I am bumping this message up to the forefront as I am starting to get a number of e-mails again to determine if the book and CD are still available.
In short, yes they are, and I will continue to make them available as long as there is a demand.
So, if you do your own maintenance, repair, or restoration work on your O’day Daysailer II then you’ll want this book entitled, Understanding, Maintaining and Repairing your Daysailer II. It covers some of the most common fixes and upgrades to make sailing the DS II more comfortable, convenient and safe within the class rules. Included is the builder chart to determine the year and manufacturer of most daysailers, the Daysailer Association’s specifications and measurements document, and a copy of the original manual.
Understanding, Maintaining and Repairing your Daysailer II is available in book or CD form for $26 ( which includes shipping and handling anywhere in the continental United States and Canada. Contact the author at
roger.conrad@mts.net for ordering and delivery instructions. If you order both the book and the CD at the same time, the cost is $38 total. I take paypal and cheques.
