The O’Day 272, launched in the mid1980s, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the O’Day Corporation, marking a departure from traditional fullkeel or centerboard designs toward modern, performanceoriented cruising. Designed by the prestigious firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the 272 was engineered to maximize interior volume and sailing stability within a package that remained easily trailerable or dockable in shallowwater environments. The vessel is perhaps best known for its implementation of a shallowdraft wing keel, a design choice that allowed the boat to draw just 2' 11", making it a perennial favorite for sailors in the Chesapeake Bay, the Florida Keys, and the Great Lakes. During its production run, O'Day also released a "Limited Edition" variant, the 272 LE, which featured upgraded interior amenities and often included a factoryinstalled inboard diesel engine, contrasting with the standard model's common outboard configuration.
