O'day Osprey

[Tom Bull]

I was recently given a very old O'day Osprey by a friend. It is nearly complete with a good suite of sales floor boards and accessories (light usage).The question is what do I use as a through hull dainage plug? I believe it is threaded. I also need the main sheet pulley and to re-rigg the traveler (how should it be rigged?)What are the general specs on the boat and what can I expect as characteristics when I drop her in the water?

Ospray

I recently purchased a 1962 Ospray at a charity auction and sailed it all summer. As far as the hull drain plug I just use an expandable rubber and brass model that I bought at K-Mart. It worked fine all summer and came in a pack of 2,so I have a spare.As far as rigging the traveler its pretty simple. You attach one end, with a pulley on it to the boom, run the line down to the pulley on the traveler. Run the line thru the front of the pulley on the traveler and back up to the pulley on the boom and run the line forward along the boom.
