The Ranger 37 is a quintessential example of the "One Ton" era of yacht design, a period in the early 1970s when the International Offshore Rule (IOR) governed the shapes of competitive racing vessels. Designed by Gary Mull and introduced by Ranger Yachts around 1973, the 37 was the flagship of the Ranger line. It was conceived as a dualpurpose vessel: a formidable contender on the racecourse that offered enough interior volume and amenity to serve as a legitimate coastal cruiser. The hull is characterized by its significant tumblehome—where the hull narrows at the deck level—and its pinched ends, both of which were design artifacts intended to optimize the boat's rating under IOR formulas.
