Please start a topic about barges but I am not sure what it is about them that you wish to discuss.

The OP thinks too many modelers build tugboats, and then just bob about the pond.

What work do other tug modelers do with their tugboats?
Or what do other modelers do at the pond or build to make sailing more fun and challenging?

Hello Ralph,
At our Club (Balne Moor) tug towing developed just as Umi describes.

We still have scale steering competitions, but have a lot of tug towing events which provide a greater/different challenge. Below are a couple of photos which show each of the two towed vessels we own. The link at the foot of this post will take you to our we site where you'll find a lot more photos from the 2018 season. On the Events at the Pond page you can find the rules we use for towing - scroll to the foot of that page.

I like the idea of extra challenge as Umi has shown in the dockside photos from her Club :-))

You have a good model maker live. Ship models are rare here. And I do not have a club.
