Hi John, The Tugs dry as a bone, It works on a similar principle to the full size multitug 12. The full size
tugs bollard pull is 25tonne when the tug is gritted that becomes one hundred and fifteen tonnes,
The tug can work 360 degrees around the tow rope, and when towing from the side the tug will not
tun over. ( fingers crossed ) as the model shows. hope this helps.
Regards

John.

Hi all,
I forgot to thank Peter for bringing the 'San George' and all the lads from Ellesmere and the Wirral for a great day and not forgetting Mike and Mark for the fun.

Cheers,

Paul.
