You do not have to go over 25 knots all the time even if you can. She nicely cruises around 8 knots. |
Left turn at about 15 knots. |
She just started making left turn after 28 knots straight run. You can see how effective the spray-rails at the chine are. Spray-rails were fitted after the launch. |
Turning at about18 knots. It is quite exciting to feel the back of the boat slide sideway hard like a jet craft (PWC). |

She is not a traditional working tug boat at all. She can run hard at 29 knots in the choppy sea. When she hits bigger waves, you may feel a good shock and hear a big noise inside the pilot house. No worries, the boat is well built and sturdy. |

Running through the swell at 29 knots. It is hard driving of course, but you will reach in an ecstasy of delight. |
