As I mentioned I have been on tugs with VSP on numerous occasions.
The time that really impressed me was moving away from the dock sideways and then turning around by spinning 180 degrees without moving forward or backward, then transitioning to forward.

Model VSPs are available but at nearly £300 they are a bit pricy.
I have looked at making one but without a 3axis CNC mill this would prove nigh on impossible.

Been on a tug with this type of propulsion a couple of times. The maneuverability and controll is quite surprising.
Most of the harbour tugs in South Africa use this.

My logic was the same as Steve’s, wonder if it was a case of great minds or fools.

Hi Pat, as I posted yesterday, I tried Google after I had answered the question. All I got was a vast amount of useless information. It would have taken a lot of time to sift through to find the answer if it was there and if it was correct. I don’t have the time to do this as I have other things to do. Over the last 30 plus days I have been lucky enough to know the answers, before that I had a few that I guessed and was wrong. A few months back I was lucky to get 40% correct, the questions were not in the scope of my brain

Hi Bob,
If you can find the drawings of the Perkasa, could you make a copy for me. Let me know the cost and I will reimburse you.
It will really help with the re-build of my one

Ed

I decided to use Google to find the answer to today's question, which I have already answered. I got page after page of facts that have no bearing on the possible answers
Total information overload, I don't have the time to use Google to find the answers to QOD.

How I know about the design on a gondola is research I have done in the past.
This is from my archives.
The article is in Italian, which in spite of family ties, I don't speak but the drawing is obvious.

The only reason I know the answer to this is a member of our club works for a company that designs and builds this equipment and he gave a talk at a club meeting on water purification.

My last bike, the end of a long string.
Gave up riding and sold it when I discovered I had heart issues.

Hi Bob,
I had two 1m lengths of 4mm in my “stock” and bought 10 12” lengths recently.
I have never found a need to anneal silver steel, cut the thread in the lathe using a tailstock die holder.
I use brass for my prop end bearings and phosphor bronze or a roller bearing on the motor end.
I normally fit a grease nipple as well.
Regards
Ed

Royal Mail in the UK was sold to a Czech multi millionaire.

Pat with due respect this falls under games so treat it as such. It is there for entertainment and not there as an exam.
Just chill out and enjoy.
Some people do not have your breath of experience and apart from that I have looked and cannot find the rule book for Qotd
So calling people cheats is as bad as when someone slagged you off lighten up.
