With this information about # 1200 (if true), I think more and more that ours, # 1001, is very likely a 1961.
It would be nice to know how many Daysailers the O'Day Company made each year...

Should we add a column?

I'm going to go out on a limb and postulate that from 1965 on, it's closed and connected to the bow tank. Just a guess, but I bet it was part of the 1965 design changes.
