Title: Korts?

Kort props for harbour tugs? are they the best and is this what the real Smit tugs have fitted?

Any thoughts.

Hi Stevo, I would not like to put myself forward as an expert, and it would probably depend on which Smit tug you were interested in. However if it is the Nederland or one of its four siblings you might care to have a look at:  http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7866.0 which has a section of photos and copies of the billing drawings showing the fixed Korts and Becker rudder used on these and the full size. Hope this is a little help.
