Ranger (yacht)
''Ranger'' was a J-class racing yacht that successfully defended the 1937 America's Cup, defeating the British challenger ''Endeavour II'' 4-0 at Newport, Rhode Island. It was the last time J-class yachts would race for the America's Cup.
==Design==
Harold Stirling Vanderbilt funded construction of ''Ranger'', and she was launched on 11 May 1937. She was designed by Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens, and constructed by Bath Iron Works. Stephens would credit Burgess with actually designing ''Ranger'', but the radical departure from the heavy displacement sailing yachts was attributal to Stephens himself who had first used the design in ''Dorade'', winner of the 1931 Trans-Atlantic Race. Geerd Hendel, Burgess's chief draftsman, also had a hand in drawing many of the plans.
The hull was all steel welded by a shielded arc process with a weight saving aluminum, arc welded, mast counterbalanced with a 110 ton lead keel supported by an arc welded steel keel plate.
''Ranger'' was constructed according to the Universal Rule that constrained the various dimensions of racing yachts, such as sail area and length. Often referred to as the "super J", ''Ranger'' received a rating of 76, the maximum allowed while still adhering to the Universal Rule.
