Ranger, the greatest of the J-Class sloops, was launched at the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Maine in 1937. She was build of steel for the New York Yacht Club’s 16th defense of the America’s Cup to race against Thomas Sopwith’s Endeavor. Syndicate head and skipper Harold S. Vanderbilt advised teaming the noted Starling Burgess and young Olin Stevens for the design of their defender. Wisely, his advice was taken and the result was dramatic: Ranger would prove to be unbeatable in her trials and in all her races against Endeavor. 1937 would be the last time these extraordinary sloops competed for the America’s Cup.
