Outlaw
Pat - here is a snipet about the outlaw. Hit the link for more detail. My boat was made in Brampton Ontario, Canada and I have met the builder. He went on to form Northern Yachts in Ajax. There are quite a number of Northerns sailing in this area. The Oday Outlaw was redesigned and had a Fin Keel added to replace the full keel and that boat became the Northern 25. There is another Oday Outlaw at the Oshawa Yacht Club but I don't know its age or or hull No. When the boat was redesigned, a foot was taken off the stern and the cabin space was enlarged. The boat also got a lot lighter as they had found out at that time just how strong fiberglass was and they didn't have to use as much lay-up as they were previously to get a strong boat. Boats of the age that mine is tend to be very strong and although heavy for a 26 footer, she is very responsive and fast. The overall design is similar to that of an Alberg 30 if you are familiar with that boat. There is a reverse transom and the outboard sits in a well covered by a lazarrete. The whole picture looks very clean. Because of the weight and hull design (Wineglass shape) the boat is very seakind and does not pond even in the heaviest seas. The baby sister of the outlaw was the cruising version of the Oday Tempest.
