Design

The Ranger 29 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder mounted on a skeg and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,700 lb (3,039 kg) and carries 3,130 lb (1,420 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine of 30 hp (22 kW).[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 195 and low of 180. It has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h).[2]

gollark: Hmm, esoteric, yes?
gollark: RPNCalc *3*?
gollark: Until late last year virtual files weren't even shown in `list`.
gollark: Which means that some stuff doesn't interact with it properly.
gollark: Basically, it works out path mappings using some ugly string manipulation which *mostly* works, and the virtual files component is hacked on to a few functions.
