Built by Ranger Yachts in the USA and designed by Gary Mull, a world-renowned IOR naval architect, the Ranger 32 established itself immediately upon its launch. Originating from the Swampfire prototype, this design is celebrated for its exceptional balance, upwind speed, and seaworthy behavior—qualities that continue to make it a sought-after boat for both racing and fast cruising today.
This RANGER 32 embodies this legacy: a lively, well-maintained boat that is actively sailed and performs exceptionally well—unlike many boats of this generation. Recent racing results include:
