Title: My Craig (Willycallum) tug
Post by: Footski on August 22, 2012, 03:54:09 pm: Some of you will be aware that over the last two or three years, I have been building the Criag tug from scratch. A wooden framed and glassed hull, built from the 'Model Boats' plans. Here are a few photos of the finished boat. A night launch was done. I hope you like her and thanks for looking..
