Cost of parts/ownership for the smaller boat definitely was a factor in deciding to look, as was the close (<1 hour) distance to me. I wasn't planning on actually "shopping" for a boat til spring, but I decided to give this a shot since it has the potential to be a steal. | | | 10-09-2012, 23:22 | | Boat: 22' Westerly Nomad | 22', big waves 2 miles out of Biscayne Bay. | | 10-09-2012, 23:27 | | Boat: 22' Westerly Nomad | 22' Westerly Nomad - | | | 12-09-2012, 16:29 | | Boat: New Horizons 25' | 22 I looked at today. First of all, I am not going to it. Although the boat didn't seem to be a total wreck, it had been neglected badly for several years. I didn't even bother to look at the sails he brought with him, although I'll give him a kudos for storing them off the boat, since he hadn't even checked on it this calender year. I'm quite sure that anyone who has looked at old small sailboats has seen everything I'm about to describe, but I'll do it anyway, as well as post some pics. (low res, since my digital didn't and I was forced to use only my cell) First off, there was nothing special about the boat. It had no , , , , or upgrades that I could see at all. The seemed to be mostly sound, even around chainplates and stanchions, but I honestly only gave that a cursory look since by then I knew I wasn't going to buy it. The owner informed me that it leaked when it rained, and the would rise over the sole at times of heavy rain. He wasn't sure where it leaked, but my guess is everywhere, including a very ill fitting . He had no keys for the padlocks, and I was slightly worried he was trying to sell me someone else's boat. To get inside I slid the to the point where the padlock was tight and then heaved out and the plastic popped out of it's tracks. All at his direction, by the way. There was water in the bottom (Forgive me if I have the terminology wrong, but to my understanding, the small swing boats such as this don't truly have a "bilge") which had stagnated badly, and the entire inside was filthy. the were surprisingly nice looking, but I believe two were missing. The trailer was an absolute wreck, but the seller was quick to point out it was a 1990 model. Tires were dry rotted, lights were taped on or missing, all the very exposed wire was sun damaged and brittle. The bow eye had pulled out, been replaced with a u-bolt, and pulled out again. The was the only real "damage" I saw, but again, I didn't look all that hard. In retrospect I wish I had spent more time looking for soft spots on the and checking things like the keel pivot bolt and cable, just so I would have a better idea next time I go look. Hopefully the next boat will be in at least good enough shape to warrant an actual and not just a cursory look. On the positive side of things, I believe a 22' trailer sailor would be a workable size for my purposes. It may be a touch small, but the ability to easily store it and move it myself should be an acceptable off. | | | 12-09-2012, 16:41 | | Boat: 22' Westerly Nomad | lifestyle.

I did replace the as it was too unreliable- looked like it was from the 70's also. The hulls and decks of the Ventures are thick solid glass and well built. The boat handles waves well, but really prefers light wind- less than 15 knots. I've only sailed it at a lake, so the is always gusty. Anything over 10 knots and I have the main reefed. We've never slept on the boat due to the lack of space and room. The early Ventures are great starter boats and I highly recommend them: , solid and easy to maintain.

Captain grogGood morning, I recently purchased according to the bill of sale a 1970 venture 24. I'm not sure what the difference is between a 2-24 and a 24 is, mine is a fractional rig can anybody help me? Thanks Do you have the serial # off the boat. I don't know if they put them on the back right side of the transom back then. It could be inside somewhere. Maybe even under the cockpit. Post those #'s and someone will tell you. Welcome to the forum. Here is a link to a really helpful site. sailboatdata.com It will show the small differences between the models. Edit: It looks like they 2-24 wasn't built until 1971. So I'd say its a Venture 24. Link: http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=68 Seems they made them for 3 years. If it has a pop top cabin it is a 2-24, if not it is a 24. This is how MacGregor designated the models. i.e. V-22, V-222. Thanks for the information , it has a pop top I will look under the cockpit tommorrow for some kind of number . Will it be on the overhead or on a bulkhead ID Location On one I had long ago, the numbers were on a 2x6 (one on each side) on the starboard side. The numbers were drilled in using many shallow holes to define the number. Good luck If you have the original mainsail with the original sail #, that will be the hull #. If not there should be a fore/aft stringer on the starboard side under the cockpit. The hull # is drill into that stringer. Let us know how ya make out. Later boats have the serial/hull # molded into the hull on the starboard stern upper mold. Freedom77 said: If you have the original mainsail with the original sail #, that will be the hull #.

I picked up my Venture 21 at the factory in Costa Mesa in December 1970. Those original sails had a different number than the hull number drilled into the stringer under the cockpit. I always assumed it was a mistake at the factory. Since I had driven from Michigan where we lived to pick up the boat, I was not about to make a big deal about it. - This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register.

The same construction as the 1 reef sail, except 2 reefs.
THIS WILL ONLY FIT V24, NOT V224 Special Order, 6 Weeks Delivery Time. |
| This sail is a very popular option, and a huge upgrade from the factory sail at a really good price. The heavier cloth will hold its good shape much longer through the life of the sail. Includes one reef at 42" which is a standard first reef rather than the factory sail that had one very deep reef, essentially the second reef with the first reef missing. This gives you the ability to reef sooner and continue to sail comfortably and efficiently longer. Also includes jack lines and "dogbone" tack reef fittings for easier reefing. This sail has a loose foot, meaning that the sail is attached to the boom at the tack and with a single heavy outhaul slide. We have also eliminated the unnecessary bolt and foot rope to give better sail shape throughout the life of the sail.
This is a BWY Exclusive sail that is Built To Order, 6 WEEKS DELIVERY TIME. | | | | | | | $789.00 | $739.00 | $695.00 | | | | A full-radial sail pattern, very cool looking! The price is for the sail alone. You will need sheets, tack hardware, and halyard. We recommend raising your existing halyard if you have roller furling for you headsail, or installing a new halyard 16-24" above your current headstay. This allows the sail to fly with less interference with the headstay and headsail. On the 26M a bow sprit is a nice way to also get less interference with the headstay. Venture 24/224, Venture 25, MacGregor 25, 26C & 26D requires halyard to be raised 24" above headstay.
Does not include sheets |
A nice upgrade from the basic factory sails, 5.0 OZ Dacron, White Dacron UV cover, telltales, sail bag.
These sails feature a hydraulically pressed stainless steel ring for the clew, and reinforced nylon webbing for the head and tack to allow a strong but flexible connection to your furler.
This sail is made to order, 6 weeks delivery | | | | | | | | $549.00 | $439.00 | $389.00 | | | |
This is a nice upgrade from the factory Hank-On 150% Genoa, made with heavier and higher quality fabric. Comes with tell tales and a sail bag, and standard brass push style Hanks to attach to your headstay.
These sails feature a hydraulically pressed stainless steel ring for the clew, now equipped with upgraded Stainless Steel clip hanks for improved durability and easy one hand use.
This sail is made to order, 6 weeks delivery. | |
This is the original factory size jib which did not go all the way to the top of the headstay, it is about 2' short of maximum hoist. MacGregor built these boats with full hoist Genoas, but not quite full hoist Jibs. Most people prefer to use our part # 7203-1V0 which is a more modern full hoist jib which was used on the later model M25 and M26 classic. With brass push style Hanks to attach to the headstay.

This part is CDI part #2010 or "B" in the diagram. | This is the newer winch style mast raising system for use on all MacGregor and Venture boats except the 26M. This system can be used if you don't have a mast raiser at all or if you want to update a block and tackle style system to the newer winch style.
Most boats will need some additional hardware, especially if you don't have any mast raiser at all now.
This system is very specific to the MacGregor Mast and MacGregor hardware and is not sold for or intended to be used on other brands of boats.

If you do not have a good pole order the complete kit, part #3418-1M0 for the 26M or #3418-1V0 for all other MacGregor or Venture boats.
Installation of this kit requires that you drill 2 new holes in the mast raising pole to mount the winch and 1 hole in the mast for the mast raising bail. | | | | | | | | $150.00 | $135.00 | $134.00 | | | | . This part is part "E" in the diagram. |

Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability. The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The lower the better.
