O’Day 192
About the O’Day
Acquired in 2013, the O'Day 192 at Greenwood Lake is the latest addition to SEAS Bergen's fleet. The boat's name is still under consideration. The chapter uses a membership model for use of the boat, with any SEAS member of any chapter also eligible to become a member of the Greenwood Lake O'Day.
The O'Day is a 19 foot sloop with a swing keel and is fitted with an outboard motor. All O'Day members are invited to crew on sails led by qualified skippers. The O'Day is seen as a natural progression from our Basic Sailing course to learn on a larger boat using an outboard motor, towards becoming a skipper of this day sailer. Many members progress to taking the keelboat course on the chapter's 27' Catalina - The Zephyr, docked in Haverstraw Marina on the Hudson.
The boat slip is located at Sportsmens’ Moosehead Marina in Greenwood Lake, NJ (254 Lakeside Road, Hewitt, NJ 07421). If you are looking for easy accessible lake sailing from Northern, NJ at an affordable price, this is the boat for you. Many of the boat's members became qualified skippers in just one year, and then can take the boat for a sail whenever the schedule and weather allows.
Becoming a Member
O’Day annual memberships are available in three levels.
The first-mate pass
For well-qualified sailors on the path to becoming skippers. A first mate will be able to schedule the boat and call a crew of their choosing. They will arrange for a skipper. The first mate will be able to make decisions about what the sail will do. A first mate could arrange a "sail" that is solely to practice docking if that's what they wanted.
The first mate pass is convertible. If a first mates qualifies as a skipper during the season, they can "top up" their pass for $125.
The First Mate Pass is open to approved O'Day sailors. Contact oday@bergen.saileas.com for approval.
Skippers
For approved O’Day skippers who want the right to reserve the boat at any day during sailing season. Contact oday@bergen.saileas.com for information.
Sailors who want to support expenses
For anyone who sails on the O’Day, donations are appreciated to offset maintenance, dock rental and insurance.
