beautiful boat. I have been on board. with my company we have built and installed the interior furnishings. Mahogany furniture built in Sardinia - Italia.
Squirrelly? I dunno, Clint, he might be playing the gusts and the waves. Most helmsmen I've raced with are doing that, nonstop, instinctively, reflexively, like breathing. Even during a social cruise, and even on big powerful dreadnoughts like Ranger. Eking out every foot to weather as if they're driving a thirteen-foot Laser. Or...maybe the cameraman asked him to look busy.
thanks for this post i have been able to see and work on these fabulous yachts at the Newport shipyard and always walk away in awe and amazement so cool
No, that's definitely Landrover territory. The Landrover is a quantum measurement unit that may assume the number of orthogonal linear dimensions required. The Ferrari is a speed metric. This yacht travels at approximately 0.05 Ferraris.
Why such nasty comments. If you have nothing nice to say then don't comment at all. FYI there's are skilled sailors who race these sailing yachts for pleasures and many causes that your obviously not aware of or care. Comment on other videos not here please!
Just curious what does a yacht like this cost? Love these boats. If I ever won the lottery I'd have to get one and learn all there is to learn about sailing and racing them. Thanks for sharing this wonderful ship. PS, LOVE the interior! Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
So hear we have a high speed sailing boat that has an interior that is like that of the queen mary. Minus the fact that Queen mary has 56 wood species in her interior. Best add this to every growing list of vessels I want to experience.
Can you show us the keeling of the ranger?? Is this the name sake of the lone ranger of Yosemite national Park? She apparently is sailing off keel. The most lateral resistance should be mast and headsails to keel the sails. This would straighten up the boat and increase her speed.
Oh my god, that interior almost doesn't look like you're in a sailboat. I wonder if the old AC boat was just as luxurious inside or if it was a stripped down racing machine.

4:57 I don't get it....how can you have chairs like that in a sailboat that heels, pitches, and rolls? Wouldn't those chairs go sliding all over the place and smash up all the pretty glass cabinets? What is it supposed to be? A boat, or a condo on the riveria? (Sorry, no disrespect meant, just a bit puzzled... :-)
Seems very squirrelly ....a lot of play in wheel. Should be sailing without having to move the wheel... Boat that tracks well you could leave the wheel alone and it wouldn't move....freeboard is lower than original J. In the water because she is to heavy . Capt Nat would fail her on sea trial...
Clint Davis great observation. Made me think twice. He said. Moving very smoothly without moving the wheel. He had constant wheel play...salesman talk I guess
When riding big waves you constantly have to steer to make the boat "surf" in the most optimal way. Volvo Ocean race boats require constants steering for example. If you have a more stable boat it's not as required (as you won't be surfing very well anyway) but then you're not going as fast.
Long keel boats, with the rudder on the trailing edge of the keel, are kinda like that. The first little movement from centerline causes an inverse steering moment -- the boat's stern moves towards the rudder. Then a little more rudder movement starts the boat turning as you would normally expect. Rudders on the aft edge of keels sorta suck.
For sure ! This being said I wonder why you don't already know what the entire world has already acknowledged for a long time : I have the best taste o all !.... 😎😎😎😎😎😎
ChocolateHappyness... the interior on the original and other J boats of the late twenties through 1930s was a stripped out hull... solely racing machines. The modern J boats (primarily reproductions of the original hull lines and sail plan) are mostly aluminum hulls and all have very luxurious interiors. Interestingly, the interiors add considerable mass and the boat set lower in the water so are not as fast as the wetted surface is larger on the hull and they are not sailing to the intended hull shape lines due to the increase in draft. Ranger here is of the modern reconstructions is the only steel hulled one like the originals but that makes it heavier than the aluminum hulled boats like Hanuman which seems this last year or to to be proving fastest on the regatta circuits. However, Ranger due to its increased mass is faster in heavy winds and has the advantage in those conditions... which if you are a sailor is what you sail for... !
I think they can offset that by savings in weight elsewhere. I know that in one of these modern versions of pre war designs they saved 40 tons of weight over the original - just by using modern materials.
***** Yes I think the added weight of the interiors was compensated for by savings elsewhere. 1lb saved at the mast top on these boats would correspond to a far greater saving of weight at deck level
Ranger has gone through many many improvements since it was launched. They have saved a huge amount in these upgrades to the rig... several tons! This has made it more and more competitive. The two new Js about to hit the circuit should really tell the tail. Rainbow was expected to best everybody but has not. I think it is a matter of sorting out, and that is hugely expensive. Hanuman really was on top for awhile but is less so now as Ranger and the others improve. Though I think Jim Clark has lost some interest in Hanuman and its for sale too... as is Rainbow.
the j class sailboat is quite possibly the most beautiful machine man has ever built.
beautiful boat.
I have been on board.

wow! good job guy! mi piacerebbe moltissimo lavorare in questo ambito.

I would take out the “probably “. These are in fact the most beautiful machines human have ever created.
Could you please convert the number of square "landrovers" of the mainsail into square ferraris ?…
Thank you .
lol.....awesome, I need someone like you in my life. that's the best thing I read in a while.
Glad to oblige !…
lol
Ferraris aren't square. Sheesh...
Cubic maybe ?…
No, that's definitely Landrover territory. The Landrover is a quantum measurement unit that may assume the number of orthogonal linear dimensions required. The Ferrari is a speed metric. This yacht travels at approximately 0.05 Ferraris.
Just the thing for a nice relaxing day sail!
Are you putting us on ?…
You think it's funny to sail with these pretentious well shaven clean shirt bragging dudes ?…
I can't afford the custom towels! So beautiful wow.
What a spectacular work of artistic craftsmanship... absolutely beautiful!
It's not just 136'. It's 136' AND 4" ...
when 100 yo design is so good you dont really need to change anything
I better start looking for another marina because it's not going to fit here. Stunning yacht!

Keith Noneya the boat is currently for sale at $5.9 million US
@Michael Jacob Yep I'd have to win the Lottery and be bored to do that at that price. Still looks like fun. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Been on the boat while it was built, the teak deck is nearly 4 inches
So hear we have a high speed sailing boat that has an interior that is like that of the queen mary. Minus the fact that Queen mary has 56 wood species in her interior.

WOW!
This is like the titanic of j classes

A steel ship is possible to rekeel in the academic historical keeling. Pre 1800.
It is a wonder to watch
Its a wonder!

Managed to make a J-class yacht seem cheesy and tasteless. Well done.

Yes they would slide around, but you will find they have a plan for fixing they when under way.
great!!, one dream!!
nicknamed the vacum cleaner, it would suck up all the fluff!
What's the draught?
Im a schooner guy but I have to admit that is very nice and attractive!
Take a check?
I need a yacht with a gym.
This is where the rich people are 😂😂
I wonder how many hundreds of millions it costs

David Smyth , Olin Stevens would agree with you regarding keel hung rudders... Dorade was one of the first to hang it from a skeg
These boats look so beautiful on the outside, it's a shame the interior is so hideous.
Surely you jest!?
yeah, I too hate rich mahogany with a shine so deep you need a life jacket to look at it.
Right !!!…
These newly rich have no sense of what depth, signs of time are about : bling, gilt and slick is all they know…
vincent7520 "newly rich" blabla like not everyone has the same taste.
For sure !
This being said I wonder why you don't already know what the entire world has already acknowledged for a long time : I have the best taste o all !.... 😎😎😎😎😎😎
She's beautiful (albeit flashy inside), but the whole business of "well hidden TV and entertainment center" is ... ridiculous.
Who's the owner Royal, Rothschild, or Rockefeller family.
How many slave laborers do you have to have working under you to afford to keep one of those on the water?
Seventeen was common on the originals, working below deck while the white people in nice clothes enjoyed the sunshine.
If I win Lotta that’s my first purchase
20,000,000!!!! That is insanely expensive!!!
Aaroncroy252016 - But it’s so purdy!
Can I get one on the never never ?
Id love to own to bad this is for super wealthy
so for whom is this yacht ? a master and his slaves ?
I'd be happy to be the slave of the master of this yacht, assuming I couldn't be the master.
Serge Zerkin what a stupid comment..
this is just a rich guys toy.
Antigua ... How about employing some *black* Antiguans as crew?

she is 20 tons heavier than the next boat in her class. and like he said. with a head wind she will blow the doors off of the others.
