- Description
Seller's Description

With minor work you could be sailing tomorrow!

The O’day 28’s forgiving nature and easy stability make this boat for sailors new to boat ownership or the more experienced, an easy choice.
The cockpit has cushions, on the back and both sides with cup holders by the wheel. and GPS and compass at the helm.
The galley has a sink, a two-burner alcohol stove. butcher block countertops, and a large ice bucket area under counter. There is plenty of storage above the counter.
The O’Day has an aft sleeping area that also has an access door to the engine compartment. A more open second engine access area is easily accessible underneath stairs.
The fore V-berth has ample sleeping space for two with padded walls and storage underneath and a wardrobe closet and drawers across from head and has a door for privacy.
The head is port side midships and has toilet, sink with a door for privacy.
Plenty of storage throughout with cubby holes and storage lockers.
Reason for selling, buying a bigger boat.
Equipment: The hull was painted in 2022 and is good shape, the deck is firm with minor spider cracks. The wooden brightwork needs a seasonal surfacing. There is no evidence of water infiltration around portholes or through bolts. The diesel engine needs replacement, however there is a brand new (2022) 9.9 hp Honda motor with a 25” long shaft with less than 12 hours (cost $3,500) that moves the boat at hull speed with only 3/4 throttle. New (2021) 120 Genoa rolling furling (Cost $2,200) Main sail was professionally washed and repaired in 2021 (cost $350) New running rigging 2022 (Cost $500) New bilge pump (cost $125) 2 new deep cell batteries (cost $250) New Head (Cost $200) New Edison Steering cable (cost $450)
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)

Because her SD-20 Saildrive will keep her going in tough conditions. With her Edson wheel-helm, you can rely on her to steer any passage. On deck she has all the upgrades you need to cruise. You will always feel comfortable in her cockpit because of her dodger and full size bimini. That means never having to get wet from an over washing wave, or ever being beaten down by the sun on an intensely hot summer day. Her spreader lights will brighten up the deck for you when it gets too dark out. Her 130% Genoa Roller-furling is more than enough to get her going in light winds. If you have been looking for the perfect boat under 30 feet, then look no further than this O'Day 28. Because you will never question the impeccable design of your vessel. She sits on the hard, ready to be launched on City Island.

Insight on o'day 28
- Thread starter pafb19
- Start date Aug 21, 2011

- Bigger Boats
I currently own an o'day19 but have an opportunity to purchase a 28. Any insights to this model would be greatly appreciated. Boat is a '79 model but is in excellent condition. Thank you in advance.
I have owned one since 1995, a 1985 model. Could not be happier. Very few failure issues in my case, though "your mileage may very"; these boats are stable and sail well, very good value for the money. Be sure the Diesel has had decent care. Previous owner had overheated this one and coked the injectors, causing stalls at idle. I took them out and sent them to a Diesel specialist who overhauled them and the thing runs like a top. Put in an oil/water separator if it has none, keep your pump screen clean and change your filters properly and you should be good to go.
Mine is a 1985 and I have owned for 8 great years. It sails well, especially in moderate to heavy air. Cabin is roomy althought not extravagent and could use more storage space. I have added an AC/DC fridge where the cabinet holding the stove stop was located. The original Traveler, mounted on the cabin top had no controls, which I added. Engine is a Universal and runs like a top. Wheel steering is excellent and the boat balances exceptionally well with very little weather helm. I have moved my boat to Lake Champlain and although the O28 sails well, I am looking to move up to a 30 or 32 as we are now taking longer trips. You would do well with an O28.
Thanks for the response! I am very excited about this boat and can't wait to seal the deal. The only negative aspect regarding this boat is that the engine was removed and the boats auxiliary power is now an undersized outboard - 8hp to be exact. I believe I am going to have to upgrade the engine to a 15hp. Any thoughts on having an outboard on a 28.
Go for an inboard!!!
We had friends with an O'Day 28 and wow, what a great big 28 footer....keel stepped mast. Our friends had a tiller...they wished for a wheel but eventually went golfing instead.....the boat is extremely stable and does not like to round up....will sail forever with the rail in the water and the owner gets tired, but not the boat. I think you would want a diesel...I'd download the brochure and see what size of diesel was std. equipment then look for a little more H.P than on the brochure....the boat is a dream.

JoeR said: I have a 1985 O'day 28 which has the orgininal engine. It is a Universal 10 hp diesel. The engine is reliable but underpowered. I can power at about 5 kts with 2000 rpms. The engine is rated at 3500 rpms but anything above 2000 and I get a lot of black smoke out of the exhaust. I would recommend more hp. Click to expand
Panta Rei. The injectors were overhauled by a diesel engine shop. I've been told, variously, that the "smoke" is really unburned diesel fuel OR improper setting of the propeller, etc. I've had the prop reduced in pitch to what I believe was the right one and this improved the "smoking" by 2500 rpm. That is, while underway I could increase the rpms from 1750 to 2000 rpms. I'm going to have the prop checked against pitch specifications. Thanks for the response. Joe
