The 1983 O'Day 28 is a 28-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat built around a moderate displacement hull with a solid fin keel. Powered by a Beta diesel engine of 13.5 horsepower, the boat delivers stable and predictable sailing performance across varied conditions. Its responsive steering and well-balanced rig make it straightforward to handle, whether cruising or racing.
The layout includes a spacious cockpit suited to crew work and day sailing, with a surprisingly roomy interior below. The accommodation plan features a salon, practical galley, forward V-berth, and a private head, along with ample storage. This arrangement supports both day trips and weekend cruising.
The boat has been extensively updated and upgraded over its life. Improvements include a new diesel engine installation, air conditioning, Harken headsail furling gear, a Harken traveler system, replacement running rigging, and new canvas.
