   Thanks so much Wolle, posted.
   
   With tugboats and work vessels we are starting to have a good case history.
   
   Certainly Italcantieri engineers will not come to see here for information on how to build the propellers and how to size them, ahahahahah.
   But a novice who doesn't know which propeller to put in, and who is making a model the same or similar to yours, might have good information.
   He could put a 4.8 propeller or a little smaller or a little bigger without problems, but he would certainly have a starting point.
   
   This was the meaning and practical usefulness of the document but not everyone understood it.
   
   However, the novice could draw many ideas from your splendid model and take it as an example not only on propellers.

   Hi Wolle, excellent model and sails very well, I would like to include it as an example in my propeller list.
   If you want (when you have time you would tell me:
   Length and weight of the model.
   Propeller diameter.
   
   How should an ocean tug or bulk cargo vessel be classified?

    Ich Danke euch für euer Feedback.
    Ja, sie sah sehr schlimm aus. Im Rumpf war ein Loch und mit viel Prielwasser und einem Topfschwamm habe ich sie gereinigt. Da ich den Charme eines alten Schiffes nicht verlieren wollte, z.B. durch eine neue Lackierung, bin ich zu dem Entschluss gekommen, die OCEANIC nur zu reinigen und dann auf alt zu Trimmen.

    At first you would almost think of a movie prop….. after your dust off, she looks like a nicely weathered working girl with a scrape or two. Very nice find

    Willkommen an Bord Wolfgang.
    Your flea market find looked like a scene from "Attack of the Killer Giant Daddy Long Legs!"😮
    Nice restoration to a hard working ship👍
    Cheers, Doug 😎
