Tyson, went to Sailboat Data.com, but could not find a sprite 19, they did buy and manufacture the rhoads 19 wl finn keel & cb. Post a pic and maybe we can figure this out. Sailboat data will give the rigg dimensions. Michael..

Hi,
Bought a '72 O'Day sprite for my kids and I need the sail rigging plan. Anyone have any idea where I could get this info? I've searched online and haven't found much available.
Thanks!

I'm not saying that the deck is bad, it's just that sqeezing silicone rubber rubber around deck fittings looks bad and often times doesn't stop the leaks your attempting to stop. Removing, cleaning and re-bedding the fittings looks better and seals better. I would use LifeCaulk. It's easier to work with and cleans up easier. Avoid 5200 because it could make the fitting impossible to remove without damaging the deck. Another place to check for leaks are the thru-hull fittings near the water line. When your sailing and bobbing around water could be coming from there, and it would be intermittent: just a thought.

We have a '78 22' with shoal keel. So it sounds like the deck to you as well. I guess I'll have to try to find someone that can go below with a wrench, while I unscrew things from above.
Thank you.

Jim:
What model O'Day do you have? It will be more work, but I advise removing the "deck hardware", cleaning the base and the deck, recaulk and rebed the hardware.

James Taylor commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have no idea!
Maybe you can call Beneteau with your manufacture's Identification Number and Beneteau can give you the hull number."
