Ranganui is a production Young 43 built by the designer in 1980. She has the shallow keel option and a shorter rig. This makes her very comfortable at sea. Her previous owners took her around the world in 2000-2004, and we and we (Janet and Spencer) took her to Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu in 2012, and Fiji in 2015.
