RANGER 



Designed by Philip L. Rhodes and started in i960, the 28l^-foot Ranger- 

 class fiber-glass sloop is built in Holland and Scotland and imported by 

 Seafarer Fiber Glass Yachts, Inc. (205 E. 42nd St., New York 17, N.Y.). 

 Rhodes calls her his "answer to the budget-minded family for the ideal 

 cruising boat— and racer as well." He describes her as having "a fiber-glass 

 reinforced plastic hull and deck. Light displacement, heavily ballasted keel 

 hull." Her lines are very attractive, her headroom is s'lo^', and her ac- 

 commodations include two berths in the main cabin, two in the forward 

 cabin, which is closed off by the hanging locker door, a head (which can be 

 fully enclosed), galley, icebox, and other facihties. It is estimated that 

 seventy-five have been built to date. Price is $7650 without sails for the 

 model with an outboard well; $9450 with an inboard 30-h.p. Universal 

 Atomic Four. Used boats are $6000 to $8000.
