I am a recent owner of a classic O'Day23 (1973). Boes a boot exist that goes around the mast to keep water out of the cabin, and if so where might I get one? jmmeis@yahoo.com

Mast Step Boots

There are a number of ways to come about a boot for your mast. First, as always, try Rudy. Failing that you can buy boots at most marine supply stores that will fit a range of masts. Measure the diameter you need and find the boot that covers that size. You can also buy special tape that applies to become a mast step boot. A more permanent solution is something called Spartite. You cover the opening from the bottom, with the mast in place, and then pour a solution into the gap. It cures to form a solid but flexible boot. Good luck, Justin - O'day Owners' Web

At least some of them

Don et al - There is an early O'day 23 with a keel- stepped mast in the yard my boat is hauled at. I don't know what year it is, though. Surprised me the first time I saw it. Justin - O'day Owners'Web
