This Venture Newport 23 turns heads everywhere she sails !

This is a cutter rig with a forestay at the end of the bowsprit and another at the bow, giving lots of sailplan options to have the right amount of sail hoisted for the winds encountered. You can put up both jibs and the main for those light wind days... If you are crusing single-handed, the jib-boom tacks automatically -- just as easily as the main does -- when you think "helms alee."

Great for kids- Mainsail with Lateen rig, similiar to a "Sunflower", weighs approx 55 lbs, plastic hull with vinyl top surface, plywood centerboard and rudder, good, but not great condition. Rated for up to 300 lbs, but adults have to somewhat sit/lay down to sail it comfortably.

Contact Woody Chenault 217-840-4271 cell or wchenault@net66.com to arrange to see the boat at our Monticello area home just off Route 10 on your way to the lake.

Perfect match next to Hughs Hobie 16! Why not buy both for a thousand? Ready to race or cruise..in need of a younger body to sail her. Hughs Hobie is probably in better condition so if just want one Hobie..buy his!

Want to cruise on a budget?
 
This Windrose 22 (by Lugar) was designed to do just that... For more cruising headroom, the Windrose 22 has a rounded roof (like a Chrysler 26 )AND pop-top.
 
The double drop-leaf table is centered over the keel trunk and "virtually disappears" when the "ears" folded down.
 
There are fiddled shelves on port and starboard for your books and other smaller items...
 

Hobie Cat 16 for sale, $500 OBO
Our orange 16 ft Hobie cat on the beach at Clinton sailing cove is from the late 1970's and in sailing shape, albeit not very pretty. It comes with a useable trailor. We have not had time to use it much the past couple of years, sailing our cabinboat more, and will be away next year so have decided to part with it. Alternatively, if you would just like to be able to use it for a year, you could pay the "landstorage" marina fee for 2009 (about $350?). My email is hughrobe at uiuc.edu and phone is 217-778-1320.
