The O’Day 40 was originally designed by French IOR designer Phillip Briand for Jeanneau and sold as the Sun Fizz. Some modifications (mainly interior and most notably the large aft cabin with king-size berth) resulted in the O’Day 40. Day Star is a good all-around sailer, on the performance end of the cruising-boat spectrum.
