The Ranger 37, also called the Ranger 1 Ton, is an American sailboat, designed by Gary Mull as an International Offshore Rule one-ton racer and first built in 1972.[1][2][3][4][5]

The boat was built by Ranger Yachts in the United States and 100 examples were completed, starting in 1972. It is now out of production.[1][5][6]

Design

[edit | edit source]

The Ranger 37 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted rudder mounted on a skeg and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,200 lb (6,895 kg) and carries 7,300 lb (3,311 kg) of ballast.[1][2][5]

The boat has a draft of 6.0 ft (1.8 m) with the standard keel.[1][5]

The standard rig boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 120 with a high of 120 and low of 120. It has a hull speed of 7.13 kn (13.20 km/h).[2] There was the option of a taller rig that results in a PHRF racing average handicap of 123 with a high of 129 and low of 120.[1][5][7]
