Venture sighted in BC

Post by Chinook »

On our recent explore of Eutsuk Lake in interior British Columbia (see Mac On Rails post in Powersailer Discussion Board page) one of the two private boats we saw in over two weeks of cruising turned out to be a Venture sailboat. It was a 1973 model if I remember correctly, and about 20 feet in length. It looked a little tired, and had been substantially modified. Pop top had been removed long ago and a hard top installed in its place. Current owner, a forester from Smithers, BC, had inherited the boat from his recently deceased brother, and was taking an exchange student from New Zealand out for a sail in it. It was great to see that boat out and in service in such spectacular and remote surroundings.
