About the Ranger 26 Mull

With limited documentation available, the Ranger 26 Mull represents an intriguing chapter in the Ranger Marine legacy. This sailboat appears to be part of the broader Ranger 26 family, which was known for producing capable coastal cruisers during the brand's active years in American boatbuilding. Based on its association with the Ranger lineage, this vessel likely embodies the practical design philosophy that characterized the manufacturer's approach to recreational sailing. Ranger boats typically emphasized seaworthiness and comfort over pure racing performance, making them appealing choices for weekend coastal adventures and extended cruising within protected waters. The "Mull" designation suggests this may be a variant or evolution within the Ranger 26 series, possibly incorporating design refinements or specific equipment packages. Given the era and Ranger's reputation, expect solid fiberglass construction with a focus on durability rather than cutting-edge materials. While comprehensive specifications remain elusive, boats of this pedigree typically attracted sailors seeking reliable, unpretentious vessels for exploring coastal waters. The Ranger name carried respect among cruising sailors who valued substance over flash, making this boat potentially suitable for those prioritizing proven sailing characteristics and long-term reliability in their vessel selection process.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
15.9
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
22.07
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
1.93
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.25
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
2.03
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 673.79
