Greetings! I'm considering buying an O'Day or Spindrift Daysailer I or II. I plan to keep her in Door County, WI. For those who know the waters, would I be asking to much of this design if I wanted to sail her from the mainland (Ellison Bay, perhaps) north to Washington Island, Rock Island, possibly to Summer Island, MI. Another trip I considered is from Fish Creek, WI to Chambers Island and back. I first learned to sail at age 12 and have sailed Lasers, Barnetts and similar dinghies on Lake Michigan in Chicago and have done my share of open water swimming (even through Death's Door in DC!), so I have some understanding (and respect) for the power and bigness of the water in that area. I'm not planning on making these trips to start off either. I'm going to do some shorter coastal trips before doing any island hopping/camping. I know in ideal weather the trips I mention are do-able but am I limiting myself too much by sailing a centerboard craft instead of something with a 'centerboard keel' (if that's the right term) like a West Wight Potter 15, Montgomery 15, Siren 17, DS-16 or Newport 16, Gloucester 16? Is there a significant difference when the seas turn a little rough? I've researched safety measures to take and will become even more familiar as I plan these trips but wanted to see if the Daysailer is the right craft for the job. thanks much!
