Hi guys.
A bit of a search for tug boat drawings.
Just wondering if anyone might have some.

check this site.

FreeShipPlans.com - Free Scale Model Ship Plans, Blueprints, Drawings, Tutorials and much more...

some plans more detailed than others. there is a category for tugs. i built the 'klimek'. you can also try to use a paper kit as a template. i am doing it for my current endless build of the gdansk tug 'taurus'. i also found a good vector drawing of the tug on the manufacturer's web site.

Hello, not sure if you are after a specific tugboat or not, but The German Shipping Museum's online library of docs may interest you:

It's a wonderful resource. Hope all's well by you

There are some pretty good scanned plans of the USS YTB-142 US Navy Tug Nokomis at: https://www.hnsa.org/wp-content/uplo.../08/ytb142.pdf

what type of tug are looking for, oceangoing, harbortug or perhaps a anchor handling tug? and from what period?
i could direct you to several websites, but don't want to overload this thread with links that, at the end, might be useless for you

Don't hesitate to place those links here, the more the better

Ok, snap de hint

(ok, I got the hint)

Comtemporary harbortugs:

- One of the best sources is the Damen Group website. Click on the images of the various types and subtypes and open the productsheets, in almost every productsheet there are either 3d views of the boats, or general arrangement plans. Download the pdf's and extract the images using your pdf reader

Don't forget to click on "Deliveries", as in most cases there will be a special booklet for a newly delivered tug, with a general arrangement plan

as a sample, this is the product sheet for a Stan Tug 3511 (length 35 meter, beam 11 meter)

As the previous ships built by MarkJ were New Zealand ships, I can advise to visit the Port Taranaki website. Click on "see full specifications" to view the product sheets with a general arrrangement plan, like this one

The port of Auckland recently recieved a Damen built electro driven RSD 2511 tug, unfortunately no product sheet with a plan for that particular vessel available, but here's the product sheet of the diesel driven version

Various plans for RC tugs available in the Ships and Sailboats section of Aerofred.com

This is a website with a lot of plans for RC models, mostly aircraft, but there's also a Ships and Sailboats section. Most plans are taken from 1950's and 1960's magazines, some were published more recently. The tugboats are pre and post WW2. You'll need to register to download the plans, but no costs and no spam
