O'Day Sprite Sailboat Sales Information and Specifications (1966)

Pretty and practical, the Sprite is fast becoming the nation's number one junior trainer. Her convertible rig makes it easy for the beginner to learn to sail with a single sail as a catboat and then gain experience with two sails (mainsail and jib) simply by moving the mast back to make a sloop rig. Safe and stable, she is extremely portable and easily carried by two people. Ideal for junior club racing fleets, the Sprite is the least expensive way to get youngsters started in the wonderful, fun filled sport of sailing. Designed by Bob Baker.
