Ranger 20 Info

I just bought a Ranger 20 as my first boat. I've little experience sailing, I'm excited to start learning!

The hull has some scratches, but generally looks pretty sound for at least lake sailing, which I hope to do this "winter" (if you can call it that in Texas) so I can get some experience on the water before the busy spring/summer/fall season starts.

I have to say, I'm a little intimidated by the idea of stepping the mast by myself. Does anybody have any info on this boat and its operation?

Re: Ranger 20 Info

Congratulations! You are going to have a lot of fun! Get some friends to join you when you step the mast. Does it have a hinged mast base? If not here is just one site that may help:

Fear not! You'll soon be out there sailing and loving it!
