An oldie, but goodie! Merlin, a well-cared for Oday 28 being offered at a great price! Known for their comfortable layout and awesome sailing characteristics, this one is equipped with an 18 HP Yanmar Sail Drive diesel, installed in 2000

Complete with Dodger, Bimini fly and sail cover, Merlin is equipped with a Doyle battened Mainsail and a Doyle 130% Genoa with new sun cover. ('25)

Cockpit cushions add to an already comfortable cockpit that features newly rebuilt wheel steering quadrant ('24). Varnish was redone in 2023 and looks great.

Nicely laid out interior is comfortable and features new upholstery. (2023)
