She's going to need a new name, after the last couple of weekends "Sweat Equity" seems apropos.
I agree 14,000 (US Dollars?) would be overpriced, heck I'd probably take half that for my Oday 26 today!The work you are doing and the speed at which you are getting it done is amazing! IMHO I think O'Day's are some of the best boats out there. And i have a special preference for the 26! I let a near perfect one get away last summer, and then thinking it had sold, missed out on a second chance getting her! At 14,000 last year I felt the price was high. It sold for 11,400 in the early summer. (near new condition, owned by a true sailer including a new highway rated trailer for the boat)
How I kick myself now over her! If anyone knows of any 26's coming on the market and are accessible to Toronto/lLake Simcoe/Georgian bay. Let me know
Great names!We've arrived at a new name for the boat and her tender, borrowed from this poem;
by Robert Frost
No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
Nor chiefly that you may go where you will,
But in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still-
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar
