My mast was made by Dwyer Aluminum Mast Company and they can be found online at http://www.dwyermast.com/ . The drawing includes measurements from my mast and the Dwyer part numbers for the attaching hardware. Everything is still available and if your willing to assemble it yourself it's a decent savings over other suppliers such as D & R Marine.
The best price I found for the standing rigging was with http://www.riggingandhardware.com/ . They were considerably cheaper than anyone else and word on the street is that they make a quality product.
I haven't found any of this information on the internet so hopefully someone finds this useful. I took my time and double checked everything to ensure accuracy but I have no way of knowing if O'Day used the same hardware on every boat. Cheers!

Hello Jay. I really enjoyed going through your website; I am restoring a 1975 O'day 22 that I acquired last year. I'm grateful to you for putting the riggingandhardware.com link in your site.
I did notice a couple differences in the rigging between your diagram and my what I have. My rig has 5/32" cable and 5/16" pins and studs. Also, my back- and forestays use fork ends, and the shrouds and sidestays use eyes (the reverse from your diagram; couldn't figure this one out).
Hope all goes well; it looks like it won't be until next year for me when when my O'day stops being a project and starts being a boat.

Hello Dave,
I hope you found something useful here. I would really like to exchange some information with you as I now wonder if any of my standing rigging is original and correct. Please contact me at jayholmberg@gmail.com if you'd be willing to exchange some dimensions.
Is the boom extrusion the same as the mast? I'm purchasing a '73 and the boom is missing.
