Design
The Ranger 33 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10,500 lb (4,763 kg) and carries 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 30 hp (22 kW) gasoline engine, although later during production a Universal diesel engine was also offered as an option. It has a 21 U.S. gallons (79 L; 17 imp gal) fuel tank and a 21 U.S. gallons (79 L; 17 imp gal) fresh water tank.[1]
On earlier models tiller steering was standard with wheel steering optional, but wheel steering later became standard.[1]
The boat has a hull speed of 6.87 kn (12.72 km/h).[2]
