History
It is a faithful replica of the tugboats of the 70s and 80s.
It was an offshore tug, not a harbor tug, so it was prepared to withstand the most adverse weather conditions.
Its entire structure was designed to be stable in the water and very maneuverable, in order to be able to tow large vessels such as oil tankers or cruise ships in open waters.
Tugboats, in general, were born in the 19th century, navigation underwent a great revolution, the main factor being the introduction of mechanical propulsion.
As a consequence, ships gradually increased in size and displacement, losing in the process ease of maneuvering in docks and ports.
