    O'Day Javelin Larger Jib Sail?

    Hello everyone! I have an O'Day Javelin 14 (SailboatData.com - JAVELIN 14 (FOX) Sailboat) that I acquired for free. I have actually sailed it multiple times now, and it's been great! Last time I went sailing, the wind was gusting up to 35 knots and managed to shred my jib sail pretty bad...

    Oday Javelin Motor Mount

    I have a 1979 Oday Javelin that I would like to install a motor mount for a Minnkota trolling motor. I am having a hard time finding a motor mount that I think would work due to the location of the seating in the boat. Has anyone out there installed a motor mount on a Javelin? I'd like to know...
