Yeah, VoN. That's it. Looked at one (yellow hull) in Joisey. A little too
small for us. Don't they have more shear line than a 21?

Yes, the "Venture of Newport" which was intended to cash in on the growing
popularity of classic boats at that time.

Not to disillusion you Scott but it is really just a Venture 21 with a
bowsprit
& quarter rail screwed on. It is pretty cool looking though. There is one
that
sails a lake nearby, the owner has changed it to a quasi-gaff rig, added a
row
of bronze portholes, and some other old-timey nautical gear. Makes you
want to
grab a rusty cutlass and shout "Argh, matey!"
