1980 O’Day 25 CB Sailboat

If you want to just go sailing and have a lesson for the day it’s I’ll throw in beers and burgers lol. But don’t waste my time asking questions about purchasing just to go for a free sailing day and free lessons!

Update: lowered price substantially and just took her for a weekend trip to Cocoa village to see a free concert on anchor!

k bottom line for the boat ready to sail to Bahamas today.

At this price it’s only the boat, solar and inverter with the newer Suzuki DF20A, dishes, fridge and some accessories. NO DINGHY NO ACCESSORIES LIKE SPARE RADIO AND SPARE GPS UNIT, NO FILET BOARD AND ROD HOLDERS. You get a clean boat ready to sail off today with a full solar and lithium setup with fridge and basic cheap life vests, near new and serviced Suzuki DF20A and a lot more upgrades. If you want all the gear complete price is non negotiable. That is $8k less than it’s worth with all accessories.

WILL TRADE FOR A NICE 30 - 32 FOOT SAILBOAT OR CUDDY CABIN DUAL MOTOR BOAT OR NICE CLEAN CLASS C RV MOTORHOME. Needs to be in good working order no junk no major projects. For the right trade I may consider taking on some work but no structural repairs. Optimally looking for a Catalina 30-32 or similar class vessel OR 2000 or newer class C RV lower miles.

4/1/26 I now have Val on an annual live aboard slip in Titusville! Easy to view the boat and take her for a test sail now. I prefer to keep my slip but I am negotiable, we can talk about that once an offer is made in person. It’s the best marina around period.

I just got back from the Bahamas on another 3 week trip completely off grid. The boat will be in Titusville ready to view by 4/30/26

CLEAN TITLE IN MY NAME AND CURRENTLY REGISTERED AND INSURED. Not a derelict boat or a worn out junker. Ready to sail, race or live aboard.

1980 Oday 25 CB excellent original condition with tons of upgrades. Inside and out this is a rare find! A super clean garage kept since new (except the past 7 years) trailerable sailboat. I am the 3rd loving owner. Valhalla is a 25’ Mast head sloop 2’6” shoal draft with center board down she drafts 6’. There’s approximately 4,800lb of lead ballast in the shoal keel. She can point as high as 27-28 degrees into the wind with the keel down and a storm jib and main out. I routinely get her above hull speed (6.5knots) and regularly hit 7 plus knots without heeling over too much. She turns on a dime as well. Very cool boat.

2023 Suzuki df20A with bay extension outboard on drop bracket and custom aluminum wedge plate. Less than 300 hours and all maintenance done.

Brand new Mantus 17lb main anchor with 150’ or so of rode, 25’ of that is stainless chain and a custom bow roller with two new Mantus snubbers and a Mantus stainless mooring snap shackle! I have a spare 18lb Danforth with some chain and 150’ of line as well.

Comes with 5 sails. The main has an older blue sunbrella cover and there is an older hank on blue sunbrella jib cover as well. Main sail is fully battoned, there is a spare main sail, a Genoa, a jib and a storm jib all in good usable condition. They are old but work well! I’ve sailed 2k miles no issues.

Everything was serviced in March including winches, center board, ropes, you name it, it was checked and tested in working order on this trip I just completed to the Bahamas. There is minimal maintenance needed.

Brand new dual automatic bilge pumps all new bungs.

New (March 2025) Full bottom job ablative antifouling and epoxy base coat. Was off the water a full year after my previous trip in storage and only back on the water now for 3 weeks as of 4/27/26.

The full package of near new equipment is included at a k : 2023 9’6” Saturn dinghy with 2023 2.5hp Suzuki with less than 50 hours on it, the battery powered automatic dinghy pump, 2 off shore auto inflating life vests as well as a couple back up foam vests, AC, power cords, 1k watt with 1800w surge true sign inverter, 280ah lithium pack, victron unit, 350w solar awning and panel, fridge and freezer, marine Jon, depth sensor heel angle water temp and speed, huge Garmin chart plotter, sonar, AIS, wind speed, marine radio with ais and emergency location sos, off shore flare kit, first aid kit, 5 gallon sink water tank and powered faucet, tons of hardware and spare parts, tool kits, butane stove, magma propane bbq, pot and pan, knives forks spoons etc as well as a rechargeable blender, ice maker, k pod coffee machine, rechargeable fans, solar led flood lights, fillet table, rod holders, raymarine st2000 auto tiller, brand new 100ah lithium battery pack for the motor (and a slick blue tooth parallel unit to use as backup to the house lithium! Each lithium pack has a digital meter inside the cabin. There is a nice stainless swim ladder as well. Plenty of spare lines and fenders. Literally everything you need to take off tomorrow and explore The Bahamas except the food gas and water!

All lights are led with the exception of one flood light for the bow.

Make me an offer I can’t refuse. I am in this boat over k with all the equipment and custom work. I’ve enjoyed her immensely on my many journeys around Florida from the ICW to off shore, the entirety of the Keys to the entirety of the Abacos and some Exumas, the Berries, Bimini and Gun Kay / Honeymoon Harbor. I’ve off offshore fished and snorkeled wrecks and reefs. Spent many months living aboard while traveling.

She is ready for her next adventures with a new owner. This is the small saiboat you’ve been looking for especially if you want to learn to sail a large world cruiser.

I am only selling in favor of a much much larger yacht. I will be sailing full time soon and Val is just too small to travel the world in unfortunately.
