I have completed the work on a Ranger 32, hull number 59. There is almost nothing which I have not replaced. She sails like a dream and this spring will be our 5th trip up the inside passage. We plan on making Skagway this year. Her name is Shonto and like I mentioned, almost everything has been replaced, so if anyone wants a tip on re-doing something on the Ranger 32, ask.

Re: Standing rigging.
I used 5/16 with closed barrel turnbuckles, both ends roll-pressed on. When they came back, they were about 1/4" long, so I set a 1/2" plate under the mast at the mast step to compensate.

Ranger 32
Have you replaced the mast step. If so did you use mild steel again? how did you cut and patch the inside fiberglass? Have you rebedded the keel and did you have a big hole in the bilge sump. We lived on our 32 in juneau for a couple years.

Remounting Stanchions
My stanchions need remounting, suspect the core in the deck is rotted. Tips?
My Ranger 30 is in Deep Bay, Vancouver Island & I will be up there from early May (Denman Island) if you care to drop by on your way North sometime.I have completed the work on a Ranger 32, hull number 59.

Ranger 32 fix-up
We do have a teak hand rail on each side of the cabin hatch cover. I have taken it off and replaced it with a new one and re-sealed with lifecaulk.
The 32 which we have is hull # 59. Someone told me only 60 were made, so in that thinking, ours was near the last to be made. This may be the reason the toe-rail is aluminum all the way, fore to aft. This is one part which I did nothing with.How about information on replacing the toe rail. I have developed a leak at the deck/hull seam so Im thinking this is a good time to replace the teak rail with an alum one and reseal the seam.
