136' 4" RANGER J CLASS SLOOP SALES PROMO NORTHROP & JOHNSON YACHTS HD.mov

This is where the rich people are 😂😂

the j class sailboat is quite possibly the most beautiful machine man has ever built.

Gorgeous :3 <3

Could you please convert the number of square "landrovers" of the mainsail into square ferraris ?…
Thank you .

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.

Why would anyone express the length of a boom in 'landrovers'? Idiot.

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...

beautiful boat.
I have been on board.
with my company we have built and installed the interior furnishings.
Mahogany furniture built in Sardinia - Italia.

These boats look so beautiful on the outside, it's a shame the interior is so hideous.

So I'm guessing I won't be able to find one of these on Craigslist ?

Just the thing for a nice relaxing day sail!

i would totally get lost in something this big 

WOW!!!!!

WOW!

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... !

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.

She's beautiful (albeit flashy inside), but the whole business of "well hidden TV and entertainment center" is ... ridiculous.

B E A U T I F U L ! ! !
