Through the 1970s and 80s Newbridge Boats, later known as NB Yachts, were based first in Bridport and later in Chard, and built a number of small yachts, the first of which were the low elegant Corribee 21s and the heavier, chunkier Virgo Voyager 23s.

Although both were popular, the market market soon demanded more interior space than could be squeezed into the elegant little hull of the Corribee, and the Voyagers were too big and heavy for easy trailing, so Bill Dixon (designer of many large Moodys) was commissioned to design two trailer-sailers for the company. The results were the smaller Navigator, and the larger Venturer 22.

These had modern high-volume hulls, with the visual effect of high topsides and substantial cabin tops disguised by styling stripes of paintwork. The end result is to pack a lot of accommodation into a small trailable hull. These boats were built to take outboards in wells in the cockpit, although a few have been modified to fit a small diesel.

Fin keels were offered as an option, but the vast majority of Navigators and Venturers built were the bilge keel versions. This yacht is an outboard-powered bilge-keeled Venturer 22 from 1988.

The saloon has a vee-double berth forward, raised so that the narrow end of the saloon settees can extend under it, providing a total of four berths. Aft there is a small galley to port, with a removable stowage box/worktop forward of the cooker.

The heads compartment is to starboard, with a zipped canvas "door". The heads is a Porta Potti chemical toilet.

A fold-down chart table is mounted on the bulkhead forming the forward side of the heads compartment. There is a Seafarer echo sounder, plus a Silva DSC-type VHF radio and a Garmin 178C colour chartplotter/fishfinder/sounder with chart cartridge for the southwest of England and the Bristol Channel.

She is currently ashore in Cornwall, and is collecting lots of leaves and green algae on deck from her location, plus a very wet windy summer. The hull and deck condition, however are good, and will clean up nicely. The trailer was built for the present owner two years ago, by Tyrone Snell Trailers, and has never been immersed in water - the boat always having been craned into the water.
The 8 hp Honda 4-stroke outboard had a major rebuild two years ago, and is mounted in a well in the port side of the cockpit, with remote controls for throttle and gears.
