The Ranger is a sailing ship of J-class with an overall length of 41.2 m, built in 1937, after drawings by Olin Stephens and Starling Burgess. The Ranger valiantly defended the US trophy in 1937, winning the 16th edition of America' S Cup by crushing the challenger ship Endeavour II by 4 victories to 0. The Ranger was the first sailing ship to have largely profited from technology transfers of the areronautics field, with in particular the use of aluminium for the 47 m mast with an elliptic section, the bridge port-holes in light bakelite, and the sails in synthetic rayon. Thanks to this indisputable technological lead, Ranger was victorious 34 times out of the 37 regattas it ran.
A faithful copy of this sailing ship was recently built and launched (2005), to appear in regattas between these legendary sailing ships.
The model
This model is produced by hand by Vietnamese craftsmen starting from hard exotic wood. The hull is built in broadsides on couples (boards fixed on the reinforcement). The level of detail is excellent, and finishing is superb. This model of boat is not in kit, but is directly ready to be admired.
