what is it!

[Heidi Smith]

I have a 23 foot kelis sail boat. It has a swing keel and poptop. I can't seem to find any information on this boat. Some one said that it was made from an old o'day form. It's a cute little weekender but i'd like to find out more aout her. The name kelis and year are 1974 is imprinted on the stern. Thank you Heidi

Could it be a Kells23??

Heidi, is it possible that this is a Kells 23? I have not heard of a kelis 23. Look carefully at the plate on the stern and see if that i is not an l. The kells 23 was a boat made in Ontario during the late seventies and into the eighties I believe. I don't think there was any connection to O'Day. I have not seen one around here for a few years. Check out this website with pix and see if this looks like it. Hope this is helpful.Don
