2022 Ranger Tugs & Cutwater Boats Factory Rendezvous

As we continue to develop this year's rendezvous schedule, I'll share updates here on tugnuts.com. Right now, I can tell you that the learning center on the lawn will be back. We'll have fantastic speakers booked throughout the event. The cornhole tournament will be as fierce as ever this year. Andrew Custis and John Livingston (reigning champions) are already trying to intimidate potential competitors around the office. Will someone please beat them?!

We'll be launching the new rendezvous smartphone app in the coming months. The app is a very cool way to keep everyone connected during the event. The always popular scavenger hunt will be back this year with a fun new twist. The USCG Aux team will be on-site to provide vessel exams and we will have 2023 Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats on display for you to tour.

We have fun happy hours planned for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday but If you are planning to eat dinner at McMillin's restaurant, please make your reservations here asap: https://www.rocheharbor.com/dining/mcmillins/

Much more to come!
 
Great news - thanks. Will we be able to add attendees once we have registered?

hey there, you can add attendees anytime until the event sells out. In the past, it's taken a couple of months before the event sells out but I can't say exactly how long it will be this year.

thank you.
 
With the new DocWA registration for slips, will they still be offering Wednesday free as in years past?
 
Yes Wednesday will be no cost. We registered on Dockwa and were told they don’t take $ until you arrive and Wednesday is free if you do the 3 other nights.
 
So I understand, if we register to arrive a day early, they will have a spot for us without our having to do anything extra to reserve that spot? Thank you.

I spoke with Troy from Roche and he said that the DockWa registration page will eventually have a field for you to enter arrival date but it doesn't yet. In the meantime, please write your arrival date in the general information box. If you already registered on DockWa but didn't input your arrival date, don't worry about it. I'll send them my list from Eventbrite which contains that information. They can get arrival dates from my list for anyone who didn't have that information on their DockWa reservation.

In short, If you registered to arrive Wednesday on Eventbrite, they will see that.

Just an FYI that we reserved on Dockwa to arrive Thursday and depart Sunday. I did a confirmation email from Roche Harbor and the stated arrival/Depart dates are Wed/Sun… guessing if you reserve for all three nights the fourth (Wed) is included at NC?
 
We're registered for the Rendezvous, and excited to be going again!
I clicked on Sam's "Eventbrite" link, completed the form, and had confirmation very quickly.
Then I clicked on the DOCKWA link and it automatically filled in the dates Sept 7 - 11. I filled in that form, and in no time I was confirmed there too. Overall a very easy and painless process.
Thank you Sam for setting this up!
 
It’s going to be tight if I make it to the rendezvous this year, my boat delivery just got pushed out into August. I hope to see you all there, but that doesn’t give me much time to properly outfit the boat. Guess I will keep my reservation and see if I can make it.

Nwdiver,
You should go regardless! We went back in 2015 and didn’t close on the purchase of Our Journey until the week after Rendezvous was over. Stayed in the hotel at Roche. Learned a lot at the Rendezvous even sans Ranger Tug!
 
And my delivery date has changed to September 27, or possibly later. So if I show up, I will be a landlubber. Enjoy the rendezvous every buddy
 
Ours pushed back as well. Still planning on flying out for rendezvous as landlubbers.
 
I have been on the hotel wait list for several months now. Not sure where people can stay if your a land bound

Roche definitely full. As is Snug. We ended up at a b&b a couple miles away. Took a lot of digging and calling. Availability over near Friday last I saw but pricey.
 
The annual Ranger Tug Rendezvous is nearly upon us!! Officially, it is Sept 8-11 (Thursday - Sunday).

We plan on hosting a couple of happy hours/open houses at our boat in Roche Harbor at the Rendezvous. We talk to a lot of other boaters and are excited to finally be able to meet some of you! If you want to check out the boat, take pictures of any of our upgrades, talk to us about the upgrades, please stop by and feel free to bring your questions.

We are headed to Roche Harbor Tuesday afternoon, Sept 6, and will be on the dock at Roche Harbor from Tuesday afternoon through Sunday. (Sept 6 - 11).

I will be arriving on Wednesday in my new boat, Do It Now -- I take delivery the day before! -- and I have a slip at the marina. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and seeing your solar setup. Your posts here have been tremendously helpful.
 
My wife and I will not be going to the rendezvous as planned. We have cancelled our slip reservations at Roche but understandably cannot cancel our booking with RT. Sam Bissett tells me that if anyone wants to attend in our places he will kindly look after the transfer so if there is a couple out there who would like to attend the rendezvous FREE OF CHARGE please drop me a pm or email Dusko2@yahoo.com and we’ll set the wheels in motion. First come/first served of course.
