The Newports look more "Salty" Have slightly more headroom. The Ventures are a newer design and most are or were raced. With various mast adjustment accessories these Ventures can actually plane , which means go faster than the hull speed . The Newports do not plane and are limited to hull speed . Both boats are good starter boats. All things considered based on looks alone I like the Newport, but then I am as old as Neptune.|||Thank to both of you- like I said I'm new to sailing and I just want to learn as much as I can!

|||since you own a venture 23, you have some knowledge about it. the venture 23 newport is a different sailboat. it is rigged as a cutter, with two head sails (one forward of the other) and several design differences.
here is a web site with a picture of the newport model

your venture 23 is a good sailing sloop and you should have many great adventures on her. as your are finding out there are many sites devoted to venture/macgreggor.
if you haven't already taken the USCG small boat safety course, then i highly recommend that you do.
hope this helps
