The '''O'Day 192''' is an American [[Engineering:Trailer sailer|trailerable]] [[Engineering:Sailboat|sailboat]] that was designed by John Deknatel of C. Raymond Hunt Associates, as a [[Engineering:Pocket cruiser|pocket cruiser]] and first built in 1984.<ref name="Data">{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/oday-192|title= O'Day 192 sailboat |access-date= 23 September 2021|last= McArthur| first= Bruce |work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/X4s5d|archive-date= 23 September 2021|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/deknatel-john|title= John Deknatel|access-date = 23 September 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/Sap30|archive-date= 11 September 2021|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/hunt-cr-hunt-assoc-raymond|title= Raymond Hunt (C.R.

The O'Day 192 replaced the [[Engineering:O'Day 19|O'Day 19]] in the company's product line.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>

==Production==
The design was built by O'Day Corp., as part of [[Company:Lear Siegler|Lear Siegler]], in the {{wipe|United States}} between 1984 and 1997, but it is now out of production.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/oday-corp|title = O'Day Corp. 1958 - 1989|access-date = 23 September 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/McsVA|archive-date= 11 November 2020|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/lear-siegler-inc|title = Lear Siegler Inc. 1961 - 2002|access-date = 23 September 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/wuTYn|archive-date= 16 October 2020|url-status= live}}</ref>

==Design==
The O'Day 192 is a recreational [[Engineering:Keelboat|keelboat]], built predominantly of [[Chemistry:Fiberglass|fiberglass]], with wood trim. It has a [[Engineering:Fractional rig|fractional]] [[Engineering:Sloop|sloop]] rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a transom-hung [[Engineering:Rudder|rudder]] controlled by a [[Engineering:Tiller|tiller]] and a fixed stub [[Engineering:Keel|keel]] with a retractable centerboard. It displaces {{convert|1400|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|400|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of lead ballast.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>

The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.17|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|1.42|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a [[Engineering:Boat trailer|trailer]].<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>

The boat is normally fitted with a small {{convert|3|to|6|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Engineering:Outboard motor|outboard motor]] for docking and maneuvering.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight quarter berths in the main cabin. There is an ice box that can be stowed under the [[Engineering:Companionway|companionway]] ladder. The [[Engineering:Head (watercraft)|head]] is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is {{convert|48|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 270 and a [[Physics:Hull speed|hull speed]] of {{convert|5.5|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Henkel"/>

==Operational history==
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the O'Day 192 is a nicely finished update of the O'Day 19. With limited interior space (just room for a child-sized V-berth and two adult-sized quarter berths), the designers decided against including room for a galley, though they did find space for a chemical head beneath the V-berth and an ice chest in the companionway. The low quarter berths have 4' 0" sitting headroom, reduced to 3' 4" over the cushion atop the toilet. Best features: The finish and construction is very good, above and below decks. The comfortable, angled seating in the cockpit and the effective, no-slip non-skid in the cockpit and on deck are also big pluses. Schaefer [[Engineering:Roller furling|roller furling]] is standard, which is a plus, but the jib is sheeted through fixed jib blocks, which limits control of the size and shape of the sail. Worst features: Sail controls are too few and too simple. The 3-to-1 mainsheet attached to the [[Engineering:Backstay|backstay]] is awkward to release in moderate or strong winds. We'd add a vang, rerig the mainsheet to a block on the cockpit sole, and install jibsheet tracks along the rail."<ref name="Henkel"/>
