Christophe and Alison Cable primarily sail their 1986 O'Day 222 "Schipperke" on Lake Pepin, Wisconsin. The third crewmember is their seadog Homer, a beagle. Homer wears a lifejacket for easier retrieval if he decides to go for an unexpected swim, and is quite the celebrity at Dan's Pepin Marina as well as on the water. The boat's name translates as "little captain" or "boatman" and is named after a breed of dog. |

Jim Brandenburg is a new O'Day sailor, having owned his 1987 O'Day 192 "Shootin' The Breeze" only a few months but he loves it dearly. Says Jim "I have to admit when I bought her, I didn't realize that there was a brotherhood of O'Day owners. I just thought I got a great boat! Actually I got a great bunch of folks with at least one thing in common, their O'Days!. The picture was taken on Eagle Creek Reservoir near Indianapolis, Indiana. I sailed past two fellow sailors who had anchored to jump in and cool off. The man willingly agreed to take the picture while floating in his lifejacket. After years of "what to do" weekends, I now have a regularly scheduled weekend of sailing on her!" |
