    Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

    I've followed these tugs for a few years now. I was disappointed when they dropped the diesel and went to a redesigned planing hull and outboards. But there are good used diesel examples like this one around for a lot less money than the new speedy ones.
    Not all of us want to fly around on the water. One can always buy any model of abundant 25+ ft planing cruisers and fund the Sultan of Brunei's golden faucet and sink fund. I side on the sound of a low chugging diesel, rain falling on the deck, heater blowing and a pot of coffee on the stove heading up the inside passage in November. These little tugs are great.

    My last Boat was a Norwegian, 21 foot, built by Norpower. I must say this Boat you just walked around is a Beautiful Craft. The only thing I would say is that the draft of 2ft would not make it a good Sea Boat in poor weather. Mine was 18inches to 3ft 6 inches and had a keel sloping from fore to aft like an upside down fin. It was excellent in lumpy weather. Apart from that, I love that Boat you have shown us. Boats like that are my favourite.

As I passed the cleat, I would catch the cleat with the line.

    I am attracted to the classic tug look too. But my Great Loop dreams dont include massive fuel bills. I'm not much of a sailer, but I'm a firm believer in using wind, solar, electric and a small diesel combination is the way to go. A motor sailer converted to electric would be the best of all worlds. Something with a shallow draft, swing keel, and top powered speed of 7-8knots. Maybe like the hybrid cars, the electric motor and ICE work together for short periods to overcome some mild rapids on rivers?

      Fuel consumption goes up dramatically with speed. Our diesel engine (in a displacement hull) burns 1 gallon per hour at 7 knots but doubles that amount at 9 knots. Diesel isn't the main cost if you only open the throttle when you need to. Solar power will be very efficient when better batteries become available. Our boat is moored 9 months per year. If you could store that much solar energy, you'd have enough free electric power for the summer holidays ;-)

    Nice little boat. So let me check the numbers. 10-ish knots at 2.6 gph with 99 gallon capacity means 38 hours of drive time covering 380 knots. Cut back to 350 knots for safety and....yeah, it's a great coastal runner, can maybe do the Caribbean if you mind your fuel consumption but she ain't crossing no ocean without adding a fuel can or ten.

    I owned a 2013 R27 Ranger Tug with the D3 Volvo diesel , It was a great boat ! I wish I still had it , but traded it on the new outboard Ranger Tug R27 , which was a mistake .

  • @seikibrian8641
    @seikibrian8641 ปีที่แล้ว

    For any who are wondering, Ranger Tugs no longer makes diesel inboards under 29 feet, but the new outboard-powered 23, 25, and 27 are wonderfully laid-out "trailerable trawlers."

    That would be a really nice Joe boat to go run your field in the morning and check all of the producing oil and gas wells. The ones we used were 27 ft long and 8 ft wide and a deep v bottom. Main power plant was a 270 hp Detroit Diesel V-8 two stroke special marine engine. It had 2 tanks of 100 gallons each Top speed in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico was about 42 knots. It was a pretty shallow draft of about 24 inches fully loaded with fuel and tools. The entire boat was all welded aluminum of 1/4" plate aluminum.
