O'Day 23 - Ok to sail on Great Lakes?

[ruidh]

I just bought an O'Day Daysailer in November. I live in Buffalo NY and plan to try it out on Lake Erie. From this conversation I'm thinking that I'm a little too nieve(sp?). I can sail alittle but not much experience. Anyone have any advice for me?

Keep an eye on the weather. Get a handheld marine/weather radio and check the forecast before you go out. Stay close to your home port. Wear your life vest and have a good time. The Daysailor should handle just fine in typical fair weather conditions.

Hey Technodad,

I actually came across this boat up by elk rapids. The owners name was Dan but he had it in a guys lot by the road. Was this the same boat? Where did you see the one you were looking at?

The boat I looked at was on the other side of lake travers...the boat was named "Bay Magic"
