Requesting a 1973 Ranger 26 Owners Manual (Gary Mull design)

[Ranger26Honolulu]

I've owned this boat for one month. Hull # 285. Great condition and I've already been out 5 times. If some generous sailor out there who also has a 1973 model -- wouldn't mind taking the 10 minutes to scan and send me his couple pages of the owner's manual--I'd sure appreciate it.

Someone sent me one from years past, but I suspect this particular year may have some specifics that I'd like to know.

For instance, I'll need to know weights and dimensions on things . . . any websites anyone recommends where I can get this info or tips on Ranger ownership / design blueprints?

I can return the favor by sharing tips on any projects I complete. This boat will do MUCH sailing in big Hawaiian waters over the next year. Every weekend.

thanks, Jon

i have the factory papers to my boat. i don't know if it is the same design to mine.
it is pretty basic. no frills. i have to go to the boat and retrieve it in order to send it to you.

Hello,

Thanks R. Mouton, but a fella named George responded very quickly with a scanned copy of the owners manual--about 7 or 8 pages of very basic info. It did include a final page of dimensions which was really what I needed. Unless your info is something more, I believe I'm covered--but please do send if it is more comprehensive. I'm guessing that is all Ranger offered info. wise in the early 70s.

Thanks to you both for you time. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future for you. By reading both of your posts it appears you have very well maintained boats and an increasing body of knowledge on how to care for them.

Aloha,
Jon W.
