The 1982 O’Day 34 is a well‑regarded mid‑size cruising sailboat known for solid construction, comfortable interiors, and good Great Lakes and coastal performance. Built by the O'Day Corporation from 1980-1984, producing 241 hulls. The O'DAY 34 has retained its value as a result of superior building, a solid reputation, and a devoted owner base. She was designed by Raymund Hunt of C.R. Hunt & Assoc., known for balanced, seaworthy hulls. It has a fin keel w/spade rudder, LOA of 34' and is a masthead rigged sloop with a sail area/displacement ratio 16.51 offering a balanced sail plan suitable for single or shorthanded sailing.
This vessel has been extensively re-fit over the past 10 years and has sailed the Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic Coast. She has been meticulously maintained and serviced by her owner who is now ready to move up in size. She was hauled out last winter and received multiyear bottom paint and new zincs. This boat could not be in a more perfect condition. She is fully equipped and ready to sail away. Be sure to look at the list of extensive upgrades.
