The O'Day 240 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C.R. Hunt & Associates as a cruiser and first built in 1988.[1][2][3]
The O'Day 240 design was developed into the similar O'Day 250 in 1996.[1][3][4]
The design was built by O'Day Corp., as part of Lear Siegler, in the United States. The boat was built from 1988 until 1989, but it is now out of production.[1][3][5][6]
Design
The O'Day 240 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 3,600 lb (1,633 kg) and carries 1,200 lb (544 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 2.67 ft (0.81 m) with the standard wing keel.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. It also has two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located opposite the galley on the port side. Cabin headroom is 69 in (175 cm) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 231 and a hull speed of 6.1 kn (11.3 km/h).[3]
