The O’Day 23-1, commonly referred to as the Series 1 or "Lift-Top" model, represents a pivotal era in the 1970s when O’Day Corp. sought to blend trailerability with genuine cruising comfort. Designed by the prestigious firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, this 23-foot sloop was engineered to maximize interior volume without sacrificing the shallow-draft capabilities required for coastal gunkholing. Produced between 1971 and 1975, the 23-1 is distinguished from its successor, the Series 2, by its unique "pop-top" cabin roof—a fiberglass section that elevates on struts to provide standing headroom while at anchor. This model serves as a testament to the Hunt firm’s ability to bring sophisticated hull geometries to the mass-market pocket cruiser.
