Very very very very different boats
Actually the Ranger 22 and 23 are quite different from each
other although they were designed by the same designer and
built by the same builder. The Ranger 20 (often called the
Kent Ranger because of where it was built, to distinguish it
from the California or Jensen Rangers) is a native PacNW
product. The company is still in business although they
currently build a trailerable tugboat, not sailboats.

I'd suspect the 20 to be similar or slightly higher. But that's just a
guess--I couldn't find any PHRF ratings for the Ranger 20, Kent or
otherwise.


The ratings listed for the R-20 are 222 and 224, the one(s)
in NC race at 222 which I feel is sandbagging a little. I've
raced at two clubs where these boats sail and they can (if
well handled) almost keep up with a Lightning in moderate
(non-planing) conditions. I have also seen them sail out of
these clubs in 25+ knot winds. Impressive little boats!
