Overview
Ranger, a replica of the "J-Class" yacht which won the Americas Cup in 1937, was a labor of love by the current owner. While chartering Endeavour for a classic regatta, it came to him to build a replica of the “super-J” Ranger. A stellar team contributed to the successful build of 136’ Ranger, finally launched by Danish Yacht in 2004. Naval architects Studio Scanu, Reichel-Pugh, and Fred Elliott worked with the original lines of Starling Burgess and Sparkman and Stephens to create a yacht that not only wins honors in regattas, but cruises in style as a proper luxury yacht. A departure from the original, she carries a central cockpit and doghouse as well as a splendid mahogany interior boasting 4 staterooms aft for owner and guests with 3 ensuite baths - all created by Glade Johnson Design. In addition, the interior is extremely quiet, as acoustical engineer Joe Smullin was in charge of isolating it from the hull, greatly reducing vibration and noise .Whereas the hull is steel, true to the original, the new teak doghouse is carbon fiber underneath and the classic raised panel interior is actually Nida-cored to keep weight down. Countless hours were spent on fitting modern technologies and living concepts into the matrix of a vintage yacht that conformed to the J-Class Association’s rules and regulations.

Accommodations
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 traveler.

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. A cozy cockpit for up to eight with a teak table is just behind the teak clad carbon fiber 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.

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 centerline. 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 centers 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.

Remarks
While Ranger’s beauty and refinement evoke the era of the 30s, the conveniences and technology aboard can only be attributed to our modern age. Built to Lloyds and MCA compliant, Ranger is the epitome of having the best of both worlds, a beautiful, high performance racing yacht and beautiful cruising yacht with all the amenities of a modern luxury yacht. The purchase of Ranger is an opportunity to become a member of the elite J-Class Association, soon to become 7-10 yachts strong. A bonus is the opportunity to also buy Ranger’s mothership Vita, thus acquiring the entire package, in place and ready to go!
