FLOTSAM & JETSAM

- BY PIM VAN HEMMEN

SHE’S FAST, SHE’S BEAUTIFUL AND SHE’S FOR SALE

Built in 2003, Ranger was the first modern J-Class sailing yacht. She won the 2010 St. Barths Bucket Regatta, the 2011 J Class Associatio­n Regatta and took first place in the 2015 IRC A Division at Les Voiles de St. Tropez Regatta.

Like the original Ranger, the 1937 America’s Cup defender, she is built of steel, but unlike her predecesso­r, takes advantage of modern materials, including composite EC6 rigging and a carbon boom.

With her classic looks — large overhangs, a flush deck with doghouse, and a traditiona­l interior with mahogany and raised paneling — she is sure to turn heads in every harbor. She sleeps 10 in four staterooms and is for sale at a reduced prize of $5.9 million. northropan­djohnson.com
