    This newly designed, museum-quality, scale replica Ranger sailboat is offered exclusively by Handcrafted Model Ships. Accurate in almost every detail to the original Ranger sail boat, this Ranger sailboat offers features not available by other sellers, and has many upgrades over all other sailboat models available.
     
    This is a pre assembled model. Models are shipped with the sails unassembled. All rigging, lines, and stays have brass hooks attached. They easily hook into eyelets on mast, boom, sprit, or deck. Pictured instructions with numbers on the hooks allow anyone to easily assemble this sailboat model in less than 4 minutes. This allows us to offer the model at a reasonable price. If assembled, the shipping cost alone would increase the cost by an additional $100
     
    -  Additional and higher-quality deck details
    -  Authentic cloth American flag  
    -  Additional deck planks have been added and stained to match the actual Ranger sailboat
    -  Additional and higher-quality solid brass metal railings and cleats have been added
    -  Highest quality, accurately scaled solid metal ship wheel
    -  Accurately detailed structures on the deck including windows
    -  A scale tied-down lifeboat on the stern of the deck, to mimic the actual Ranger America's Cup sailboat
    -  The hull is meticulously painted the actual colors of the original Ranger America's Cup sailboat.  Look closely on the hull and you can see the individual planks and wood grain
    -  Highest-quality sails and additional rigging over all other models:  
     
    The sails are slightly starched to hold their shape and a higher quality and higher thread-count material is used, similar to that of the actual Ranger sailboat at the time it sailed.  We offer three unique sail materials that are matched to the different eras of model yachts we offer.  Also, additional rigging lines have been added to be more true to the actual Ranger sail boat.
     
    Our Ranger model sailboat is built with rare, high quality woods. Hand painted the actual colors of the Ranger America's Cup sailboat. Ranger America's Cup sailboat model has fabric sails with detailed stitching.
     
    To build this model ship, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings, copies of original plans and photos of the actual Columbia yacht. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions or call with questions.

The J-class yacht Ranger won the 1937 America's Cup, defeating 4-0 the Endeavour II of Britain, raced at Newport, Rhode Island. It would be the last time huge J-class yachts would race in the America's Cup.

 
Construction
 
Harold Stirling Vanderbilt funded construction of the Ranger, and it launched on May 11, 1937. It was designed by Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens, and constructed by Bath Iron Works. Stephens would credit Burgess with actually designing the Ranger, but the radical departure from conventional J-class design was more likely attributable to Stephens himself. Geerd Hendel, Burgess's chief draftsman also had a hand in drawing many of the plans.
 
Ranger was constructed according to the Universal Rule which determined how large various dimensions of racing yachts, such as sail area and length, could be. Often referred to as the super J, the Ranger received a rating of 76, the maximum allowed while still fitting within Universal Rule constraints.
