I am looking for the dimensions for a Genoa for a 28 foot with roller-furling. Any info?

Bron - I haven't seen rig dimmensions for the 28, so I don't have the answer, but Rudy Nickerson probably can send you specs. D & R Marine, Inc. 14 Water St. P.O. Box 921 Assonet, MA 02702 Telephone (508) 644-3001 Fax (508) 644-3002 Justin - O'day Owners' Web

We upgraded our 28 with a roller furling, you will want a good sailmaker who knows this boat, the sail needs to compensate for the sag in the head stay that this boat has. I would suggest getting a 135 roller furling, 135 can be reduced to a 100 where a 150 can only be effectly reduced to a 120 (for up wind work). If you do not have the roller furling yet consider a better option, a reefable 150 to a 120 with hanks. Permanently mount this sail, for a #3/4 get one and host over the top of the pulled down 1. This way you can have a verstle sail plan without the limitations of a roller furling. We can not store our roller furling nicely when we race and the sail limits out weather work in performance. We are on LIS, an area that needs a boat to point if your going to get somewhere. These are just thoughts, you may be perfectly happy with a roler furler. I am an avid racer with no racing boat so I do the best I can with what I have. The performance of a well cut hanked on sail is far superior to the rollerfurling across the broad range of conditions. And it doesn't have to take up our saloon to store sails.

Racing a Oday28??

This email is in response to a message sent by Micheal Mcguire about racing his Oday 28. Micheal, all all other Oday 28 owners, how does the Oday 28 perform? I am looking at a stock 79. Are there specific upgrades you would recommend? One item I have heard about was to put in an adjustable backstay. I currently race a catalina 22 but am looking to get a nice cruier that will perform and occasionally race. Thanks everyone. Paul
