Beautiful Venture 21

Post by 235sailor »

What do you guy's think? I am in the market for an easily trailerable boat. My current boat is such a pain to tow and rig. Original Gelcoat. This boat looks immaculate.

I'd have to sell my boat first. This one will probably get away, but i will look for other V21's after seeing this.

I'm a new owner of a '69 V21 and although this is my first boat I can easily step and unstep the mast. Mine came with a stepping tool consisting of a winch on a pole but it goes up and down very easily. Add to that the fact that it SEEMS pretty easy to single-hand (I'm new so I don't have much to base it on) and you have a pretty fun boat.

I don't have any stepping gear but I always ha e someone else sail with me just for the fact I find it pretty hard to try it yourself with out stepping gear. I also have a venture 21 1973 .

That boat is real clean!
