SAVE THE DATE!
We are happy to announce May 19-21, 2023, Helmsman Trawlers® will be hosting another rendezvous at the Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend, Washington! Join us and fellow Helmsman Trawlers owners (and those with boats on order) for another family-friendly weekend of fun, enlightenment and sociability.
What to Expect
Port Townsend is a historic Victorian seaport with a strong nautical heritage. That heritage is still quite apparent today with the Northwest Maritime Center based there, the nearby Wooden Boat School, and shipyards in town – plus our Port Townsend Helmsman Trawlers© office now located at Boat Haven Marina!
Port Townsend is home to a variety of delicious foods, shops & galleries, a fabulous farmer’s market full of local produce and crafts and a must see Art & History Museum. Port Townsend is also home to Fort Worden Historical State Park, where you can explore the old Victorian fort and walk for miles along the beach.
While we are still in process of developing the overall itinerary for the 2023 Helmsman Trawlers® Rendezvous, you can expect planned group events at the marina combined with free time around town. Including the Port Townsend Rhododendron Parade and Festivities which falls on the same weekend of our 2023 Rendezvous.
The Logistics
Keep an eye on your email for an official invitation and further information about the rendezvous as the date gets closer. There will be a window in March in which you will make your slip reservation directly with Point Hudson Marina using a code specific to the 2023 Helmsman Trawlers© Rendezvous group.
Can’t Make it By Boat?
If you aren’t able to boat to Port Townsend no problem! There are many places to stay that are still within walking distance of the marina. Here are a few:
• The Swan Hotel
• The Bishop Hotel
• Waterstreet Hotel
• Palace Hotel
You can also explore Airbnb options, and learn more about places to stay from the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. If you are flying in, the Dungeness Line runs daily shuttles between Port Townsend and the SeaTac airport.
