Murray Wright Rampage Sailboat

Murray Wright of Dundee, NY designed and built his first “K” model sailboat in the early 1930s. Over the next 40 years he built a total of 323 of these sloop-rigged sailboats along with several variations of the basic K. One of these was the Rampage, an 18 ft (17’-6” LOA) version of the popular K.

Like the K, the Rampage is a round bottom sailboat built from western red cedar strips clench nailed to steam-bent white oak ribs, and trimmed out with mahogany (rails, seats, transom, rudder and center-board trunk). Wright built relatively few Rampages.
