Videos of O'day 26 hard to reach areas

[mlindberg1]

Please do not get seasick watching these videos. Armed with my old ass and an Iphone I crawled around hard to reach areas of my new Oday 26. I am a newbie at sailing so I figured I would document just how "green" I am when it comes to sailing. Any comments welcome. Please be kind!!

Wish I'd heeded your warning re getting seasick watching the videos Need something to wipe the screen now.

I noticed a metal pipe coming from a tank (possibly water tank). You may want to consider changing over to all hose (potable if required) rather than waiting for it to over-stress the tank connection.

I never cease to be amazed at the quality of these Iphone videos.

That pipe is where the pennant line for the swing keel travels through..I noticed the pipe connection to the deck is not straight. There is a lot of resistance on the line.

I didn't see all the videos but that SS pendant tube isn't original or at least I doubt it. Kind of costly compared to what they put in my 25, which was a fiberglass tube. Where mine met the tube coming out the CB trunk they were mis aligned and the line rubbed a groove to in one to smooth out the lip. At the top there is at least a foot of hose attaching to the through hull, allowing for a better transition there.
