Hi Cougar429.
The model is a kit made by Caldercraft (UK). It is somewhat challenging because the plans are not really to scale and you can forget about the instructions. The model consists of more of 1,400 parts and a number of the white metal parts are not of very good quality. If you like the challenge it is something to look forward too.

Regards
Wilhelm

Re: Tug "IMARA"
My IMARA is done, the next step is the maiden voyage. I did finish the rigging and took a few more pictures. I hope you like them.

Thanks Skidoo55.
I am lucky, because I do have a nice pond right behind my house.

Re: Tug "IMARA"
Finally, today was the maiden voyage of my IMARA. The two motors, in conjunction with the mixer, doing an excellent job with adequate speed and tight turns. Controlling the throttle and the rudder channel at the same time allows me to turn the boat on a dime. I am pretty happy with today’s run.
I took a few pictures and I hope you enjoy them.
