Looks pretty good, Gunner.
If the sails shape as well, you are going to be ok.


The original jib and main are about 35 yrs old...but still pocket
properly. I suspect the boat didnt get much time before I wound up
with it. Both sails are very light and not coated..about 5oz dacron.
I picked up an 150% genoa from a gal in Wisconson for $25 and $24
shipping..she had a good sail locker from a Balboa 20..same rig..but I
only wanted the genny and she sent it to me. A nearly new sail! Great
genny with good material..bout 8 oz and coated. The sail bag it came
in said "genoa, Balboa 20, # 666" ...which did give me something of a
twinge..but its a damned nice genny and since much of our wind is
lightish...will be greatly needed.

The V24 has 5 bags of sails and Ive not spread them out yet..though I
did notice one was marked "storm jib". Its been rigged for a
chute..but dont know if there is one in there or not. Next weekend Ill
lay out my sails and see what Ive got.

The Ensenada 20 is considered a slow but very very stable boat with
very little heel even in good gusts. I hope the genny makes up for it
and Im looking for a chute for it as well.

I know going into it..that the Venture 24 is considered tender and I
will be working the main a lot.
