Gee, Wal You got me reminiscing about my first monohull, an Oday 27. I kept "Steinlocker" for 8 years, even sailed it a few months after I purchased "Touche'" since "Touche'" was undergoing a lot of work including pulling the engine.
A few months after I bought "Steinlocker", an article appeared in a now defunct local sailing magazine about a sistership. A guy who had dreams of sailing his outboard equipped Oday 27, "Quest" from Lake Pontchartrain to Scandinavia or someplace got into a storm a few miles out of the lake and washed up on the Chandeleur Islands. Anyway, I Googled "Oday 27" for images and was looking at pictures of Oday 27's just for grins when I found the 1991 article on "Quest". Sounds like a sailor ill-prepared for what he ran into. <http://gulflatitudes.com/2013/12/23/oday-27-slams-into-chandeleur-islands/> Dennis C.
