The Ranger 29 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1971.[1][2][3][4][5]

The boat can be confused with the Philip Rhodes' 1960 Rhodes Ranger 29 design.[6][7][8]

Production

[edit | edit source]

The boat was built by Ranger Yachts in the United States from 1971 to 1975 and is now out of production.[1][5]

The design was replaced in production by the Mull-designed Ranger 28.[1][5]

The Ranger 29 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder mounted on a skeg and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,700 lb (3,039 kg) and carries 3,130 lb (1,420 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the standard keel.[1][2][5]

The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine of 30 hp (22 kW).[1][5]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 195 and low of 180. It has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h).[2][5]
