The Rhodes Ranger 29 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Philip Rhodes as a cruiser and first built in 1960. The boat is Rhodes' design #437.[1] [2] [3]
The Rhodes Ranger 29 can be confused with the 1971 Gary Mull-designed Ranger 29.[1] [3] [4] [5] [6]
A version built in the United Kingdom was marketed as the Santender 28.[1] [3]
The design was built by de Visser Shipyard in the Netherlands, starting in 1960, but it is now out of production. Seafarer Yachts imported the design into the United States.[1] [3] [7] [8]
The Rhodes Ranger 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel, with a cutaway forefoot. It displaces 79650NaN0 and carries 19000NaN0 of iron ballast, or, optionally, 27500NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 3.82feet with the standard keel.[1] [3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor mounted in the lazarette well, or, optionally, an inboard motor mounted over the keel, for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]
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 of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a stove to port and a sink to starboard. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side, opposite a hanging locker.[1] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.99kn.[3]
