Carlson, emerges as a captivating blend of performance and simplicity, perfectly embodying O'Day's commitment to accessible sailing. Produced during a period when fiberglass was revolutionizing boat building, this masthead sloop was conceived as a spirited day-sailer with a compact but functional cabin, appealing to sailors who sought enjoyable performance without excessive complexity. Its sleek lines and responsive handling quickly established its reputation as a "beautiful design" that "presaged the current crop of retro-looking daysailers."
