Hello, thanks for your interest!

I checked my thread of her and there I stated that her weight was 2,3kg. It's fun to run in "bad weather" and perhaps you can imagine why there are rust streaks on the superstructure! All the lights are LEDs and the connectors rust a lot, even though they where painted over. In fact, many of my lights are gone due to corrosion and so are the fenders on the side. The stern roller loses a few grams of rust every year. Hopefully I'll have my new tug running before this one's dissapear!
Arrow5, hope you can show those videos. :-))
All the best!
Hama

Not so dramatic but it was fun. The Springer doesnt cut through the waves but tobogans over them. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aQ2CTUFiTUE   Maybe we could have a "heavy weather" theme , pictures video links etc ?
