Project: Paragon 25 Ranger

This project of Paragon 25 Ranger has been announced at the start of 2012, but then delayed to the trouble this Swedish yacht builder part of the Nimbus group has encountered in the middle of the same year.  Now the new Paragon model should be premiered at this moment at the Dusseldorf boat show.  The Ranger is an open version of the standard 25 Paragon presented in early 2012.   The 25 Ranger will still feature the two berth cuddy cabin but will miss the enclosed pilot house.  A huge all around rubber protection rubber fender also makes the Paragon 25 Ranger look like a Rib to the untrained eye.  Power is single Volvo Diesel engine from 225 till 300hp.

The Paragon 31 has good storage and a plan that provides spacious areas with room for the entire family and activities at sea.
