  1. 17' Spindrift Day Sailor 1 question

    8. Spindrift 17' Day Sailor 1 Iron Mountain. Oct 19, 2013. #8. agprice22 said: I would suggest Royce's Sailing Illustrated for learning boat rigging. There are many ways to rig a boat, and there are many reasons to rig different ways. Cruisers rig differently than daysailors, and racers rig differently still.

  3. O'Day Day Sailer

    A proven performer for 61 years. Written by Kent and Audrey Lewis. From Issue Small Boats Annual 2020 July 2019.

  4. Building a Spindrift Nesting Dinghy

    The Spindrift is a beautiful boat. There is something appealing about the idea of a sailing rig on a dinghy. Nesting dinghys are time consuming to stow and deploy. They are a necessary evil on pocket cruisers unless you are willing to have an inflatable boat and deflate it when not in use.

  5. Precision: Small, Fast, and Fun

    Spindrift/Starwind. Rebel Industries bought the molds for the Starwind 19 and Spectrum 22, and built a handful of boats, not always wisely or well. They marketed the Starwind 19 variously as the Starwind 19, Starwind 190, and Spindrift 19, but left the boat essentially unchanged from the orginal Wellcraft version.

  6. DAYSAILER

    The DAYSAILER was a collaboration of Uffa Fox & George O'Day. Fox designed the hull, but the original cuddy was designed & molded by O'Day & his company. The DAY SAILER has been built by several builders and with a number of changes along the way but the basic hull design has remained the same. The DAY SAILER II was introduced in 1971 as an ...

  10. Difference between Spindrift and Young Sun

    However, it appears that the Spindrifts were manufactured a few years before the Young Sun. There are some subtle differences in the layout the Spindrifts have the galley up instead of down as in the YS. The forward cabin has a smaller starboard berth (if you want to call it that) in the Spindrift where the YS has a double to port and a single ...

  13. Kha Shing/Spindrift 40 Comments

    Hi: It's now 2020 and I'm entering my fifth season with my KhaShing 40, "Alameda Star" Here are some macro comments: 1. The boat is very well made and most systems are accessible. I've had to re-bed a few ports, including the main salon windows, which I consider standard maintenance items for a vessel approaching 40 years old.

  14. Spindrift Racing

  15. Sprindrift DS 17

    1,929. Oday Day Sailer Wareham, MA. Jun 12, 2023. #2. Yes, and no. YES, the Spindrift built Day Sailer is the same, Class-Legal boat as the O'DAY built Day Sailer I. NO, the boat is not "the same" as the O'DAY built DAY SAILER I in that very few parts are interchangeable, Spindrift used new molds made from from the same basic design as O'DAY ...

  16. 1985 Spindrift Pilothouse 43

    This looks like a great boat if your goal is "offshore" and "liveaboard." Your question includes "sail performance" and the Spindrift 43 specs are similar enough to my Nauticat 43 with all that wonderful tankage capacity that I would call it a "heavy cruiser," which means it takes more wind to get it going than the typical plastic classic.

  17. Frustrated---O'Day Daysailer 17'

    Mar 20, 2004. 1,730. Hunter 356 and 216 Portland, ME. May 29, 2017. #8. something is very wrong with what you've got - John may be onto something, and you've got a pieced together rig.

  19. Review of Spindrift 22

    The Spindrift 22 is equipped with a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.46 - 0.56 meter (1.51 - 1.81 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

  22. Spindrift 22

    Catalina C-22 MK-II Parrish, FL. Aug 28, 2011. #2. I believe the Spindrift 22 was an up-dated version of the old Chrysler-22. They hung the rudder on the transom, and re-designed the front of the cabin/deck area. When Chrysler Marine went under, the employees tried to save their jobs and TMI, (Texas Marine Inc?), was created.
