The Ranger Tugs Journal

Each year we hold a two-day seminar/workshop for Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats owners called “Points North”. The seminar covers many topics pertinent to cruising Desolation Sound and other “Points North”. This year’s seminar was held at Elliott Bay Brewing in Lake City, WA. There were about 90 customers and 10 factory representatives in attendance.

Our 2nd annual Ranger Tugs & Cutwater Boats cruise to Poets Cove went off without a hitch. We filled the docks of the beautiful Canadian resort with over 40 boats. Our factory cruise to Poets Cove is a perfect opportunity to try out some the skills that you picked up during our Points North Seminar. Specifically, clearing customs!

Here at the factory we’ve always known that our Lead Designer and Head of Engineering, Dave Livingston was a legend but he officially earned the title on June 17th when the Northwest Marine Trade Association announced Dave as the recipient of the their prestigious “Legend” Award. Dave is only the 6th person to receive the award in its 20+ years of existence.

Wow! What an amazing event! We just got back and unpacked from another successful, record-breaking Ranger Tugs & Cutwater Boats Rendezvous. The weather forecast was questionable for the first couple of days but the 250+ people that came despite the forecast were rewarded for their efforts with two absolutely beautiful fall days. Roche Harbor Marina was beautiful, friendly, and fun as always and we have a new class of winners to announce from our annual competitions.

The all new Ranger Tugs R-23 will debut at the following 2016 boat shows:

We are excited to announce the the R-23 will now be debuting at the New England Boat Show in addition to the Vancouver International Boat Show, Seattle International Boat Show, and Miami International Boat Show.

We have secured the dates for our 2016 factory events and cruises. More details on each event (including registration) are available at the tugnuts links below. We will post more information on the Alumni Cruise and the Ranger Tugs & Cutwater Boats Factory Rendezvous soon.
