Ranger 20 Portland Fleet #4 http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/pdxR20 The Columbia River Ranger 20 Fleet is one of the fastest growing one-design fleets on the river, with over 10 boats hitting the start line during the racing season. The reason why? A supportive and friendly fleet and a timeless, unsinkable shoal-draft design well-suited for racing and cruising on the river. Over five hundred of these indestructible boats were made in Kent, Washington in the ‘70s to early ‘80s, and most of them are still being sailed in the Northwest. For a minimal investment, this is one of the safest boats around, having been aptly nick-named the unsinkable “Molly Brown.” If you are looking for a great sailing group to get involved with, we are inviting you to join us for Cruising, Racing and Socializing in this year’s sailing season. The fleet has several young owners taking advantage of the affordability of these boats.
