ACCOMMODATIONS

RANGER has accommodations for eight in the aft guest quarters (ten if the Pullman berths are used) in four cabins including a lavishly appointed full width master with tiled bath plus eight crew in three cabins, one cabin port and one starboard that sleeps two, with two full baths, and one cabin forward that sleeps four.

 

On deck the quality of the craftsmanship of RANGER is evident from the moment you step aboard at the transom and see straight teak planks with no joins all the way up to the traveller.

 

A cozy cockpit for up to eight with a teak table is just behind the teak clad carbon fibre deck house featuring starboard and port glove leather seating either side of the companionway leading below accented by a beautiful teak hand rail culminating at a teak and holly sole.

 

Guest accommodations are aft with four cabins and three full heads.  The starboard cabin features a double bed with hidden Pullman in the overhead.

 

The salon features a formal dining table to starboard and leather seating to port.

 

Forward through a water-tight bulkhead, is the galley to port and the crew dinette to starboard.

 

The engine room and machinery spaces are accessed via the galley sole or a water-tight door under the companionway aft under the cockpit.

 

Forward of the forward engine room water-tight bulkhead, is a massive custom built-in freezer and refrigerator.  This area also accommodates galley dry storage and air conditioning

 

Aft, via a water-tight door in the forward engine room bulkhead, is the engine room with electrical panels forward, starboard and port generators in sound shields and the main engine on the centreline.  This area has been ingeniously designed and provides 360° access to all machinery and systems with great headroom for a J boat.

 

Interior Finish Note

It should be noted that Ranger's interior is fully isolated from the hull and no vibration or working of this interior exist under power or with tons and tons of load on deck from winches even when there is 20 tons on the back stays and green water flowing over both her weather and leeward rails.

 

The underlying material for the interior is Nida-core to keep the interior light.  Over this very state-of-the-art foundation, is the finest of old world craftsmanship featuring flawless gloss finish over raised mahogany panels with crotch cut flamed mahogany centres making for a very high quality impressive interior all the more impressive due to the incredible detail of Glade Johnson's design which can only be appreciated by a personal inspection.  The interior was built in Sardinia and shipped to Skagen, Denmark for installation.

COMMENTS

RANGER has sailed from St. Barth's in the Caribbean to Porto Cervo Italy, Newport Rhode Island and to St. Tropez and Antigua.

The priorities for the design of RANGER were, originally, that she would be a family yacht, corporate tool, a charter yacht and a racing yacht - in this order. 

When RANGER was built, there were only three existing J-Boats, which included the rebuilt ENDEAVOUR, SHAMROCK and VELSHEDA.  To one degree or another, all of these yachts were original, if only a very small part of them.  RANGER was long gone so she was started with her hull lines and, under the rules of the J-Class, she was designed as the existing RANGER.  The J-Class, dictated that RANGER be built out of steel and Lloyd's was concerned about the loads created by such a powerful rig.  In light of the fact that RANGER's priority is now racing with corporate guest aboard, often, many of the Lloyd's and MCA designs and specifications led to a heavier RANGER than a "race" version would have been.  This has led to several refits where weight was more centralized or eliminated, with the savings in weight being put in the keel in the form of additional ballast.

In addition, with a better understanding of RANGER and a greater comfort level with the boat, Southern Spars built a new boom with approximately 50% of the weight of the original one.  With the new composite rigging, RANGER now has a full set of much lighter standing rigging with all new spreaders.

The J-Class rules have been continually evolving, and whereas RANGER was built, per their rules at the time, to be sailed manually (i.e., five sets of coffee grinders requiring ten (10) people to man them), the grinders have now been removed and the winches are now run electrically for J-Class racing.  The biggest change in the fluid J-Class rules is that subsequent to rebuilding RANGER in steel, the J-Class now allows aluminum hulls!  The result is considerably lighter boats that can never have the same interior volume with MUCH deeper frames and stringers.

Obviously, RANGER will always be a steel boat built to J-Class rules, at the time of her construction.  No currently completed J-Boat, or under construction, has the volume or the astounding quality of design and finish of RANGER's interior.  RANGER has just proven in Menorca and Palma that she can truly sail to her rating and is both competitive and has, by far, the best interior!
