TheO'Day 192 is an Americantrailerablesailboat designed byJohn Deknatel ofC. Raymond Hunt Associates as apocket cruiser and first built in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
The O'Day 192 replaced theO'Day 19 in the company's product line.[1][4]
The design was built byO'Day Corp. as part ofLear Siegler, in the United States between 1984 and 1997, but is out of production.[1][4][5][6]
The O'Day 192 is a recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly offiberglass, with wood trim. It has afractionalsloop rig, araked stem, a slightlyreverse transom, a transom-hungrudder controlled by atiller and a fixed stubkeel with a retractablecenterboard. It displaces 1,400 lb (635 kg) and carries 400 lb (181 kg) of lead ballast.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 4.17 ft (1.27 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.42 ft (0.43 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on atrailer.[1][4]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW)outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double"V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straightquarter berths in the main cabin. There is anice box that can be stowed under thecompanionway ladder. Thehead is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm).[1][4]
The design has aPHRF racing average handicap of 270 and ahull speed of 5.5 kn (10.2 km/h).[4]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the O'Day 192 is a nicely finished update of the O'Day 19. With limited interior space (just room for a child-sized V-berth and two adult-sized quarter berths), the designers decided against including room for a galley, though they did find space for a chemical head beneath the V-berth and an ice chest in the companionway. The low quarter berths have 4' 0" sitting headroom, reduced to 3' 4" over the cushion atop the toilet. Best features: The finish and construction is very good, above and below decks. The comfortable, angled seating in the cockpit and the effective, no-slip non-skid in the cockpit and on deck are also big pluses. Schaeferroller furling is standard, which is a plus, but the jib is sheeted through fixed jib blocks, which limits control of the size and shape of the sail. Worst features: Sail controls are too few and too simple. The 3-to-1mainsheet attached to thebackstay is awkward to release in moderate or strong winds. We'd add a vang, rerig the mainsheet to a block on the cockpit sole, and install jibsheet tracks along the rail."[4]
