O'Day 22 vs O'Day 222 - which is better?

• Thread starter rigready

Hello, we are interested in buying an O'Day, 22 ft. We've been told that we should get the 222 model, not the plain 22, because they are faster and handle more easily. I'm trying to find out what the differences really are. Are they lighter? Is there something about how they were made that makes them better races?  

boat info check out the " boat info" section at the top of this page.  

PHRF Ratings I quick way to get an idea of how a boat performs is to look up it's PHRF rating. The larger the number, the slower the boat. A quick glance at the ratings (they vary regionally) supports what you were told. The 222 rates about 260, and the 22 rates closer to 280.Not to complicate your search, but there are variations among the 22s - Early boats had a masthead rig, later boats had a fractional rig. The PHRF numbers indicate that the later boats with the fractional rig were better performers.I think another big difference you should consider when comparing the two models is the interior layout - The 22 has a very comprehensive bulkhead that breaks up the interior space into two volumes, but provides some privacy for head use. The 222 interior is designed as a single space to be more light and open.  

222 vs 22 Another very important feature about the 222 is that it has a keel centerboard, which the 22 doesn't have. This feature makes a big difference in sailing upwind. Oddly enough, I found this out on my own boat years ago when we spent a horrible night anchored out off of Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard, back in the 1990s. I had my family with me that night and it was blowing up a storm and I didn't want to chance going into the narrow passage to Menemsha Pond. In the morning when we got the sail up, along with my anchor, I tried in vain to make headway into the moderate winds that day, only to lose ground on each tack until it dawned on me that I didn't have my centerboard down. I clean forgot about it. As soon as I let it down, I was over to Tarpaulin Cove in no time at all. Sailboats need "Gripe" in order to go to weather, or point up higher. Gripe is a term used by boat builders that refers to a long whetted surface such as a fin keel, ballasted keel, or a centerboard type of keel. For ordinary sailing, you could get along without it, but there can be days when you wish you had it instead of having to start your outboard.Joe  

Joe, I think you will find that both the 22 and 222 have the keel centerboard. r.w.landau  

Two versions From the specs, it looks like the keel design changed with the rig. Masthead rig boats (up to 1979) have a shoal draft keel and the 1980-on fractional rig boats have the shoal keel/centerboard setup.  

Oday 22 I don't believe the 22 has a board or swing keel. Mine had a thick chord long shoal draft solid keel. It had a masthead rig, large fore triangle, narrow beam and was a simple easily sailed small pocket cruiser. She was a very forgiving boat, but not really fast. Sailed well in conditions favorable for her, beam reach with rather strong winds and rather rough conditions she could hold her own, but that was about it.  

correction to oday 22 They apparently did have a swing keel available.

Personal choice Which is better? O'Day 22 or 222, well...it really depends on what your needs are. The 22 has a more "big-Boat" style cabin, as others have mantioned, she has a head with some privacy (still open to v-berth), a hanging locker (small, but true), and may be much less expensive. The 222 will be newer, might be in better condition, has a more open interior, head is under the aft end of the v-berth.The 22 came with 2 different rigs, 1973-79 models have a masthead rig (190 sqft), the 1980-83 models have the taller, fractional rig (196 sqft). Also 2 different keels, 1973-78 models had the 1'11" draft fixed shoal keel, 1979-83 models had the 1'4" draft K/CB design, draft was 4'3" bd-dn.The 222 had a fractional rig (207 sqft) all years (1984-89) and a K/CB with draft of 1'8" / 4'8".If you plan to trailer your boat, one of the K/CB models will be easier to get on/off a trailer. The 22 had a lighter mast than the 222 and so stepping/unstepping may be easier. Trailering weight will be 2200# for the 222 and the 22 will be approx: 2000-2200# (1973-78 approx: 2000, 1979 approx: 2100#, 1980-83 approx: 2183#). I'd add at least 100-200# to these weights for any gear you will have aboard, and then add the weight of the trailer.  

Question for Sunbird,, ?? Would the cockpit be the same size on both 22 vrs 222?  

I stand corrected It seems that I did hear that O'Day built a 22 keel centerboard sloop in certain years of their production, but for the life of me I've never seen one in my area. If these are still available, I would definitely consider buying one, as I have always loved the looks of the O'Day 22 but was turned off by the stub keels on every 22 that I've ever seen. I'd really love to see one up close, just to check it out. The O'Day 22 is a great little sloop, but it all depends on what your needs are in a sailboat. Sailors who just like to cruise the bay and Gunk-hole would love these boats, and sailors who want to race will go for something similar to a J boat. It's all in what your needs are.Joe  

No, different boats, different cockpits The cockpit stayed mostly unchanged during the 1973-83 production run of the 22, sometime between 1973 and 1977 a gas tank locker was added.When O'Day introduced the 222 in 1984 it was a completely new design. The cockpit is wider and the tops of the seats are contoured. The 222 has a step at the forward end of the cockpit footwell (not quite a bridgedeck, it is about 1/2 the height of the seats) where the CB pendant is controlled. The jibsheet winches on the 222 are located on the cabin top, the 22 had them on the cockpit coamings.  

Thanks for all of your help! Does anyone have a 222 for sale, pref. northeast? Wow, you guys are an amazing a wealth of information. Thanks so much for all of your help, I think we want to buy a 222, if anyone has or knows of one for sale in the northeast, would you please let me know?  

Stern Pulpit?? Hi Y'all,Joe, I was looking at the picture that you posted today and noticed the stern pulpit rail on your boat. I know that you come with some really good ideas, and I was wondering if that was something that you added for winter storage of if it is like that all the time. Thanks a group for all of your info, hope that it is getting warmer up there.George  

Stern Pulpit Joe,As I was looking at your picture, that's exactly what I was thinking, what a great place to lean as you are sailing. Great idea! Thanks again.George  

Stern Pulpit reply Are you thinking of having one built George? I could give you some measurements, along with some pictures of it. That rail doesn't interfere with the swimming ladder at all. In fact, it gives you something to hold on to when you use the ladder. I usually sit on the Port side and lean my boat cushion up against the rail, to use as a back rest. Rudy Nickerson told me that O'Day build 20 of these boats with a full stern rail, and I remember seeing one of them in the 1987 Boston Boat Show. Also, this stern pulpit came with a short life line with a pelican hook on one end, which I've never used. The only thing that I built was the wood for the mast crotch. I added the roller to it about two years ago. The weather has been rainy, damp, and windy at times up here, and I'm looking for a good day to get started on my hull bottom preparation for the new bottom paint which hasn't arrived in the mail as of yet.Joe  

Stern Pulpit Hi Joe,No, I don't think so at this point. I have a 23 O'Day that already has one that the factory installed on the boat when it was new, and it does meet my needs. I do however think that you have a superior idea there. Thanks anyway for the offer.George  

Stern rail George, I can't really take full credit for the mast crotch set-up. I took my boat down to the welder and told him what I needed and he designed it right on the spot with no plan. I had no idea that it was going to come out that great. He looked at the mast raising set-up that I had made and took some measurements, and that's what he came up with. One of the reasons why I like the O'Day 23, is the full stern rail and combing winches. They should have built the 192 and 222 like that. I'm hoping that the weather here gets just a little warmer so I can start work on my boat. I'm thinking seriously of adding a shelf over my sink in the cabin. Lowe's has these nautical shelves with fiddles on them. All I have to do is cut it somehow to get it to fit in the opening on my bulkhead behind my galley cabinet. If I can't do that, I'll make one out of Mahogany. Smooth Sailing!Joe  

Rigready Rigready, If you are interested in a 1986 222, located in Annapolis MD you can email me at [email protected] ThanksChuck  

I may contact you Thanks Chuck, we saw something this weekend closer to home,if that doesn't come through I will definitely contact you.

O’Day 22

A nice cockpit, a touch of privacy and good looks, but performance is not a strong suit here..

O’Day Boats was around a long time by fiberglass boatbuilding standards—about 30 years. Originally O’Day was a leader in small boats typified by the Fox-designed Day Sailer.

By the early ’70s O’Day had moved into the trailerable cruising boat market. In the meantime the firm was acquired by Bangor Punta along with such other major boat builders as Cal and Ranger Yachts. In later years, with the decline in volume sales of small boats, O’Day had problems. To help alleviate these, O’Day produced larger and larger boats, first a 30, then a 32, and more recently a 34 and a 37.

All the cruising size boats in the O’Day line were designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates in one of the most enduring designer-builder relationships in the industry (rivaled, in fact, only by Bill Lapworth’s tenure as Cal’s house designer and Bruce King’s with Ericson Yachts). The result of the relationship is a family resemblance in the O’Day line that is more than superficial. What proves popular in one boat is apt to be adopted in subsequent kin. Therefore, any study of the O’Day offerings over the years reflects a process of evolution.

When it was introduced, the O’Day 22 was touted as a competitive contender on the race course, a contrasting companion to the rather hazy 23-footer which it would soon phase out. The 22 had a masthead rig, a stylish rake to the transom, shallow (23″) draft with a short stub keel and no centerboard, light weight (advertised 1,800 lbs) for trailering, and a price under $3,000.

Later, the 22 acquired a fractional rig, a centerboard, 300 advertised pounds and a price tag almost $7,000 higher.

Construction

O’Day once set a standard for small boat construction and styling. That was before on and off labor problems in its plant, management changes under Bangor Punta, the decline in sales of boats in its size range, and increasingly fierce competition for buyers who became more cost than quality conscious. The later O’Day 22s were, frankly, a mixed bag of quality and shabbiness.

The spars, rigging, and hardware are as high quality as we have seen in comparable boats. Our only reservation is with the stamped stainless steel hinged mast step that we know from personal experience requires a steady hand and boat when raising or lowering a mast.

We also think that a mainsheet which terminates in a cam action cleat 16″ up the single backstay may be economical and simple but it is neither efficient nor handy, again a reflection of scrimping to keep price low.

The quality of O’Day fiberglass laminates was historically high but there have been reader reports of gelcoat voids and there is consistent evidence of print through (pattern of laminate in gelcoat). Exterior styling and proportions are superb, an opinion iterated by owners who have returned the PS Boat Owners’ Questionnaires. The O’Day 22, despite her age, is still not outdated.

On a boat of this size and price, a minimum of exterior trim is understandable. What is less understandable is the poor quality of the interior finish and decor. Belowdecks the O’Day 22 epitomizes the pejorative label Clorox bottle , used to describe fiberglass boats. Sloppily fitted bits of teak trim are matched against teak-printed Formica, at best a tacky combination. Cabinetry, such as there is, is flimsy, and in general the whole impression is of lackluster attention to details.

Performance

Without a centerboard the O’Day 22 simply did not have the performance to go with her racy image. Even with the centerboard she is hardly a ball of fire under sail. She does not point well; tacking through 100 degrees is not uncommon and she is tender, with a disconcerting desire to round up when a puff hits. In light air, with her 3/4 fore triangle and working jib she is under-canvassed and sluggish. In such conditions a genoa with substantial overlap is essential.

Since changing jibs is at best a dicey exercise on a 22 footer, the first step in reducing sail is to reef the mainsail. Jiffy reefing is standard and owners of the O’Day should have a system in good working order and know how to use it. Owners of the boat in waters where squalls are a threat may also want to consider roller furling for the larger jib, trading off the loss of performance and added cost for such a rig for the convenience and, in the case of this boat, the safety.

The O’Day is most hurt in light air downwind and most owners will want either an 8′-or-so whisker pole for winging the jib, or a spinnaker. It is a fun boat on which to learn spinnaker handling. With her fractional rig the spinnaker is relatively small and yet the boat is big enough to provide a foredeck platform for setting the sail.

The trouble is that the O’Day 22 scrimps on the hardware needed for ease of handling with or without a spinnaker. The two #10 Barient sheet winches are, in our opinion, inadequate for anything larger than a working jib and we suggest replacing them with optional #16s. Similarly, the working jib sheets lead to fixed blocks whereas lengths of track with adjustable blocks (fitted to some boats as an option) are far better for optimizing sail trim.

The O’Day did not come with halyard winches as standard. It is a large boat for setting and reefing sails with hand tension alone. Most owners will want at least one small winch (#10) on the cabin roof, with the jib and main halyards led aft through jam cleats or stoppers to the winch.

The fairing of the O’Day 22 underwater is better than average, helped by the fact that the lead ballast is encapsulated in the fiberglass hull molding. The centerboard will, however, be difficult to maintain.

Like many other boats of her size on the market, the O’Day 22 is basically a daysailer with incidental overnight accommodations, notwithstanding that her builder (or its ad agency) made much of its questionable comfort, privacy, and space.

The cockpit of the O’Day is almost perfect: a spacious 6-1/2′ long, the seats are spaced to allow bracing of feet on the one opposite, and the coaming provides a feeling of security and serves as a comfortable arm rest. It is also self-bailing although the low sill at the companionway means that the lower hatch board must be in place to prevent water going below in the event of a knockdown.

Seat locker space is excellent for a boat of this size with quarterberth below and we like the separate sealed well for the outboard remote gas tank (but not the fact that the hose can be pinched in use).

O’Day literature boasts berths for two couples in “absolute privacy.” Privacy in a 22 footer has to be one of the more relative features. A sliding door encloses the forward cabin and another, the head.

The layout of the O’Day 22 is a noteworthy example of the tradeoff between an enclosed head and berth space. It does indeed have a head area that can be enclosed, a rare feature indeed on a boat of this size. With a conventional marine toilet and throughhull discharge where permitted, this would be a most serviceable facility.

The tradeoff is a pair of terrible vee berths forward. Coming to a point at the forward end, there is simply not enough room for two adults on even the most intimate terms. They are thus suitable only for a pair of small children who do not suffer from sibling rivalry.

By contrast the two settee berths in the main cabin are a bit narrow but a fit place for two adults to sleep. In contrast to the dinette layout of other boats, we think the more traditional layout of the O’Day would be the choice for most owners, especially those cruising with children. However, the settees are not comfortable to sit on, lacking as they do backrests.

The initial version of the O’Day had the then fashionable dinette arrangement but this was quickly replaced by a pair of opposing settees. We doubt if many owners would bother setting up the portable cabin table between the berths, as it prevents the fore and aft passage through the cabin.

The galley with its small sink and space for a twoburner stove is rudimentary but adequate for a boat of this size, Inadequate is the bin/hanging locker opposite the head. Its usefulness escapes us. Enclosed, it could have been better used space. But then the O’Day 22 desperately needs stowage space.

Conclusions

At a minimum trailering weight of 2,200 lbs. (more realistically 2,500 plus the trailer), the O’Day 22 is above the maximum for trailering without a heavy car and special gear.

If she isn’t going to be trailered and launched off a ramp, the 2′ minimum draft is an unwarranted sacrifice of performance and stability. We would look for a fin keel boat unless shoal draft is the highest priority.

On the other hand, with some additional sails and hardware the O’Day 22 should appeal to the sailor who wants a minimum size (and therefore price) boat primarily for daysailing and occasional weekend cruising (maximum one couple plus two young children).

Clearly the O’Day 22 is a minimum boat built tightly to a price. She is attractively styled. As she is apt to be a first boat, resale is important. O’Day boats have enjoyed good value on the used boat market. For about $6,000 for a ten-year-old model, you get a sleek looking small boat with a good cockpit, a modicum of privacy and two good berths. You also get a schlocky decor and a slow boat.

O'Day Div. of Lear Siegler

Approx. trailering wgt.: 3,200 lbs.

The 21- and 22-foot size range is a good length of boat for newish sailors starting out or those moving up from a beach boat or small daysailer. All four boats in this comp group fit that category. The O'Day 222 shown here is a follow-on to the popular O'Day 22 (page 118). The 222 has a deeper board-up draft, but also a deeper board-down draft, which improves upwind performance. Best features: The O'Day 222's size and modest sailplan and masthead rig make her relatively simple to sail. Worst features: Her Space Index is lowest of the comp group, as is her headroom. Beware, big and tall people. Her outboard is mounted on her transom, a long way from the helmsman's control. The mainsheet, led aft to the transom, can become entangled with the outboard under certain conditions; some owners have installed a traveler in the forward end of the cockpit to eliminate this problem. The O'Day 222's rudder was made in a sandwich of two fiberglass skins with foam in between. Owners report their rudders are easily broken (e.g., carried away for the same reason as the O'Day 22's rudder). Chainplates also seem to be a weak point, and bear frequent inspection.

Readers' Questions

Does oday 222 have positive floation?

No, Oday 222 does not have positive flotation. Flotation refers to a boat's ability to float and the Oday 222 is a sailboat which does not have any special features to increase flotation.

Is oday rudder made of led?

No, it is not possible to make a rudder out of LED. Rudder and other controlling surfaces of a boat usually use materials such as metal alloys, fibreglass or wood, as these provide more strength and durability than LED.

How to rig a oday 222?

Prepare the rigging for sailboat: Attach the jib halyard to the sail head, lashing the jib sheet to the clew and leading it aft to the cockpit. Connect the topping lift to the boom, running it aft to the cabin top. Install the mainsail halyard and mainsheet, tying it off to the boom. Adjust the outhaul: This is the rope that runs from the clew of the mainsail to the end of the boom. Adjust the length of the rope to make the foot of the sail tight. Adjust the Preventer: This is a line that runs from the starboard stern of the boat to the end of the boom. It helps support the boom in high wind situations and should be adjusted so that the boom is at an appropriate angle while sailing. Secure the jib sheets: Make sure the jib sheets are tied off at the jib clew, and that the sheets rotate freely in the fairleads. Adjust the jib halyard: Make sure the jib halyard is adjusted to the correct length so that the sail sits at the correct angle. Rig the downhaul: Attach the downhaul line to the clew of the jib, running it forward to the cabin top. Adjust the line so that the sail is flat and tight when tacking. Secure the traveler: Attach the traveler line to the port side of the cockpit and adjust so that the boom is positioned at an appropriate angle to the boat. Secure the mainsail traveler: This is a line that runs from the base of the mast to the aft of the boat. It helps control the angle of the mainsail and should be adjusted to the appropriate angle. Check the boat’s balance: Make sure the

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
