Hello fellow DaySailers,
I just acquired a 1969 Daysailer and have prior experience with oday's as I had a fixed keel javelin and enjoyed that boat with exception of "dragging in the sand".
The boat is in decent shape and I noticed something that has my curiosity which I'm sure someone out there can help me with.
The boat does not have the teak "bench" or what i would think to be a stiffener bewtween the port and starboard seats, is this an option?
I would think the teak bench would be there to help support the centerboard trunk from sideloads but without enough information, it is difficult to ascertain the requirement of this section.
That sails are in sad shape and I will be looking for a spinnaker.
Definately want a boom tent and cockpit cover.
the mast has a slight bend toward the port side above the tabernacle which I believe could be straightened with adequate patience and inginuity.
I'll post pictures when I get it home.
