We have recently purchased an Oday 22, built 1988. We are trying to restore her to original condition, and have recently found a lot of rotten plywood under the forecabin and berths. I need to get hold of some layouts that will let us know which parts are structural wood, so that we can assess the damage. Could anyone please help? Also - we need to replace some tracking, and have noticed that there are two potential positions shown in photographs, one appears to be for a rolling Genoa and one without. Not knowing this boat too well, and not having any plans to go from, I really need some help to understand where the tracking should go for each type. Again, can anyone help please? Thanks.

tracking

track position is a function of where the sail sheets have to go to control the shape of the sail at any given moment, and this can change with a jib of a different cut. most boats only have a single track and slide the block forward or aft, what ever the sail requires to remain filled and pulling, it may have been easier to add second track than fill all the holes left after moving the track. would expect the second track was for a spinnaker.
