Fiberglass is in remarkably good condition for a boat that's almost 40. At some point a compression post was installed under the mast, which definitely stabilizes the mast and the deck over the cabin, and the forestay chainplate has also been reinforced.
Below is a link and a copy of a write up of this model that came out when it was introduced in 1969. The ice box they mention is gone, although there's a space to install one. The sink isn't hooked up but the faucet and bowl are there. I always used the boat as a daysailer, so the icebox and sink weren't important to me.
The New O'Day Mariner 2+2 - The World's Roomiest Sailboat of its Size (1969)
From the world's largest producer of fiberglass sailboats comes the all-new Mariner for 1969.
It sleeps four on individual full-length berths. It has a roomy 81/2' self-bailing cockpit, head, galley sink, ice box - and it's only 19'2" long.
Because you can get these accommodations without buying a much larger boat, you save money, retain portability, and have a happy combination of day sailer, racer and overnight cruiser which, despite its redesign, still conforms to class association rules.
The secret's in the designing. A boat like Mariner would be impossible without a talented naval architect behind it. And O'Day boats are made by famous naval architects, professionals who know sailboats from sailing, not just from the drawing board.
Needless to say, in a world of copies and compromises, not all boats are designed this way. The ones that cost less are less.
Mariner is a great boat if you just plain like sailing. The perfect balance between her proven hull design and seven-eights sail plan provide maneuverability, speed and ease of handling. All lines and headsails are handled from the cockpit—an advantage for the novice maneuvering in small areas. Mariner is available with 415-lb. keel or centerboard with 200 lbs. of inside ballast. Both are easily trailed; one person can launch her and step the mast. Mariner is, like all O'Day boats,fully covered by a written warranty.
SPECIFICATIONS
Length: 19'2"; Beam: 7'; Draft: Centerboard model up 10", down 4' 11"; Keel model 3' 3"; Sail Area: 185 square feet.
She's been used only for fresh water sailing as far as I know. We bought her from my sister and brother-in law in 2004 and towed her here from Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. We've kept the boat stored inside when not in the water, and have only sailed her in Lake Okatibbee and Ross Barnett reservoir since then. She was safely tucked in my garage when Katrina hit 2005, which is why she's still in good shape.
My doctor tells me that with my aging back I shouldn't be stepping the mast. If I was going to keep her I'd give her a paint job, but other than that she's ready to sail.
