John Rennockl spent about a year remodeling his 1977 O'Day 32 "Shirocco" in order to take it from Virginia to Florida and the Bahamas.
"I remodeled the open areas behind the settees in the main cabin, installed extra bulkheads, a cross beam to support a baby stay, doubled up the main bulkheads etc. I love the boat and its space. It is not only perfect for the Bahamas but also for the Chesapeake Bay where I currently live. I had an O'Day 23 before and beefed it up significantly. The day after I had sold it it got struck by lightening (direct hit) but except for the electronics nothing was damaged. On my "new" 32 I found some loose bulkheads and some minor stress cracks. Other than that she is in great shape. This year she will get awlgripped after the hull/deck joint is glassed over. (It never ends)." |

Marcus Ward shows off a fine example of the rare O'Day Flying Saucer, vintage 1969. Ever wish your boat had a shallower draft so you could get into those intriguing shallows? How about TWO INCHES with the board up? |
