Small boat sailing enthusiasts have long appreciated this compact daysailer from the respected O'Day Sailboat Company. Built during O'Day's prolific years of fiberglass boat production, this 19-footer represents the company's commitment to creating affordable, well-built recreational sailboats for the growing sailing market. Designed primarily for daysailing and small boat cruising in protected waters, this boat offers an ideal platform for learning sailing fundamentals or enjoying casual outings on lakes, bays, and near-coastal areas. The boat's modest size makes it easily trailerable and manageable for single-handed sailing, while still providing enough cockpit space for small crews or family sailing adventures. Like many O'Day designs from this era, the boat features solid fiberglass construction with practical deck layout and straightforward rigging. The simple sail plan keeps maintenance costs reasonable while delivering predictable sailing characteristics that build confidence in developing sailors. With a small cabin forward, the boat provides basic shelter and storage, though overnight accommodations are quite limited. This sailboat remains popular in the used boat market as an entry-level cruiser or as a step-up boat for sailors transitioning from smaller dinghies to keelboats.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
