In 1938, an Auckland crane operator launched a yacht that would immediately establish dominance over her racing competitors that would last for more than a quarter-century. The crane operator was Lou Tercel and the yacht was an A-class named Ranger. Ranger was not the first boat Lou Tercel had built in his Ponsonby backyard, but she was the best. During her reign Ranger inspired an era of construction and design experimentation that would lead New Zealand to the pinnacle of success in the yachting world. She is credited with inspiring many of New Zealand?s top sailors from Chris Bouzaid and the late Peter Blake to Chris Dickson and Russell Coutts. Full of many previously unpublished photographs.
