Venture 2-24 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Venture 2-24, produced by Roger MacGregor’s MacGregor Yacht Corp in the late 1960s and early 1970s, represents a pivotal moment in the democratization of American sailing. Designed during an era when fiberglass was still a relatively fresh medium for mass production, the 2-24 was marketed as a "luxury" trailerable cruiser that bridged the gap between smaller, open daysailers and the heavy, fixed-keel yachts of the time. The model name "2-24" often designated the refined two-cabin or upgraded interior layout that set it apart from its smaller predecessor, the Venture 21. Built in Costa Mesa, California, the Venture 2-24 was engineered specifically for the suburban sailor—light enough to be towed by the family sedan of the 1970s yet robust enough to handle coastal hops and overnighting.
