4. It's a '73 Venture Newport.........
Edited on Sat Feb-21-04 04:44 PM by Oz
It looks bigger than it is. It's 23' but cutter rigged. It has a bow sprit so end to end it's about 26'.
Fun boat and inexpensive. Has a pop-top with berths for 5, head, galley, etc...... and trailerable with swing keel.

7. It has a ............
Johnson 9.9 outboard. The engine isn't on it in the picture.
You can usually pic these boats up for under $2,000.00 with engine and trailer. The tough part is finding one.

9. We used to lease a 27' C& C
fully equipped ...everything but the booze...for about $275 per weekend...with 4 of us it wasn't a bad thing.

When my friends moved away I didn't have anybody to share the costs with. It's been about 6 years since we sailed Lake Superior...Chequamegon (Sha-wam-a-gin) Bay.

10. Mine is hot, Swedish, and my wife isn't jealous of it
My passion and obsession is photography. My main camera is a Hasselblad 503CW and like a boat, it is an expensive hobby.



My other hobby is the lovely Mrs. Clark4Prez
