Designed by Raymond "Ray" Richards and built by the Ranger Boat Company in Kent, Washington, the Ranger 26 (often called the Kent Ranger 26) is a traditionalist’s cruiser that prioritizes character and sea-kindliness over the flat-out speed of its IOR-era namesake designed by Gary Mull. Produced in a limited run of approximately 70 units starting in the late 1970s, the Richards design is a distinct departure from the racer-cruiser mainstream of the time. It features a heavy-displacement feel, a distinctive "dog-box" cabin profile, and a versatile keel-centerboard configuration that allows it to explore shallow coastal reaches while maintaining stability in the open water of the Pacific Northwest. According to historical research by Small Craft Advisor, the boat was part of a lineage that included the popular Ranger 20 and was inspired by Richards' earlier Haida 26 design.
