Both the hull and the deck is made of plywood.
Some boats have a hull made of Fibreglass.
The boat is equipped with one cabin, 3 berths, a galley, 100 liters (26 US gallons, 21 imperial gallons) fresh water capacity and toilet facility.
The headroom is near average
The Ranger 27 is built with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
CentreBoard
The Ranger 27 is built with a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.60 - 0.70 meter (1.97 - 2.27 ft) dependent on the load.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 30 liters (7 US gallons, 6 imperial gallons).
