Does that towing ring mean she can tow from any angle? Also, is she twin screwed or voith?
Nice little boat

Twin screw and the towing ring is a lot safer for the tug than a fixed point Kevin. It does mean they can go from towing forwards to backing down and into reverse without having to try and turn the boat

I get you now Davie, I was thinking more about her towing from broadside but there won't be much thrust like that with the twin screw. That ring is a good idea, even just for speed to slow something up in a hurry

Visit www.novatug.nl to see how the system works. Keep the doors shut and the vents plugged!!

The original design had the track a true circle, this one is oval, possibly a way to overcome the patent.

they say the best way to slow a boat down is to put the tug broadside instead of towing against it,thats what it has on the novatug website
