My neighbor who is 90 years old found an ODay boat in the corner of one of his barns. He remembers that he stored it for somebody but doesn't remember who. I helped him pull it out. (side note trailer tires were still full of air after thirty years) I found a plate with two numbers Hull #23893 and Class # 92. I couldn't find any other info on the boat. What are the particulars about the boat?
Need details about this boat

Well someone has to start: It looks like a Soling. It's a performance boat with that high aspect ratio keel, long water line, spindly mast. Looks to be in pretty good shape.
SBData.com shows a very similar underbody to the Soling but the Soling doesn't have a cuddy cabin. So maybe it's a knockoff or maybe some were built with the cuddy.
In any event I would expect it to a fun boat and worth some time and money into.

I think it's an Yngling, built by Oday.

You would think I know that boat after sailing thru a fleet of them tacking out of Newport Harbor for a regatta. It was a circus. The swells were coming into the harbor from the ocean and I was impressed with how those boats and their women sailors handled it.
Here is a bio on Linge which is worth reading:
