1973 Ranger 23

This is one of the classic designs by boat builder Gary Mull. These small but sturdy boats are solid and fun to sail. They have been known to surprise many in a competitive setting. We are selling our beloved Cinnamon Girl after almost 12 years of fun and memories with the hopes of finally stepping up to a larger boat for longer outings. Cinnamon Girl is a very capable and responsive vessel. The boat spent most of its life in clear mountain fresh water lakes in Colorado. She was splashed in the Neuse River, NC in September of 2017.
