About
This 1976 O-Day 25 was recently acquired from Oswego NY and sailed up from Fair Haven to become part of the fleet. She's sailed the southern shores of Lake Ontario for most of her life. She has more room than any other 25' boat you'll find with easy stand up ability below and a private head separate from the salon. The brand new 5hp Honda runs perfectly and you'll have no problem in or out of the marina. She has a decent set of sails including jib and genoa, and seeps four comfortably. With a fixed wing keel and draft of about 3', you'll be able to easily visit all our islands.
