 240 for a few years and I can tell you it is a great boat for doing exactly what you are looking to do. Any 25' boat will be tight down below for 5 people. But the 240 has a great floor plan with an enclosed head which may be the largest selling point. The standard roller furling for the genoa will make sail handling easier. It is a breeze to raise and lower sails. As long as your kids are little - say under 10 it shouldn't be to cramped in there. And the newer boat will give you a much nicer below deck experience. The interior on my boat only had some minor soiling on the carpeted headliner which can be easily cleaned with a carpet cleaner and a little effort. It can be made to look like a much newer boat. good luck with either boat.  

o'day 240 sailboat

Enjoy! I have great memories of camping on Lake Sakakawea as a kid. I imagine it would be great for sailing. A couple hundred miles long, ten miles wide, windy, and you'll have it almost all to yourself. One word of warning, the lake can have quite a strong seiche effect where the water level is higher on the downwind side of the lake and lower on the upwind side. I remember having to move the tent one night when the wind shifted and the water level came up by over a foot and started flooding our campsite. What this means to sailors is that on the other side of the lake the water probably dropped a foot, so if you had anchored in shallow water you might now be aground. Anyway, get a boat and come back here to post stories! I would love to hear some adventures sailing on Lake Sakakawea. (Also, I dig the 701 in your handle)  

Taking a look at sailboatdata.com the draft of the 240 is just a couple more inches than the 25. OAL is a couple inches more on the 25. The cabin top shape is different. The cabin layout is probably what you need to decide on. One thing I noticed on the photo of the 240 is a lack of life lines around the boat. The photo shows bow pulpit and stern hoops. The photo of the 25 shows bow pulpit with life lines and stanchions. The lines appear to end at the cockpit. I know the 1980 25 has full lifelines and bow/stern pulpits. You might want to consider full life lines if your kids will be wanting to walk the deck.

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)

Reintroduced (or similar) as O’DAY 250 in 1996.

Hi everyone, I am a new owner of a O'Day 240 1989. No manual so i am looking for one. Interested in the Pearson relationship and how the boat design and materials may have been influenced (if at all). Want to determine the hull and deck composition and any one who has experience with rebedding and deck hull separation on grey hull models. I also am trying to figure out the serial number for 240. I will post pic shortly  

Hi Marlow, Sorry to hear about the problems with your 240. I don't know where I saw this quote, but I think it is very true: "Wooden sailboats die of old age. Fiberglass sailboats have to be murdered." So I am betting that even with something as seemingly serious as a hull-deck separation, you'll be able to repair it so it will be as strong, or stronger than it was when new. I have a 240 myself and re-did one of my stanchions over the winter, which involved removing about a 6x12 inch section of saturated core. I did all the work from inside the boat to preserve the non-skid on the exterior. Using plates of g-10 fiberglass, and some West system six-10, I was able to build it back up from the inside to its previous thickness. I then re-drilled and potted holes for a new stanchion, and sealed the bolts using butyl tape. Regarding a 240 manual, I have one ...it's about 1/2 inch thick, single-sided. Send me a PM and we'll figure out how I can get you a copy. Best, Greg  

I sent you a PM thankyou for responding!

The question is, did O'day steal the 240's cabin layout from the Beneteau First 235, or the other way around? I love the 240, except for the masthead rig. I wish it were fractional like the Beneteau. Someday, I must get one or the other. Of course, the First 235 would be the better racer/cruiser... O'day was purchased by Bangor Punta, and later that was purchased by Lear Siegler. Rudy Nickerson was the parts manager for O'day, and purchased the parts stock to start www.drmarine.com . I suspect he bought out the Pearson stock when they went under. Pearson filed for bankruptcy in 1991 according to Wikipedia.

There should be two nuts that secure the rod. One locks the other in place, or is supposed to. Last season I noticed a small amount of stress cracks around the starboard chain plate. From within the cabin I checked the nuts on the rod and realized they had backed off. I then checked the port side and they had also backed off. Torqued them with threadlock.  

Wow... that is certainly something that could cause the type of damage you describe. I'll have the manual off to you in a day or so... but I'll also post (later) a scan of the hull/deck joint. The short story is that it is not glassed over... it is sealed with marine adhesive (3M 5200 I'm betting), and mechanical fasteners (SS screws). So cleaning and re-sealing the joint with 5200, and adding new SS screws, may be an option. And wouldn't necessarily involve a lot of FG work.

ODAY 240 DECK PG2025.jpg

"Bedded in a polyurethane adhesive" = 3M 5200. Precision sailboats currently use 3M 5200 to seal their hull to deck joints.  

Thanks everyone for responding. i am new to the repair part of sailboats and i have had to perform a steep learning curve. i found an experienced FB boat repair shop and they will be restoring the original joint and upgrading the seal with epoxy (probably 3m5200. I spent the day taking out the galley so we can working the hull from the inside. Going to use oak for the hull /deck screws.  

GregL564 said: Hi Marlow, Attached is a scan from the 240 manual showing the hull/deck joint. You'll see that it is bonded using adhesive and screws... so you may not have to use fiberglass for the repair. Hope this helps. Best, Greg View attachment 137999 View attachment 138000 Click to expand
