Notes: Just before the demise of both Pearson Yachts and Oday Corp, (Cal boats closed it's doors somewhat earlier) production under the various brands was consolidated at the Pearson plant in RI, USA. The O'DAY 290 was introduced during this period. It is said to be a re-branded version of the CAL 28-2, which, in turn, had been built earlier at the O'Day plant. \nThe O'DAY 290 was also available with a shoal draft 'Sheel' keel.\nInboard engine and wheel steering were also available as options.
