The new Ranger was born from the Owner's enthusiasm for these great yachts. There are new yachts, and older, but none so sleek, fast and with beautiful lines and handling. With a new set of Class Rules allowing for the Replica Rebuild of each of the great J Class yachts lost to history, the Owner declared his interest to build a replica of RANGER, to the original lines plans.

The 140 foot Mari-Cha IV was built to become the fastest monohull in the world. It has already broken 4 world speed records to prove it, and will be attempting many more in the future. In October 2003, Mari-Cha IV created sailing history on its maiden voyage when it sailed from New York to the UK in just over 6 days, shattering the prestigious west to east transatlantic speed record by an amazing 2 days, and firmly establishing its status as the world's fastest yacht.
