I have a new to me '77 O'day 27 that I'm sailing on Lake Superior. There are quite a few cosmetic issues I plan to address, but other than that, we're quite happy with our purchase. (bought yesterday, sailed only today).

I'm only reviving this thread in hopes of continued O'day 27 discussion. We're planning on cruising the south shore of Superior as a couple + 2y/o daughter.

non-custom bimini options? factory wiring diagrams?

We're in love with the large tall saloon and deep cockpit. Problems will arise I'm sure, but for now this O'day 27 is an impressive entry cruiser.

in or outboard?
:worthless:

27s were unique I think. the 28 up to 40 ft are like clones getting larger and larger.

I can't believe I don't have any photos yet!

Mercury 9.9 outboard, ran great yesterday

Our configuration is galley starboard aft, with the full settee amid.

Boat came with two mains, 140(?) Genny, working Jib and Spinnaker. Thinking about replacing the Main and Genoa as they're pretty tired. I've never ordered sails, is Doyle the way to go?

I only buy used sails at Bacon sails.com

Great link, thanks! new/unused for half the price, much more up my alley.
