The Ranger 28, a product of the late 1970s collaboration between naval architect Gary Mull and Jensen Marine, stands as a hallmark of the performancecruising era. Launched in 1977 under the Bangor Punta umbrella, this model was designed to bridge the gap between the agile Ranger 26 and the formidable Ranger 33. Unlike many of its contemporaries that sacrificed aesthetics for interior volume, the Ranger 28 maintained the sleek, aggressive lines characteristic of Mull’s racing pedigree while offering a beamier, more comfortable platform than the older Ranger 29. The vessel represents a transitional period in American boat building where fiberglass construction techniques were maturing, allowing for a lighter displacement and more efficient hull forms that could perform competitively in PHRF racing while remaining manageable for a cruising couple.
