RC Tug Towing - UK Nationals 2007 at Ellesmere Port Museum.

Steve Clubb & John Hughes display one the best runs you will ever see in model tug towing, add the skill & finesse of Mike Friend and some of the other guys from the Wirral and E-port clubs and you have probably the best 'How-to' video on rc tug towing on YouTube.

how would i build a tanker like this im only 14 so i need some simple ideals u know

@civilwar1263 The Tows can be easy but awkward to handle if too large, much better if you are a member of a club and can depend on some support to handle it at the water. Happy to help if I can so by all means ask anything you like if you want to carry on buddy?

where did u get the tugs and container ship?

[BillyNoon]

@welshrugby1 :While Glasgow does have its own towage these days, the ones in the video were all built by the guys from the Liveroll & Wirral clubs, the Yorkshire guys are pretty slick too. You should attend one of their towing days for some real entertainment.

that is some seriously good helms skill :)

@Xantec :The first thing to be learned at Tug Towing is 'Speed Kills' control your speed and most of the other problems are more easily taken care of.

Do you recall the running gear on the two tugs and the weight and dimensions of each of the three ships? Very nice work!

Nice skills and i like the "Perfect Storm OST"

Cant think of one of these guys who isnt great at this. Merseyside, Ellesmere Port and the Wirrall have some great TT Teams. The Yorkshire guys arent shabby either!!
