Price: $40,000

Located in New Bedford, MA


The O’day 35 is an excellent sailing (PHRF 144), comfortable, solidly built cruiser with superior glass and gel-coat and a built-in swim-step.


Interlude has just undergone an extensive refit from top to bottom, completed in Spring 2023 to bring her into Bristol condition. Starting with a two-owner, lightly sailed New England boat in excellent condition, EVERYTHING has been replaced or refurbished and improved. All work is first-rate with quality components, better than OEM. Needs nothing – if you look at 50 boats, this will be the nicest.


Mast and Rigging:
· New anchor light, Steaming/deck light combo, all wiring, VHF cable and antenna.
· New Mast Head Sheaves and Boom Sheaves.
· All new standing rigging.
· All new running rigging.
· New ProFurl C320 roller furler.
· New custom chainplates, epoxy potted and re-bedded.
· Sail control lines brought back to the cockpit: all new mast base blocks, deck organizers and rope clutches.


Deck:
· Deck is clean, solid and dry, hardware has been removed, moisture intrusion addressed, epoxy potted and rebedded.
· All new cleats.
· New anchor locker hinges.
· New lifelines
· All new Stainless Steel deck fills.
· Winches re-chromed.
· 6 new Lewmar Standard opening portlights (look much better).
· Exterior teak re-finished, synthetic teak toe-rail.
Hull:
· The hull is in excellent condition with gelcoat that puts newer boats to shame.
· The bottom was sandblasted (zero blisters), barrier coat and ablative paint applied hot for chemical adhesion.
· New rudder from Foss Foam (superior design).
· All new Groco flanged through-hulls with proper backing plates.
· Bonding system re-wired.
· Clean and dry bilge.
· Keel was shipped to Mars Metal in Canada who installed 7 new 316 Stainless Steel keel bolts, stripped and faired the keel and epoxy coated it. The keel was re-installed by International Marine Composites in Bristol, RI (factory keel installer for J-Boats) and is better than when the boat left the factory. Three of the original keel bolts had corrosion only visible when the nuts and washers were removed – can happen to any boat from this era, no worries with this boat.
