O'day II Manual

I assume you are refering to the DAY SAILER II, if so.......
D&R Marine sells the original 11" x 17' 2-sided rigging sheet for around $10
Or.... I have created an expanded booklet version with added pictures and diagrams that cover the entire 1971-85 production run of hte DS II. "bad" news is that I ask for $20.00 to cover printing and postage, but that also includes scanned copies of the sales brochures form most of those years in addition to the 20+ page Manual.
Send me an e-mail (click on my user name) to order. (or Call Rudy at D&R for the original: 508-644-3001)

Sunbird,
I might be interested in getting the manual. I just bought a Daysailer II that I need to refurbish and I have never sailed or been on a boat like this before. I don't know how the centerboard works as far as locking it in place or releasing it. I don't know how to rig the running rigging, etc. Will your manual help me with all of this? Thanks!

It sure will! Manual covers the full 1971-85 production run, contains diagrams of how the CB is rigged, how to adjust it for sailing, and lists all the rigging dimensions. The running rigging is well diagrammed with the variations through the years.
My manual won't teach you haw to sail, but it will explain rigging the DS II pretty well, plus I always offer to answer further questions if not clear. I've now owned my 1979 DS II for 19 years (I guess this will be my 20th season!) and have a lifetime of sailing experience.
Now the bad news, I do ask for $20 to cover printing and postage, but most people tell me it ended up being worth it to them.
