I am a bluewater sailer who just purchased my first daysailer, an older 17' O'Day (probably 1973). I have no paperwork with the boat and do not know the model but Javelin popped up in the window when I began this article; it may not be correct.I have not rigged the boat yet and am curious if the mainsail is supposed to have no slides. It appears that it mounts with a bolt rope. The mast and sails are in such good condition that they are probably replacements. Is a bolt rope the method that the mainsail was always hanked on the mast on an older model O'Day Daysailer?Malcolm
