Help with the new O'Day hull tracking?

[SailKozy]

Hello, I was just given a ~12.5 ft O'Day boat with HIN XDY A5221 G4 85 that also has a 25 year O'Day anniversary plate. Research so far tells me this is an O'Day 12 and/or Widgeon, but trying to verify and look at finding replacement parts, rigging, spars, manuals, etc. Any help with my journey would be appreciated! Thanks, Stewart

The owner of this outfit used to be the parts manager for O'Day. He has a wealth of information

Thanks to both of you for the advice. Given that it is an 1985 model and it is approx the right length, I am right in thinking that it is a Widgeon - @Sunbird22358 - I think your previous posts, pictures, manuals, etc reinforce that it is a Widgeon, but mine has the very "1980s" striping too. I just have the attached night pic. I don't want to start getting parts until I am dead sure on the model.

Thanks again all.

Stand in front of the boat and call D&R to confirm the model

The "A" in the Hull ID number indicates that this is a Widgeon. Widgeon was a sloop (2-sails, also optional spinnaker), the O'Day 12 was cat-rigged (1-sail)
The O'DAY 12 was only built from 1976-78, so a 1985 model did not exist anyway, but that isn't widely known.
I have included a print of how to read the O'DAY HINs.

D&R may still have a copy of the original "Rigging Sheet" Manual, not sure, but I created an Expanded version of the Manual (50+ pages) myself, check out the Posting on this Forum, or you can send me a "private" message for ordering info.
