I just purchased a 1968 Redbird. I can find nothing on the boat listed on the internet. It is 17 feet long and looks like a daysailer. Does anyone have any info on the boat? I'm not sure how to post pictures. thanks[/img]

That is the boat. Any info on this boat?

I got nuthin'.

Looks kind of like an Ospray- def not a DS as the bow is too sloped for one. Cuddy looks like an O'Day product, though. Are you sure it's 17 feet, and not just under 16?

Might be just over 16. I still have to bring it home and check it out. Thanks for checking hopefully somebody will have some info on it.

I found out the boat is a Red Head not a redbird. It looks like a Daysailer copy from the the late 60's. It looks like it was made by a company that used to make fiberglass bodies for the corvette in the Detroit area. Thanks for your help and even though it is not an Oday this site still has tons of useful info for me.

I looked up the Redbird and learned it was an MFG boat. I used to own a 1980 MFG 19 - a small keel boat. it was sometimes listed as an MFG Charger 19.
