Hello From Rhode Island

[stam22]

Hello,
We sail aboard an O'Day 34, cruising from Narragansett Bay to Martha's Vineyard, and we also club race on Tuesday nights out of the Barrington Yacht Club.
I have made many upgrades to Windwalker, and always appreciated the fact that I could consult with Sailnet for reference and research. I will be happy to add to that knowledge base, if possible.
Thank you.

Welcome!

I have an O'day 35 that I also keep in Barrington... well for now anyway.

Here is a pic;

Hi,
Nice looking O'Day. If ever I can be of help with info on parts or service, just let me know. Over the years, I've rebuilt or replaced almost every system.
Thanks,
George

Hello,
I was just looking at the picture of your boat and I have a quick question, I'm looking to upgrade my front hatch, which is fiberglass right now. Do you know the name and model number on your front hatch? Is it a Lewmar or Bomar? If not a model number, then measurment.
Thanks,
George

[eherlihy]

Front hatch is a Lewmar 60 series, and the main cabin hatch is a Lewmar 40 series.

They looked like crap when I bought the boat.


and


They have since been reglazed, and my wallet has been lightened, by Select plastics in CT. They look great though...

[stam22]

Wow, that was fast, talk about service. Again, great pictures, definitely worth a thousand words. I have Bomar over the cabintop, but I will check out the Lewmar for the v-birth. Thanks again.

Superb pictures - definitely joined the right forum! Any way hello from England :-)

Hi George, Welcome to Sailnet. I'm a fellow member of BYC and your neighbor on the Barrington River. I put a deposit on an ODay 28 before buying my present boat but backed out when I found some delaminated tabbing and ended up with Heart of Gold, a Pearson 28 instead.

Not meaning to hijack the thread; I am not happy with my current marina for a couple of reasons. How does one "join" the Barrington Yacht club? What are the typical annual costs? Please PM me.

- back to your regularly scheduled thread...

[stam22]

Not sure how to do this, since I just joined but I'll try.

ChuckA, I was at Stanley's today, speaking with Steve Terhune, and I noticed a boat with an awesome, and very noticeable graphic. Was that your boat on the hard?

eherlihy,
I will get that information for you.
Thanks,
George
