Hi everyone,
Thanks for the nice welcome, its very good of you all, its nice to be able to go somewhere that has a nice community
Lots of you have requested picture's of my tugs, here they are!
This is the Cullamix, as i said above, it needs restoring, i'm currently in the process of taking the old "gear" out, as its just not practical for modern day use, unfortunately.
She is 61 years old by the way haha
Here is an image of the stern, you will notice its got a hole in the deck, that was to get to the old engine, as there was no way to get into the engine "compartment", strange i know, but as soon as everything is sorted i'll pop the deck piece back in there. You'll all see pictures of her when she is finished as i know you lot like pictures
Just a quick image of her prop and rudder etc.
here's an image of the old system in her, engine near the top of the stern (which has now been taken out), a small shaft to a set of cogs, the bottom cog is attached to another shaft leading to the prop. i want to take that out as i feel the newer system is much better, really.
--------------------------
Now, moving on, this is my American Harbour Tug, which is in need of some work too, but is in full working order. It just wants a general tidy up really.
I'm "based" at Fleetwood Model Yacht And Powerboat Club, by the way.
