I have a previously owned O'Day Spirit without rigging instruction. There are no cleats to hold my sheets. Are there photos or instructions available to assist me?

Rigging for an O'Day Sprite
Hey Bob, Here's a site that has some pictures of the Sprite. It's called "I love O'Days." If you need any further help, give Rudy Nickerson a call at D & R Marine in Assonet Ma. His number is (508) 644-3001. Rudy has all the O'Day parts and is very knowledgeable about O'Days. Good luck! Joe

O Day 272 LE; Mast information
I would like to have the exact dimensions ( including cross section ) and weight of the mast for a 272LE. The mast was broken at the mid stay and the pieces were stolen. I have obtained a mast from an older 272 but was longer ( thats easy to fix ) The problem that concerns me is the mast has a larger cross section and consequently more weight . I have a wing keel but the boat the mast is from has a full keel. I am concerned about stability . Any information would be appreciated

Patrick: the 272s were really cookie cutter ...
see link. ... But if you do have a taller mast now ... I wouldn't cut it down ... the boat is pretty underpowered in light wind with the standard height ... If you could do a "tall" rig another couple of feet could be nice. can always reef. But of course if you always have heavy wind ... that's another story. Vic "Seven"
