This Gary Mull design was built between 1975 and about 1978 by Ranger Yachts of Costa Mesa, CA (later Jensen Marine, Fall River, MA.) They are said to win more than their share in PHRF even today. The specs we have say she displaces 5100# and draws 4'6". The cabin is roomy for a 28' boat.This boat was actively sailed until about four years ago and has since been stored at the boat yard, with little attention since.There is a 2007 professional survey that is available for inspection.HIN:    RAY280200475
