Because I am getting old , lifting big tugs out and in has got to be a pain. Soo at at the autumn Thornwick model week we did some experiments with small tug towing. The results were sufficiently encouraging to lead to there being a towing regatta in next springs model week. Rules are simple, tug length plus beam a max of 24 inches. Single screw, single plate rudder up to 1.5 inch area. Model to look like a traditional tug. There are a number of kits out there which qualify, and I hear that Mobile Marine may have a hull coming out that will fit. Or of course you can scratch build. We were towing a 36" Flying Drake with a little Graupner tug. Why not have a play. Any comments or questions welcome. Jim Worner
