Now you have insulted me, I will have you know that all the cooks on SUN TUGS could cook eggs as well!!
For the insult clean the brass work three times a day until further notice. Trust me the SUN X1 had brass everywhere!!!!!!! ;)

Lovely model, always had a soft spot for those tugs, always smart and clean to look at. Perhaps also it helps as my father worked for some years on them, then they mereged with Watkins and well they went into the history books.

I found this old photo on the web of the old girl. Beautiful model, remember my father saying that the old 16 could pull its weight no problem.
