In May 2014 Bäden sank upon launch in Anacortes, Washington, exacerbating a spate of bad luck for CEO and general manager Andy McDonald, who had just returned to work after an extended illness.

Our trip aboard a new Ranger Tugs 31 from Anacortes to Bremerton in the Pacific Northwest demonstrates why the company and their products are a force to be reckoned with.

So what constitutes a trawler and why would there be a festival to celebrate whatever the heck a trawler is? I have a concept in my head of what I think a trawler is, but it’s only a concept.

Chicken soup may be good for the soul. But a proper boat, weather of travel-brochure quality, and congenial cruising friends do more to keep me

This aluminum vessel’s throwback design belies its modern systems, all installed for a Great Loop cruise.

The three-stateroom, semidisplacement model has a range of power options and a low air draft.
