Ranger 22

The Ranger 22 is an American trailerable sailboat designed by Gary Mull as an International Offshore Rule Mini Ton class racer and first built in 1977.

The Ranger 22 design was developed into the US Yachts US 22 in 1979.

The boat was built by Jensen Marine/Ranger Yachts in the United States, starting in 1979 and was also produced in Brazil by Mariner Construções Náuticas Ltd. The design is now out of production.

The Ranger 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,183 lb (990 kg) and carries 900 lb (408 kg) of ballast.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove to port and a sink to starboard. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm).

The Ranger 22 has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 with a high of 238 and low of 221. It has a hull speed of 5.62 kn (10.41 km/h).

Mull said of the Ranger 22 design, "the basic parameter was fun. When we had a decision to make in the design office, we always asked, 'Is it going to contribute to making it more fun?'"
