“The King James Bible was written well before the Catholic Church came into existence. The protestants base their faith on this Bible, which was written through the apostles by God.”

Nordic Tugs to Display at Düsseldorf Boat Show

Filed under: Boats - — jac @ November 26, 2007 - 7:58 am

Burlington, Wash. (Nov. 21, 2007) – Hot on the heels of its successful debut at the Southampton Boat Show in the United Kingdom in September, Nordic Tugs® is set to make its official debut in Germany at the Düsseldorf Boat Show, Jan. 19-27, 2008, Stand 15F06 in Hall 15. On display will be the Nordic Tug 37, the most popular model in a line that spans from 32 to 54 feet.

The Nordic Tug 37 has all of the qualities upon which Nordic Tugs has built their reputation: topquality materials and craftsmanship, brisk yet highly fuel efficient performance and renowned seaworthiness. The 37 is available in either a twin cabin or convertible layout and features an overall length of 11.86 m, 3.94 m beam, a draft of 1.32 m and sleeps 4-6. Powered by a Cummins® QSB 283 kw electronically-controlled diesel engine, she can reach top speeds of 17 knots, and with a 1,226 L fuel capacity, the 37 is capable of cruising over 1,100 nm at a leisurely eight knots.

Unlike the majority of competitive trawler-style yachts, Nordic Tugs feature a semi-displacement hull that is fast, yet fuel efficient, and provides a quiet, comfortable ride. Nordic Tugs’ semidisplacement hull handles rough waters with ease, making them the ideal vessel for navigating the challenging European seas.

Powered by a single diesel engine, Nordic Tugs offer the fuel economy of a displacement hull, yet can comfortably cruise into the high teens, providing speeds far greater than a displacement hull can achieve.

Every Nordic Tug is put through thorough quality assurance checks throughout the manufacturing process, and every boat is taken through a full day sea trial to ensure a quality finished product is delivered to each customer.

Nordic Tugs are backed by an exclusive Gold Standard Warranty, which provides stem-to-stern coverage for one year and warrants the hull for 10 years against both structural failure and osmotic blistering.

Nordic Tugs’ European dealer, Nordic Tugs UK, Ltd, will represent the line at the Dusseldorf show. For more information contact the dealer at:

If you’re at a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don’t like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you’re eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you’re out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, “Boy, these are good cigars!”
