Buying a O'Day 240

[Franklin Bastos]

I have been thinking about buying an O'Day 240. Is there anybody out there that I could talk to about the boat. I have noticed that there are not many comments on the forums about the 240 why?

O'Day 240 Buyer

We had this boat for about 3 years without a major problem, some leaks from the hatch only. The roller furling works great for a solo sailor, the main reef is also very good when your are sailing in a lake with changing winds, and the motor mount is convenient. For the women in the family the enclosed toilet is great. She sails well (Not for a racer type)to the wind about 15 to 20 degrees. We keep her on the trailer and launch every time in our club.
