1973 Kent Ranger Ranger 20

Legendary sailboat originally built 1973 in Kent, WA, fully restored in 2010 and well maintained since then. The Kent Ranger 20 is a popular boat and has a very proud fanbase. Only 600 were built over a span of 13 years. This is #153.

Ideal for inner bay family day sails like the SF Bay area. Its got a roomy cockpit with plenty of space for 4. It features an innovative fixed cuddy (cabin) with inbuilt storage bin seats. Perfect for wary family members to enjoy some wind protection while still being in on the action. Theres a cushioned seating/sleeping area and even a built in picnic table to lift up.

Shes very balanced on the helm, responsive, yet forgiving and I think its a fantastic trainer for sailing beginners. Completely dry in 15 knots nose wind and she can be sailed single handedly.

Hull and top is of outstanding quality, solid fiberglass-reinforced plastic throughout, completely repainted, new cushions plus new rigging - all in 2010. Shes got the original Evinrude 6 2-stroke engine which still works like charm. New bottom paint late 2018 by KKMI.

She comes with a newer main sail #40, original jib, genoa, a-sail (asymmetric spinnaker), anchor, custom covers for all teak details, plus other accessories. Connect a standard car battery and youll have cabin/anchor/runnings lights, speedometer, depth sounder and even a bilge pump.

Showings available from June 10th.

If you live in the North Bay: Shes currently berthed (docked) at a very attractive $250/month in Strawberry (near Tiburon) at Richardson Bay. It’s a fantastic sailing ground with predictable winds and top-notch views on SF, Alcatraz and Golden Gate. Lease transfer is available if you want to keep her at this location.

If you want to haul her away: The Kent Ranger 20 is a mid-size trailer sailer. Its easy to set-up/rig especially because the mast raises aft (from the front towards the back), so shrouds and forestay can be left attached. No trailer is provided but youll find many trailer models which will fit.
