where is J Class Ranger?

Does anyone know of what has become of the recreated 1930's J class America's cup defender Champion Ranger. She was recreated by Olin Stephen 2
who recently passed away, launched I believe from A Polish shipyard.
She was the fastest J class ever built.
The original Ranger was scrapped for ww2 and his brother Rod Stephen
created the "Duck" for amphibous 2 1/2 ton Army trucks used in D Day.

In years past I have seen Shamrock 4 and Endeavour at Edgartown.

Just curious if anyone has news or has seen the new Ranger?

In past years Shamrock and Endeavor spent time in Edgartown harbor but most recently they stay outside. The breach at the southern end of the harbor has shifted the bottom to create more shallow spots and the draft for those boats was always tight. I have seen them stirring up the mud while turning south of the yacht club, even before the breach.

Interestingly, the link I posted talks about several other new J Class boats in progress
or already launched. Example Lionheart
