Re: New to me Venture 22

Oh and today I installed a new battery, an inverter, and a solar panel. I would love to mount the panel on a rail so it's not in the way.

Re: New to me Venture 22

I was wondering, does anyone know if a stern rail from a 24, 25, or 26 would fit my 22? Are they approx the same width?

Re: New to me Venture 22

Thanks! I was wondering, should the mast be straight, or should it be angled back? If so, about how much. I was looking at other sailboats and noticed they were raked back, some even curved back. Is it for performance reasons?

Re: New to me Venture 22

Well, everything is pretty much done. Today was a big day for me as I got to launch it and keep it at my own slip. I need to install a bilge pump and a radio, and I think that will be it. Feels good.. Cant wait to get sailing!

Re: 71' Venture 222 Interior

I used interlux brightside to paint my boat. I will use the leftover eventually for my interior, but I think any paint will do inside. Interlux also makes a primer for it called pre-kote, but I didn't need primer.

Re: New to me Venture 22

Thanks! I'll get interior pics up as soon as I can and on the water pics as soon as the ice melts.
Does anyone know any proper way to wash sails? Mine are in good shape, I would just like to whiten them up.

Re: Winter Project

Hey nice boat, dumb question, is a bow sprit necassary to use spinnaker? Are there other reasons you installed one.
