About Another shot of the J Class Yacht Ranger - hopefully you aren't getting tired of them yet :) Please visit Ocean Dream Photography to see more images or purchase prints.

Race Week - Newport, Rhode Island
7/22/06 - 2:34 PM

1/640th - f/8 - iso100 - 28mm


The J-class yacht Ranger won the 1937 America's Cup, defeating 4-0 the Endeavour II of Britain, raced at Newport, Rhode Island. It would be the last time huge J-class yachts would race in the America's Cup.

Harold Stirling Vanderbilt funded construction of the Ranger, and it launched on May 11, 1937. It was designed by Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens, and constructed by Bath Iron Works. Stephens would credit Burgess with actually designing the Ranger, but the radical departure from conventional J-class design was more likely attributable to Stephens himself.

Ranger was constructed according to the Universal Rule which determined how large various dimensions of racing yachts, such as sail area and length, could be. Often referred to as the super J, the Ranger received a rating of 76, the maximum allowed while still fitting within Universal Rule constraints.

Overall length: 135 ft
Length at water line: 87 ft
Beam (width): 21 ft
Draft: 15 ft
Displacement: 166 tons

Hey Chris! Congratulations!!!!!!! Love your work. You make it look easy, "like a breeze"! I spent two weeks at my place in Marblehead in august, but was so busy I didn't get to enjoy the ocean much. But with these shots I feel like I'm right there! If you're up that way check out the photo exhibit at the Peabody/Essex museum in Salem on yacht racing in the early 20th century. Cool stuff. Keep it coming! Shannon
