Javelin Help

[Mark P. LeGassey]

my father in law has become the the new owner of a oday javelin. i need to find someone who can advise me on how to rig the mast and boom up. also if there are copies of manuals i would love to find one. i downloaded a manual from i love oday on the sail and mast, wasn't very clear. also does this sailboat have an auto bailer in it? i really appreciate any advice and guidence with this boat. looking forward to getting it together and learning the art of sailing.

thanks for your time

Mark,
Check out this site: http://www.iheartodays.com/ I'm pretty sure that the later model O'Day Javelins had a self bailing cockpit. I once owned a real old Javelin that was like an open boat with no cuddy and no self bailing, but if this Javelin has a small cuddy, chances are it has self bailing too.
