Attention All Tugnuts in Central Alaska!
I am plotting to start our very own Tugnuts Rendezvous in Southcentral Alaska. Everywhere I go in the state I see more and more RT and Cutwater boats in our harbors. It seems like we have a critical mass to make this happen. Andrew Custis and the factory are on board with a guest appearance planned by the man himself! This will be an opportunity to have your boats checked out and possibly get light warranty work done.
The biggest obstacle is finding a suitable location with no private harbors in Alaska. I have been calling around and not getting much support from any of the harbormasters. However, the Seldovia Chamber of Commerce is keen to host us and can guarantee slips for 20 boats in their harbor. They have all the amenities we need, including an enclosed pavilion right next to the harbor for group events. They also have classroom space if we want to add some seminars. There are several bars and restaurants overlooking the harbor for hosting cocktail hour. It's also really fun to take the dinghy's and explore the Seldovia Slough at high tide.
Obviously, Seldovia would require many of us to trailer our boats to Homer, so I am open to other suggestions. However, the mix of accommodations and the eagerness of the Chamber to help has this at the top of the list. There are also plenty of shore accommodations for those who may want to attend, but not trailer their boats.
This is all very preliminary at this point. The next step is to get a mailing list started of interested owners. If you would like to be added to the list send me an email at the address below. Please include:
Boat name and model?
Number of potential attendees on your boat? Any kids and there ages?
Best weekends for your schedule next summer?
Are you interested in being part of the organizing committee?
Would you be interested in leading a seminar on a boating topic?
Any other ideas or comments that you have?
