The O'Day 272 is an American sailboat that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt of C.R. Hunt & Associates and first built in 1985.[1][2][3]
Production
The design was built by O'Day Corp., a division of Lear Siegler, in the United States from 1985 until 1989, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4][5]
Design

The O'Day 272 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel or a tiller and an externally fastened fixed wing keel. It displaces 5,375 lb (2,438 kg) and carries 1,930 lb (875 kg) of ballast.[1][3][6]
The boat has a draft of 2.92 ft (0.89 m) with the standard wing keel fitted. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although a gasoline or diesel inboard engine was a factory option. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.42 kn (11.89 km/h).[3]
