O'Day Javelin 14
The Javelin, also called the Javelin 14 and O'Day Javelin is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Uffa Fox as a one-design racer and first built in 1960. The design was built by O'Day Corp. in the United States. The company produced 5100 examples of the design, but it is now out of production.
The Javelin is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars, a nearly plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. The hull alone displaces 475 lb (215 kg) and carries 49 lb (22 kg) of galvanized steel ballast. A fixed keel model was produced in small numbers and carries 195 lb (88 kg) of iron ballast.
The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the centerboard extended and 6 in (15 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The fixed keel model has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m).
The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor up to 8 hp (6 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The design is equipped with a lockable storage compartment in the bow and gear lockers under the seats.

ODay Javelin 14

Recently acquired a 1980s Javelin 14 - love sailing it but need advice with two things. The rudder won't stay down - any thoughts? Also, has anyone shortened the tiller so that it is easier to change sides when tacking or jibing?
kick up rudders are designed to "kick up" there are many ways that various manufactures use to hold them down. friction, clips, lines with a block and cleat. Don't shorten your tiller until you get used to the boat.. you can stand up and need a tiller extension when your hard on the wind.

what is an O'Day 14?
- Thread starter Mike
- Start date Mar 26, 2004
- Oday Owner Forums
- Day Sailers
Traded in the Finn (getting old, have kid, yeah I know..) a friend of mine told me I could have his O'Day 14. I figured it was a O'day 15 or a javelin that he called an 'O'day 14' but when I got it, it sure isn't a Javelin or O'day 15. The sail has the blue 'O' with a 14 on it, the hull number makes it even more confusing, STRSP131K687 which makes it a starcraft!!! The side is clearly marked with the O'day logo. WHat is it? And even worse any Idea on how to get parts or a portsmouth rating (yeah, dont remind me that I traded in the Finn when you tell me the rating). Mike (confused in Long Beach)
What kind of boat? Do you have a picture of the boat that you could post? Oday had several small boats available at the time this one was built, some built by other makers.
need to take a picture I need to take a picture, but I think it might be a knock off or continuation of a Holder 14, looks alot like it, has a daggerboard, pretty flat bottom, and a 'storage box' in front just like a holder. The jib is free to move from side to side (no jib cleats like the holder). Mike
14 = Widgit (Widgeon) Mike It may be A Widgen by O'Day
Rodney Johnson
Not a Widgeon The Widgeon was only 12' 4" long. The Sail would have had a "W" inside the "O" and not a number. I thought is was a replacement sail, and the sailmaker figured this Javelin was a 14' O'Day and so put a "14" inside the "O", but the HIN that you give is not a Javelin. STRSP131K687 would be an "O'Day", maybe! STR = Starcraft, in the mid-1980's O'Day was a division of "Starcraft Sailboats" a division of Lear Siegler Marine. SP = ? Javelin would be "B", Widgeon "A", 15 "V" ("S" = O'Day 30, "P" = O'Day 20)? 131 would be the Class# or how many of that class had been built so far K6 = boat was "certified" or introduced in November 1986 87 = model year of boat You mentioned that the boat has a daggerboard, not a pivoting centerboard, the O'Day 15 (1981-84) had that but the 15 was not built in 1987. There were a lot more than 131 of the O'Day 15 built. Except for the Hull I.D. mentioned, I thought perhaps this was a Catalina Capri 14.2 (also known as an "OMEGA 14" but that has a pivoting CB, not a daggerboard. As others have said, a picture may be worth a thousand words!
O'Day firefly??? COuld it be a firefly?? I just read a book about the history of fiberglass boats and their makers. There was a section on George O"Day and the boats he designed and made. One of them was a 14' sailboat called a firefly. Could this be one?? Mike C. O'28 unnamed
o'day 14 pictures some pictures
pictures? I'd love to see them, but it seems that they didn't appear.
try at picture 1 another try at a pictures

try at picture 2 next picture
try at picture 3 3rd picture
picture 4 4th picture (the aluminum part you see is a beach dolly)
Not an "O'DAY" Despite the evidence, this is not an "O'DAY" per-se.....I think it may be a HOLDER 14 that has been disguised as an O'Day. The stripe design is O'DAY, even says "O'Day", there may be an "O" on the sail....but this is not a real "O'DAY". It may have been a sort-of prototype or one-off, or perhaps she was owned by an O'Day employee (or Dealer?) who decided to have some fun by customizing their own (non-O'Day) boat? The HIN is a bit confusing, since it does not follow the normal O'Day format, but that could have been explained by the fact that O'Day was in tranition between owners at the time the boat was built. Anyway, she look more like a HOLDER 14 than any O'Day. O'Day never built a model called the "O'DAY 14", there were a couple of 14' O'Day models (Puffin, and Javelin), but no O 14. Perhaps Rudy Nickerson at D&R Marine would know something? I may bring these pictures with me the next time that I visit him.
A collectors item? the mystery gets deeper and deeper. Now im thinking it is a collectors item, worth millions on e-bay.... On the other hand, a Holder in O'day clothing isn't too bad either. I sent some pictures to Rudy, I have not heard back from him yet, his respose was the same as most people, 'O'day never made a 14'. Next part of the story.... I sent the story to the Holder/ Hobie One users group, they told me it is close but not a holder either. Here is what the Holder/Hobie One told me. (BTW, it int any of the boats they suggested it could be either) O'Day seems to have a boat typical of the 14' design of the '70's and '80's. I've seen several boats that look similar to the Holder design. The O'Day appears to be closer than most. I venture to guess most boat builders "borrow" from one another's good ideas and popular styling. The basic hull design for them all strikes me as that of the dory dating back to the whaling days and beyond. Some similar 14' sailboats: Wayfarer [This one came along in the 1950's and may have influenced all the rest] http://www.angelfire.com/de2/WIT/index.html Lido 14 http://www.santanasailboats.com/boats/lido14/lido14.htm American 14.6 http://sailingsource.com/americansail/american14.php Catalina - Capri 14.2 http://capri14.org/ CL 14 http://www.vaxxine.com/clsailboats/cl14.htm W.D. Schock - Capri 14 http://www.santanasailboats.com/boats/capri14/capri.htm CHRYSLER DABBER 14 Glen-L 14 http://www.glen-l.com/designs/sailboat/gl14.html
None of the above? Not a Wayfarer, that boat has a pivoting centerboard and double chine hull, ditto for the CL 14. Not a CAPRI 14.2 or CAPRI 14 (really the same boat, different builders (CAPRI 14 might have a keel anyway) they had soft chines and a pivoting centerboard (must admit..until I looked closely at your pics, these were my guesses!). Not a Chrysler Dagger (I assume that was what you meant?) the Dagger was more like a Laser. Not a LIDO 14, the Lido is sort-of a lower freeboard competitor to the Capri, again..soft chines and a pivoting CB. Not a Glen-L 14, that was a plywood boat. I still think you have a Holder 14 disguised as an O'Day. I do seem to recall that there may be another 14' sailboat that was a near copy of the Holder 14, perhaps I'm dreaming...but I'll see if I can find any info in my home "library". Whatever, but the boat is not an O'DAY. Oh, Rudy takes a while to answer e-mail sent to him.

1973 O'Day Javelin, 14'
- Description
Seller's Description
O’Day Javelin, 14’, 1973 sailboat for sale with homemade trailer $575.
LOA 14’, Beam 5’ 8”, Draft 6” board up, 3’ 10” down, Factory hull & rig weight said to be 450 lbs. Mast height is 23.5’
The boat is a project in need of repairs.
Hull titled in Georgia but trailer is not yet registered. Comes with a mainsail and 2 jibs that have been stored inside or under the eaves of shop building. The mainsail has a small hole that needs to be patched. The 49 lb steel centerboard is corroded and needs to be replaced. There are small cracks, scrapes, and patches on the hull to be addressed before the hull is painted. Fore-stay needs replacement or may accommodate a diy furler. Also included is a Sunbrella type fabric boat cover and a Sunbrella boom & sail cover. A mast tabernacle makes mast raising less complicated.
The boat is located in Americus, GA.
I have an owner’s manual for the boat.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Spinnaker: 90 sq. ft. Also available with a fixed keel. (rare)

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

New O'Day Javelin 14 owner with some questions! Hello Sailnet! I had posted a few years back! The wife and I had bought a 1974 C&C 30.

O'Day Javelin 14. One of my friends just bought a 1973 O'Day Javelin for her three kids. It looks like a great little boat to learn on, with a fractional sloop rig and swept back spreaders. Her two older children have crewed for me on my boat, and really like sailing.
