HISTORY

1937 Defender of the America's cup is reborn

Referred to as the 'Super J' since her defence of the America's Cup against Endeavour ll, Ranger has now been launched at the Danish Yacht shipyard in Skagen, Denmark. Current projects in the shipyard include yachts in composite, steel, steel and aluminum, and in the case of Ranger a composite of high tensile and grade A steel.

The Ranger project has been in development since its conception in September 1999 and its team of designers, naval architects and industry specialists has designed a yacht that recreates the look and feel of the existing J class yachts Shamrock, Endeavour and Velsheda.

Ranger has been built to Lloyds Classification, the MCA Code of Practice, for the safety of large commercial yachts, and the J Class Association Rules.

Ranger will be used to cruise in company with the Owner's current yacht, Georgia, and will attend J Class and Classic Yacht Regattas around the World.
