The design was developed into theVenture 222 in 1971, with just some minor changes.[1][3][4]
The design was built byMacGregor Yacht Corporation in theUnited States from 1967 until 1975, but it is now out of production.[1][3][5]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the lifting keel extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water,beaching or ground transportation on atrailer.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW)outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double"V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee and a drop-down dinette table that converts into a double berth in the main cabin.
