Real interesting looking through this site

Wow. That is some kinda chunky tug. She really has some power, too. Would like to see her have a go at the Chantry Oiler one on one.

[Footski]

Very stable on the water too.

You can hear one of the guys saying shes doing 8 knots.  She would pull pretty hard i would guess . Gets the mind ticking over as a fun project and a eye opener at the pond.
on that same site there is a section of some more traditional tugs .

I don't think she know the oiler was behind her with that power. my \Kingston Lacy pulls a steady20Lb on the clock. but I think Billy's would double that.

Sort of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it. One needs a challange.

Rubber Duckie  would be the perfect name Lol!!!  It would take the competition out of tug towing days by towing the whole fleet in one match.
