I thought the N-26 would help to carry Nordic Tugs through this recession. This is a sad day for American Boat Builders

Does anyone remember what the Nordic Tug 26 sold for back in the first run before they stopped building them in 1995?

I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t share in the true sense of loss the marine industry feels regarding Jim Cress. I was lucky enough to have him host me for my first Nordic Tugs full-on boat test last April in Anacortes. We took the 37 out and he really put that boat through her paces. I was asking him about the articulated rudder some dealers and customers were installing to improve low-speed maneuverability, and he politely scoffed and proceeded to demonstrate what an accomplished helmsman could do by using short bursts of power and the prop-walk effect. Even when he disagreed with someone he was polite and gentlemanly, at least in my experience and I learned an awful lot that one day last Spring. Thanks for your comment.

Bravo

Nordic Tugs are doing the boating world a favor by bringing back the 26.

I suggested that to Jim Cress two years ago
(when he left his new 52 at my dock here in
the Coronado Cays for a few months, to wait
out hte hurricane season before proceeding on
to Florida)

Jim Cress…may he rest in Peace. A great man, a good friend, and I miss him a lot.
