Aug 14, 2025 We finally gave Andrew a day off. Here’s what he did: A weekend boating adventure: trailered to Humber Bay, a day cruising through the islands, a picnic, a beach visit and then home. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. 🚤 ☀️ 🏝️ Send along your shots (fb and ig work too)…
July 24, 2025 When two sailors get married in Toronto, you can bet the weekend starts with a regatta. Sarah Douglas (Olympian, Pan-Am winner and National Team member) and Lance Fraser (Canada Cup and many more) raced across the harbour with their sailing friends before throwing the ultimate island bash — steel drums, Caribbean bites,…

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!
Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
