55 Miniature
Steel Tug
1 s ·11 • x 7'9 • x 3·0·
Dear SBJ;
The State of Washington has just imposed a new tax on all sail Md power boats
whose length exceeds 16 feet overall. There are many runabouts and planing boats under
the limit, but few are suitable for hea;y work. I'd like .i maxrmum-di~pl•r..ement workboat
just under 16 feet that is indestrU<;bble, e<onomical to n m, and has an easy motion. This
boat wou1d be a miniature tug that 1could use for salvaging logs, seu ,ng moorings. taking
small tows, and lo beat the tax.
I was thinking of a deeply veed steel h. 11 with p umb bow. sides, and stem (for ma>0-
mum waterine) with one of these heavy 30-h.p. Ch"'ese diesels for bal~I. A speed of S
knots or so would keep the motion~ in a seaway. A flush sreel de<k wrth bull rads
would allow the boat ro sit on a hook wthout collecting water. The p•othouse should be
ply.vood, to lower the center of mass and to allow a compass to v.<lllc. I'd i ke the pilot-
house to be lilfge enough 10< two friendly people to sit on stools when the weathe< coop-
erates. A smal b!Akhead heater to boil coffef' "'°uld be hancly. The pio:hoU5C' door would
be rn the after eno of the house so !ha: the s\Ce decks could be of reasonable width.
Sounds i ke a toug'> but usefu' ittle workboat to me.
Bi l Wald, Vashon. Washington

Dear SBJ:

any schooner in profile The sides were f lared. but they we1e scows will! S(juored-off bows
a~d dead-flat bottoms They worked in shal'ow, narrow sloughs where they could navi-
gate righl up lo the ecge oi a hayfic·ld to pick up c.irgo.
