About this vessel
Ranger 32 – Legendary IOR ¾ Tonner, Ready to Sail
A stunning 1974 Ranger 32, designed by Gary Mull, winner of the 1974 Miami ¾ Ton Cup. An iconic yacht from the golden age of IOR racing: fast, well-balanced, highly seaworthy, and offering excellent performance in all points of sail. Its high ballast ratio ensures stability, power, and safety at sea. A character boat, competitive in racing and exceptionally comfortable for cruising.
Built by Ranger Yachts in the USA and designed by Gary Mull, a world-renowned IOR naval architect, the Ranger 32 established itself immediately upon its launch. Originating from the Swampfire prototype, this design is celebrated for its exceptional balance, upwind speed, and seaworthy behavior—qualities that continue to make it a sought-after boat for both racing and fast cruising today.
This Ranger 32 embodies this legacy: a lively, well-maintained boat that is actively sailed and performs exceptionally well—unlike many boats of this generation. Recent racing results include 1st out of 6 in Solitaire du Bassin 2024; 2nd out of 5 in Coupe Duo Bru No. 1 2025; 2nd out of 6 in Coupe Duo Bru No. 2 2025; 3rd out of 6 in Championnat Bananes 2025; and 13th out of 59 in the 18 Hours of Arcachon 2025.
