The Ranger 23 is an American trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull as an International Offshore Rule quarter-ton racer.
It has a masthead sloop rig, with a 4:1 mainsheet, 2:1 outhaul, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.
[1][2] The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
It has to have good balance, and it has to have an airy, bright, pleasant interior so you don't feel like you are going to jail when you go down below.
The Ranger 23 appears to fit that description, Best and worst features: We think designer Mull summed it all up adequately.
