Ranger 29 Gary Mull design

Mate had a Ranger 30 and liked it a lot. Then he downsized..

Mogy, if you are contemplating US built boats, do have a serious look at a Pearson 30 from the 1970s.
They sail like witches, are solid throughout though a bit ''inner lining and ply attachments'' inside. Dead simple strong masthead rig, good diesel and manners.

And I have raced agin them and met guys who have taken them offshore in a heartbeat.

Really a lot of good boat for very few dollars. Believe me, I have raced hard-as-I-could against them in light airs and windy wavy stuff, they are very good boats !

Owners association and racing association if you google around a bit.

Regards, Tim

My brother brought one in Gib back in the late 70's. Had sailed over from USA after which the owner died. Good seaworthy boat but had a petrol inboard which was replaced a few years later. brought it back to UK in 81 via the midi canal.
