Need help identifying a boat
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:59 pm
Hey guys,
New to boat ownership and was gifted a "free 20ft+ sailboat in decent shape". I didn't have high hopes but Always have wanted a sailboat.
So here she is, I think from Google she is a day sailor but I'm not sure, ik she is a 1973 O'day javelin but that's about it. Owners knew nothing about her they got her 6 years ago from a passed relative. She was in the water in 08 or at lest registered then. Seems they left her sail on the mast out in the weather so I'm sure I'll need a new one, there's a small sail in a bag they gave me, but haven't even begun to research how to sail yet so I'm just guessing it's the front sail. Thanks everyone! The included pictures have another friends sailboat in the back so just ignore it!
