Nest Egg is an O'Day 40 racer/cruiser with many innovative features. She incorporates the best of all worlds with a spacious, well-appointed, comfortable interior and a safe sailing platform that will perform well across the wind spectrum.
The interior features a beautiful, exceptionally bright, airy, and spacious main salon. An open layout provides ample storage and excellent ventilation, making the boat feel even more significant than it is. Two large staterooms, a forward V-berth, and a double-berth stern cabin round out the interior.
The cockpit is a roomy 7 feet long. All winches are located within the cockpit, and all leads are brought back to the cockpit so the boat may be operated easily shorthanded.
The O'Day 40 is the most completely outfitted, spacious, and luxurious yacht ever presented by O'Day. If you're looking for a clean, well-maintained boat with two private cabins, Nest Egg is for You!
Accomodations
Master stateroom: The Owner's cabin, located aft, has a hanging locker, a folding vanity, and a seat with a compartment underneath for the two house batteries (initially, the compartment held a manual head that the new owner could replace). The athwartship berth measures 7' x 4'6" with 4" fabric-covered foam cushions. It has a storage area under the berth with the engine battery compartment to port. There are cubbies, fiddled shelves on the hull port bulkhead, and reading lights. Ventilation is abundant, with an overhead hatch and three opening ports. The forward end of the stateroom has a changing area with an engine compartment to port and a folding vanity to starboard.
Forward stateroom: The V berth forward stateroom is spacious, with two chests of drawers and a changing seat—the V-berth measures 6'6" x 6' with 4" fabric-covered foam cushions. Fiddled shelves line each side of the hull forward of the drawers, and there is a large overhead hatch for ventilation. There is a wind scoop with a screen for the hatch. The holding tank with intake, switching, discharge valves, and a manual pump-out pump are under the V berth. A door opens to the corridor aft, where on the starboard side, there is a hanging locker and shelf to augment the forward storage space.
Head: A two-compartment head is on the port side of the passageway. The vanity area has a sink with a cabinet below and a mirrored cabinet with a top shelf above. The shower compartment has a manual head, a teak slat seat covering the toilet to provide seating, a teak shower grate, a shower wand, and a large storage cabinet. There is an electric pump for the shower sump. Two opening ports and an overhead hatch provide plenty of ventilation in this space.
Main Cabin: Along the passageway starboard side is a large hanging locker and a cabinet with a drawer below and a shelf above. Aft of that is a 6'4" long settee with 5" fabric-covered faric cushions and curved backrests. There is an insert to convert the dinette to a double berth, increasing the sleeping capacity to seven. The settee berths have Lee cloths. Storage is behind the settee and above, with a shelf and two lockers overhead. On port, a u-shaped 6'10" dinette with a drop leaf table on the centerline. The dinette settee storage and cushions are the same as on the starboard side. A flat-screen TV is located on the forward bulkhead. A centerline table with two folding leaves is situated between the settees. Ventilation is provided by a large hatch in the center, two dorade vents, four opening ports, and a small overhead hatch. There are numerous overhead and reading lights.
Galley: Located at the base of the companionway on the port, the galley is U-shaped and is well laid out, with a generous amount of counter space. A large double stainless steel sink is located towards the centerline on the forward end of the space with an opening for a wastebasket to port, followed by the stove/oven along the hull side. Behind that counter are numerous organizer compartments at the counter level and cabinets above. At the aft end of the space, there is a large, refrigerated icebox and an overhead louvered door storage cabinet.
Nav station: The nav station is located aft the settee on starboard. The top is large enough for a chart book and has storage below it. All electrical and electronic components are behind it and within easy reach. A swing stool secures beneath the top when not in use.
