Ranger 37 (1 Ton)
Description
The Ranger 37, also known as the Ranger 1 Ton, is a classic American fiberglass racer designed by Gary Mull for the International Offshore Rule (IOR) One Ton class. Built by Ranger Yachts in California from 1972 to 1974 (with approximately 100 units produced), it was optimized for offshore racing with a sleek, low-profile hull, fin keel, and skeg-hung rudder that delivers responsive handling and speed in moderate winds. It's a proven performer—winning races like the 1972 SORC series—but its lightweight construction demands skilled crew in heavy weather
