Danger Ranger has been a former feature in the Seattle club racing scene. Many upgrades and a full sail inventory. The Ranger 29 has a solid reputation as a racer cruiser. Zealous regular engine, electronics and rigging maintenance. New bottom and hull paint 2014 and 2017, haul out in and pressure wash in April showed no wear. Powered by a universal diesel which has never failed to start, recently rebuild Hurth transmission (2019). We’ve owned the Ranger since 2013. Regular maintenance and zincs. A lot of upgrades in 2017 and not sailed extensively in the last two years. We bought a land yacht for this season, or we wouldn’t be selling her. Good light air boat yet the ranger 29 has been known to race Vic/Maui. Very fun boat to sail. New hull paint 2017…bottom in 2017. Moored in Dignan Bay Gabriola Island.

Sails: Roller furling 130 genoa (roller furling with sunbrella edge to protect from weather). good condition. 110 Genoa excellent condition recently recut and not sailed since) Partial batten loose foot main in decent condition, 2 reef point. Fast reefing set up on the boom. Brand new full batten loose foot mainsail which has never been used since it came with the wrong slides. Replace the slides and you are good to go with a brand new mainsail. Asymmetrical spinnaker, gennaker in good condition with a extended bow pole Symmetrical spinnaker in OK condition. Whisker Pole

Rigging: Traveler reseated mid ships for racing and single handing Boomkicker and new vang lines Lazy Jacks Standing ragging inspected 2018 and backstay replaced, all other in good shape Running rigging in serviceable shape, some new halyards. Tons of spare lines New port side life lines

Electronics: Raymarine Depth Sounder and Speedometer (speedometer is finicky) Garmin Waymarine handheld Navigator does a way better job anyway. Autohelm Sailboat Tiller 2000, hard wired into the boat system, fantastic turn on and take a nap VHS marine radio with top mast mounted antenna CD player and speakers Halogen deck light Auto bilge pump 2 new AGM batteries (2018) Shore power charger inverter 30 amp shore power cord (30 feet)

Propane stove 20 gallon fresh water tank and hand pump to bathroom, galley

Engine/Drive train: Universal 20HP (unknown hours, recently replace impeller, tune up, filters.) Hurth transmission (Maybe 10-15 hours since rebuild) Brand new three blade bronze prop New zincs Boat cruises at 5.5 knots under power. .5 gallon per hour . Never failed.

New 8′ Inflatable (Quicksilver , parts still in wrapping)

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Replaced with the RANGER 28 (1976), also by Mull.
