Comments welcome regarding an O'Day 37 (center cockpit) for Great Lakes and Atlantic coastal family cruising. Lots of anchoring out, while sailing Maine to Florida and Bahamas.
We usually keep a boat for years - so upkeep and repairs are understood - we are currently doing a full refit of our old (smaller) boat after years of heavy use - The O'Day 37 center cockpit looks like a good boat for coastal cruising, visits from friends and grandkids and so forth. It seems very affordable for the size, too.
- Build quality
- handling, comfort (we are inclined to wait for good weather for open seas)
- comfort below - not looking for a floating "condo".
- known weaknesses
- best "plusses" - worst "minuses"
Thanks,
msl
