My wife and I have recently acquired a 1977 O'day 20 as an entry-level foray into family sailing.
I learned to sail, and did so recreationally, ages ago when I was on active duty in the Navy. Now, I'm trying to introduce the activity to my wife and son.
I have conducted a lot of research, both online and the old fashioned way (books!), as well as reaching out to friends and colleagues who are avid boaters for advice, opinions, and insights.
As I have recently discovered this resource, I would like to poll this audience for any insights and tips on things to look out for or to check/expect when dealing with O'days of a certain age.
Thanks in advance, I look forward to participating in this community.
