XBOAT ref :6246.I am selling my 1974 RANGER 32, which I dare to describe as "very beautiful", a 3/4 Tonner IOR designed by Gary MULL, winner of the 3/4 Ton Cup in Miami in 1974 and an excellent sailer in all conditions.
This very seaworthy boat, with a high ballast ratio, is in exceptional condition. Fully ready to sail and optimized, this truly beautiful example of a classic sailboat, which performs well in races (OSIRIS/ORC 14) and is very pleasant for cruising, refitted and perfectly maintained, will be replaced by a larger boat, with an enclosed cockpit, aimed at cruising and occasional living aboard in more Northern regions. I am not in a hurry to sell it yet, as its successor has not been identified yet.
