Great Trailer Sailor
This O’Day 192 is one of the easiest small cruisers to own and move around. The fixed keel with centerboard gives you the stability of a keelboat but still keeps the draft manageable for ramps. Light enough to tow with a midsize SUV, simple to rig at the launch, and forgiving on the water. Whether you want to keep it on a mooring or explore different lakes, it’s a perfect, low‑stress trailer sailor.
