This is a little working tug that belongs to a couple on our mooring (they live on another boat) I think it is a real smasher. It was across our side of the creek the other day picking up a barge to go up river. I have a real soft spot for working boats like this, you can keep your gin palaces, this is the sort of thing I like !  SAM_0489 by mudlarker2, on Flickr |

They'd be up in arms on cwdf, he's crusing with his fenders down. Real boaters don't do that, mtb will be after him.

I've always thought this a good looking boat, on the 10 mile bank Great Ouse.  |

I agree little tugs like this, definitely have something about them.  Tim leeches tug kennet which I have seen in person and is a gorgeous little boat. Still for sale I believe if anybody wants to make the dreams reality. |

My favourite tug tiny thing pretty sure it was called Tom Thumb before. I used to see it on the Thames around Sunbury in the early 90s but it went missing in the early noughties. Anyway on our yearly pilgrimage to Oxford (what a hell hole) I spotted it by Salters' old sheds so glad to see its still going. About 18ft or something. I was told it had a 6 pot Thorneycroft (probably Leyland) in it.. Attachments:
