Can the Jeanneau Attalia 32 stand on it's keel with the help of legs so that it will not full over when the tide is out. In other words is the hull strong enough for it to stand on it's keel . The reason for this is where i moor is tidal. Thanks

I learned to solo sail on a Ranger 20. I loved that boat and hate that I let it slip away from me, so when I saw an opportunity to buy a Ranger 24, I pounced on it. It has very similar sailing characteristics of the Ranger 20 lending to it hull shape and running rigging layout. standing rigging is a bit beefier on the Ranger 24 having two sets of inner shrouds to complement the outer shrouds on the mast. I love the spirited sail that this boat is capable of, and even using massive 153 drifter without reefing the main in gusty winds, I felt safe on this boat even when the gunwales were lapping saltwater! Running close-hauled and on her heel, she'll do 7 knots--I've clocked it with the gps, average speed about 4.5-5.1 knots. This boat sails itself in light air, bungee chords on the tiller handle are a must when single handing her in heavy winds. The main winches are mounted on the bridge-deck just forward of the cockpit, making sheet handling from inside the causeway and steering with a tiller extension possible. The boomvang runs along a track on the bridge-deck as well, making handling important lines for tacking right where they can be obviously accessible. I highly recommend a Ranger 24 for sailors of all skill levels. They make a great learning vessel, and are impressive with speed and handling for those who like to lighten their load and race the shit out of their boat! They are safe and practically unsinkable. Provisioned and equipped properly. . . . I would take her ANYWHERE. These boats were built with positive flotation throughout. The Ranger 24 should be considered a valuable and highly sought-after pocket cruiser. They are aesthetically pleasing--sailors at the marina where my boat resides comment on her sleek sporty lines and are shocked to learn that she's a 38-year-old vessel. Raymond Richards used the Haida 26 design (MK1) as a basis for the Ranger 24. The Haida 26 is a noteworthy circumnavigator, and the Ranger 24 mimics all the best aspects of the Haida 26--only slightly smaller. I think this boat is much more fun to sail than my previous boats (one of which was a Catalina 27.) Some boats are Cadillacs. The Ranger 24 is a Corvette!:cool:

Well laid out, easy to singlehand. 5 foot draft, 6foot 3 of headroom. Still has great factory support. Best looking boat in the harbor.

The Ericson 39 is a great boat especially for the money. It is built like a tank and very solid construction throughout. I love the flush deck lines which gives great visability and ease of deck work. Tons of room below for comfortable crusing. The best feature is the huge comfy cockpit where you will always be the 'mother ship' during raft-ups and party-time. The wheel forward gives the crew more room for sheeting lines, and the skipper can see without bodies in front of him. Easy to sail single or short handed, as the sheets all lead toward the wheel. Comfortable sailing motion, fast, and pretty in the harbor - many complements about her pretty lines!

So far so good, sails well and is fast. The quality of the build is obvious compared to a Catalina 22 I used to own. Big, sturdy spars. Excellent layout and sailplan. Very stiff and stable. It takes alot to make it heel. Good looks. Very basic interior is the main negative. Spartan. Quality again and good looking, but not much there, but for a 23 foot boat I guess you can't ask for too much. You can tell they did not sacrifice performance for comfort, and built the cabin they could after designing the boat they wanted to sail. If you want to race or day sail, or if you don't need alot of headroom I think this boat will get you where you need to go. Just not in the same comfort other boats would, but with easy maintenance, and a feeling of security when the wind and waves pick up.

I am a new sailor when I bought the boat. I got a few lesions from the old owner.Thank God I had this boat because most of the time I sailed be myself. It was terrifying the first time I healed over in high wind,but the boat behaved well.The atomic 4 was another story.there were constant problems at all the wrong times.After a lot of money and help from friends it runs great. My next job is to paint and upgrade the sails and hardware.Its a great boat I love it.

Great!....About that centerboard added to the side of fixed keel as you explain; 1- How do you operate the centerboard to go up or down? 2- If always down, are you not afraid it would break off on a grounding?

Hi Pete - I'm really glad that I came across your post. We're talking to the current owner now (through a broker) about Jenta. It's great to know some of her history.
