Some details of Thor. - by Dean Ratcliffe.

Thor is a freelance design of a multicat vessel. These rather unusual ships are real workhorses, designed as a work platform, often with a hiab crane. The square hull gives a large flat deck, with plenty of open space for a work area or for deck cargo. The design also enables the vessel to be used as a tugboat, either pushing or towing and are often equipped with large deck winches and strong points for this purpose. A true Swiss army knife of the sea, able to adapt to most roles, some even have additional internal fuel tanks for refuelling other vessels.

Tug: Brooklyn tub test!

You can barely see it!

But, there's actually steam coming out of the Smoke Stack!

Simulated of course! LOL!

This will be last Sequin Tug run for 2020 weather great for Nov.6th it was 19 C today & will be nice weather for the next few days Then the cool weather will be back again . You can see that most of the real boats are now out of the water & are now in storage for the winter because Hamilton Harbor usually freezes over .

RC Sailing hopes to illustrate a selection of RC Models filmed from various locations.
RC Sailing No 107 includes a broad range of Buxton Model Boat Club members boats that include Yachts , Tugs , Rowing boat , Submarine and other power boats.

R/C model of the Duna tug at Spencer's pool this was a static model converted to R/C & runs pretty well too.

Just a little Hamilton Bay run of my scratch built R/C North Rock tug replica .The real tug was built in 1956 for the Alexandra Towing Co. Liverpool I took a little liberty in the color found out that the cabin was white & my ability to record with my I Phone & steer model ain't to good but it's a sturdy hull .

I found a plastic model of Captain Haddock and used him as Skipper, then decided to make a clay model of Tintin to join him as crew on my pusher Tug..
- then a friend suggested making a model of Snowy to join the crew. Here’s how I made him!

My friend is traveling in B.C., Canada, and took a photo of this Russel Brothers tug, though he did not do it especially for me, just posted it on his FB page. I asked if he had any other views but By the time he got my question he was farther on his journey. Still, this would make a nice project build.
