Mike Vanderbilt's great J-boat RANGER takes the start ahead of ENDEAVOUR II in the third race of the America's Cup of 1937. RANGER, who's afterguard included the young duo of Rod and Olin Stephens, was unbeatable. Redbook magazine wrote of her, “The wind that fills my riggin'... is a million dollar breeze ... And I only go-a-sailing ... in the most exclusive seas.”

This original painting was first shown at Russ Kramer's one-man show at the Museum of Yachting in August and then at the 2006 Mystic International exhibition in September at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport - where it sold into private collection on opening night.
