Abby's Lil Tug - In the Water!
Submitted by cac on Thu, 2008-01-17 10:42Some time back we had a link to KB's web page detailing how he was building a Glen-L designed Tubby Tug for his daughter. We are happy to announce that it has been presented to the lucky (and thrilled!) recepient, and initial on-the-water tests performed.
Great looking boat!
Herculette - A 25' cruising tug boat
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2007-05-02 14:25In searching for more about the Greenhorn I (covered in PassageMaker Magazine recently) I began to search for the designer, David D. Beach. There are quite a few of his vintage plans available out there (search at Toad Hall), with the Herculette being a nice example.
The Sandy Point Boat Works people have one page with plan drawings and a nice picture, while The Press at Toad Hall also sells the plans. Their web page includes a more detailed writeup by the designer with more line drawings..
Length overall = 25 feet
Beam = 10 feet
Bare Hull weight @ 1200 lbs
Hull type = displacement
Power = inboard engine @ 40 HP

On Board the World's Most Powerful Tugboat
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2010-02-23 23:59She can go from 13 knots forward to 13 knots in reverse in 15 seconds.
Impressive boat. Don't think it's really the most powerful, but definitely big and modern. Also of interest to me is that Savannah isn't that far from my place here, and you don't hear about it being a major port that often (even though it is).
Rescuing a tug
Submitted by cac on Fri, 2010-01-22 22:25Who hasn't dreamed of taking an old tug and turning it into a yacht? Well, these guys didn't turn it into a yacht, but rather put it back to work as an icebreaker.
After purposefully half-sinking it and trying to avoid fistfights with guards (not to mention the roaches).
Fun read!
