Google pulls up http://www.odayowners.com/index.htm, a commercial site, with
little info.

Smaller O'Day's were practical and affordable day-sailors. The larger boats
seemed to be lower-quality imitations of well-built boats. My experience
with an O'Day 22 was that hardware, particularly chainplates, was far too
light for local conditions (Buzzards Bay, within 30 miles of the factory).
That boat, hull #65, now 33 years old, is available in Maine, at a very
good price ;-)

Good luck,

Hi all,
I am comming from Germany and I am the owner of an O'day25. This is the
very best sailing boot I ever had. Unfortunately it is extremly
difficult to get replacement parts for O'day boots here in Germany. Do
some one of you know any contact details of the O'day factory, like
address, e-mail address, phone number etc. I will try to get parts
direct from the factory or to get information about O'day dealers in
Europe from them.
