The Venture 222 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Roger MacGregor as a cruiser and first built in 1971.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel.
[1][3] The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the keel extended and 12 in (30 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
[3] The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, drop-down dinette table that forms a small double berth on the starboard side of the main cabin and an aft quarter berth on the port side.
The galley is located on the port side just aft of the bow cabin and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink.
