Bourbon Orca
Bourbon Orca is an anchor handling vessel based in Bergen.
The owners and builders wouldn't let me have a set of lines, so, I designed this myself on Delftship from photos available on the web.

The hull is plank on frame, driven by twin 900 size motors off 12v. She has an action twin esc and mixer which enables her to pivot on her own axis without the need to use the bowthruster

    where can I buy this tugboat from
  • tompallisterPetty Officer 1st Class
    It is a "Model Slipway" Kit and is listed on their web site ( www.modelslipway.com ) as Yorkshireman as this was the sister tug. The basic kit costs about A£270 and running gear, bow thrusters, fire monitors and radio gear costs about another A£250. The kit is really for those with modelling experience as it has a few challenges for the inexperienced. Hope this helps

Ayton Cross Built by Terry O'Rourke
Svitzer tug Ayton Cross, built by Terry O'Rourke in 2006/2007. Mostly scratch built, on a Mobile Marine Models GRP hull.

She is powered by two car heater motors, with a Marx luder bow thruster. I have used an Action kit motor mixer, it works well.

These photos were taken at the Chantry club lake, at the Bluewater shopping centre in kent.

    Terry:
    Do you have a hatch to access the rudder linkage?
    How do you keep it sealed to prevent water from sliding in?
    Can you post some pictures?

    Thank you
