We bought our 1979 O'Day 23 last year from what can only be described as a master craftsman. He and his son spent a great deal of time refurbishing and improving her. Everything from custom woodwork to new sails and new standing rigging. She has pressure water at the sink instead of pump, new water tank, solar and engine battery charging, all lighting replaced with LED, autopilot, and well... she just looks and functions better than new. Couldn't be happier. Brought her up from Buzzards bay, through the Cape Cod canal and up into Boston. Sailed fantastic, took some heavy 4 foot chop very stoutly, and rode the 10 foot swells of the outer harbor in style. Broke the voyage up over three days, enjoying the best of the ports of New Bedford, Marshfield and into the home port in Salem MA. These are pictures from just before that trip.
