Design

The Ranger 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,183 lb (990 kg) and carries 900 lb (408 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The Ranger 22 has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 with a high of 238 and low of 221. It has a hull speed of 5.62 kn (10.41 km/h).[2]

Mull said of the Ranger 22 design, "the basic parameter was fun. When we had a decision to make in the design office, we always asked, 'Is it going to contribute to making it more fun?'"[5]

gollark: Obviously.
gollark: Energy storage means you lose a significant bit of your energy to various losses, and generally need large expensive setups of various kinds, some of which degrade over time (e.g. lithium batteries) and some of which are very cool (e.g. superconductive magnetic energy storage).
gollark: Not randomly overvolting stuff seems to pretty much be a solved problem now.
gollark: What does that have to do with anything?
gollark: yes.
