Re: Keel problems on V 2-22

Thanks guys for your response. I'm not experienced in fiberglass work so I need some advice. From what I saw of the metal part of my keel, it is a flat slab of steel. Steve, I looked at you pics and want to know how to get the foil shape (BTW your finished keel looks like an airplane wing - very nic...

Parts Source for 2-22

I live in Florida and was wondering if anyone knows of a parts source for my 1971 2-22 closer to me then Blue Water Yachts. I need keel pivot and lock down bolts with rubber washers. Would also like to get a new cable for the keel winch and attachment bolt. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Florida Cruise Dec.27-Jan 1st

Hi,
I just bought a 222 and have started refurbishing it. When done I'd like to go with your group. How often do you take group cruises? I live west or Orlando.

Re: Venture 2-22 Owners out there

Hi, Just bought a 1971 2-22. Boats in good shape except for the normal keel problems. Got all the original sails and they are in great shape! Once I get the keel problem fixed and replace some of the rigging I'll be ready to go. Living in Florida you can sail year around.

I'm the proud owner of a, just purchased, 1971 Venture 2-22. I haven't sailed since I was a teen and when I did it was in small boats. I am very excited to get back into sailing after 45 years.
