I am new to sailing and have purchased a 1968 O'day Day Sailer 1 and am interested in restoring it. I am interested in finding information on two things.

1) A diagram, picture, or detailed description that will show / tell me how the boat was originally rigged. I need to know the type and placement of all equipment.

2) My boat is missing the floor boards so I looking for a diagram, picture, or detailed description with dementions that will aid me in building my own.

Thanks for any help you can give.

This link will take you to the manual and set up for the DS II which has a number of similarities to your boat. You might also check out the photo gallery for some pics as well.

Also interested if anybody knows if the early DS1 (1959) had floor boards and what they may have looked like. The hull has an internal reinforcement running parallel about 1ft out from the c'b, about one half of a 1 1/2" round glassed in that looks like the original construction, about 4 1/2 ft long.

I have a '59 DSI and the original floor boards. I'll try to post pictures after the weekend.
