I'm looking at an O'Day Widgeon to purchase, someone in my neighborhood is selling. Vintage is 1978'. I believe it is a 12 footer.....
Trailer like new, new wheels,lights, bearing buddies.

Appears to be in fairly good condition for it's age, new sails. Has had some fiberglass repair, where mast fits into hull. Guess this type of GF repair is typical, as this location is where most stress is created by supporting the mast. Anyway, the owner, did a good job of repair, and probably made it stronger than surrounding area.

Does anyone have experinece with this O'Day Widgeon sailboats ?
Looks like a perfect little day sailer for 2-3 people.

Thanks,
BD
