1972 Ranger 33

Hull & Deck

Solid fiberglass hull with plywood-cored deck. Classic lines with a graceful sheer, reverse transom, and low cabin trunk that still turn heads. Deck features generous side decks, sturdy stanchions, and a roomy cockpit with tiller steering (wheel conversion possible). Excellent condition with recent bottom paint and upkeep.

Sailing & Performance

Stiff and powerful with a high ballast ratio (~43%). Owners love how she tracks beautifully, points well, and feels responsive on the helm. Reduce sail early to tame weather helm when heeled, and she’ll reward you with fun, dry sailing. Great for single-handing with modern upgrades like roller furling. Hull speed around 6.9 knots.

Interior Layout

Sleeps 5–6 comfortably: V-berth forward, enclosed head, convertible dinette and settees in the salon, and a quarter berth. Galley with sink, stove, and icebox. Ample storage throughout. Warm teak trim and bright, airy feel thanks to multiple ports and hatches. Headroom ~6′ in the main areas. Compact by modern standards but efficient and welcoming for a couple or small family.
