We bought a 1977 Venture 222 earlier this year and had a
great summer on it. Now we're interested in buying new sails for next
season. Any ideas where I should look? Also, do you know anyone or where
I might be able to locate an original galley. Ours doesn't have one
though it's supposed to. It would be a nice addition. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Congrats on a job well done! |

Venture 22 this week. It's been stored for 15 years. Owner says it needs
new wood in the cabin. Do you have any advice? Sounds like this will be
a rescue job also. |

I just bought a V 2-22. 1973. Am so happy about it. I am
taking it to CO for a few years to finish college and prepare it for
real sailing, months at a time! I plan for a Galley, extended bed on the
starboard side from the forpeak, compartmentalized port bench, organized
storage under cockpit, and more. It took more than a week of hard work
with over 15 young people to get her sailing again! With all this major
work out of the way, I can focous on the details! Thank you Mariners!!! |

NICE WEBSITE! A FEW YEARS AGO,I ACQUIRED FOR FREE A 1967
VENTURE 21. IT CAME WITH A ? 500 LB CAST IRON KEEL, WHICH I HAD TO
INSTALL BY MAKING A ROLLING,HYDRAULIC JIG! I REPLACED ALL OF THE
STANDING RIGGING,UPGRADED THE MAIN SAIL WITH PLASTIC SLIDERS AND REEF
POINTS. I FOUND A GREAT PRICE ON A HONDA 7 1/2 HP 4 STROKE! ITS NOT A
POPTOP, BUT SHE'S FAST! IT CAME WITH SPINNAKER,STORM JIB,AND
GENOA,WISKER POLE AND ALOT OF RACEWARE! THE TRAILER NEEDED MUCH WORK AND
THE MAST FOOTING HAD TO BE WELDED/REINFORCED. ALL SAID AND DONE, THIS
FREEBEE COST ME ABOUT $3500...WHAT WAS I THINKING??!! IF YOU KNOW ANYONE
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT WANTS TO BUY A RACER, GIVE 'EM MY EMAIL! |

Brett, I have just bought a venture 222 (1971) that seems
to be in extraordinary good shape. couple of questions: 1. the mast step
braket is mounted on top of a 2.5 - 3 inch block of rotted wood. All
similar size boats in the nearby marina have the step bracket mount
directly to the deck. Since it is rotted, I had planned to replace the
wood, but now I am thinking of mounting the step bracket to the deck.
Any thoughts as to why this modification was made and if it is necessary
to replace it? 2. also, there is a mysterious electrical device mounted
to the side of this wooden spacer: a 3/4 " dia perforated tube
about 2.5 inches long with a ceramic filled smaller tube inside the fist
tube. a small gauge wire was epoxed to this rod or small tube and the
wire runs up inside the mast. What is it? Guys at the marine here have
no idea. Doug |

Help! I'm at a crossroads. I own a V-22 aswell as a V2-22,
and I don't know which one to restore. The V-22 has no rigging, mast,
boom or sails, but the V22 does. The V22 is a gutted hull, and the V2-22
has a fiberglass hull liner that is in great shape. I set the mast from
the V22 on the V222 and found out that the shrouds are about 6" too
long. This is telling me that the mast from the V22 is too short for the
V222. I don't know which boat to restore.......Help! |

I sail on Lake Ontario. Our boat is docked at
Pultneyville,just east of Rochester. I also am planning to make a cover
for the pop top on my 2-22. At one time my boat had some type of canvas
as the snaps are still on the inside of the pop top. If you could tell
me how you make out I would geatly appreciate it. Wishing you a good
season of sailing. |

I enjoyed your site - you certainly put a lot of work into
it and your boat. Happy sailing! |

Nice job. I'm redoing a very similar boat, though I'm
doing a MUCH more extensive rebuild, going on a year now. It would help
if you added captions to your pictures, because you can't tell how much
work you did... other than changing out the carpet, what did you do to
"rebuild" your boat? |
