Dumas Victory tug

Sorry Rick, I rarely watch films, but if I get a chance to see that one, I'll try to make an exception and just watch the end.

Hi Nerys will look at that as a way of doing the boat.
Nerys on a boat subject not sure if you have watched Lord of the Rings Return of the King.
The last scenes show Froto Baggins getting on a boat and sailing away. Wondered if the boat were real and what it was built for if real.

If you want to build something like the Dumas Victory, how about building a fishing vessel with a good flaring head, then putting a traditional tug like superstructure on her.

Jay Benford designed tugs like this. Although his plans would be 100 times the cost of a kit, you could find enough information on the Internet to design your own. Do a search for Jay Benford designs or Benford Design Group. It sure looks like one of his. Just a thought

Here's a pic of one. There were many.

Dumas Victory tug

A project I'm looking at is the Dumas Lord Nelson Victory tug. The purchase price is rather high so I am looking for a plan if not of the Dumas boat something close to the look of the tug.
