Project: Nordic Tugs 26

Last produced in 1997, the Nordic Tug 26 is back by popular demand! With its nostalgic appeal, rugged construction and notable fuel economy, the “fuel-stingy” Nordic Tug 26 became an immediate success in the marine community at its debut in 1980. The Nordic Tug 26 today is as fuel efficient as its predecessor. With a 110 hp Volvo D-3 diesel engine with electronic controlled high pressure common rail fuel system, take a leisurely cruise and burn a meager 1 gph at 6.0 knots, or for quick weekend getaways, take her up to top speeds of 15 knots. With room to sleep 4, including a forward stateroom with a wet head plus a convertible salon settee, the Nordic Tug 26 is a great choice for couples and small families. The semi-displacement hull provides a smooth ride and can handle challenging waters as only a Nordic Tug can. Its full keel provides precise tracking with resistance to drift or roll. A heavy-duty stainless steel shoe protects the propeller and rudder, while the hard chine adds to ride stability and reduces roll while at anchor. With full visibility from the pilothouse and direct access to the deck on both sides, solo handling is a breeze. The new Nordic Tug 26, featuring the seaworthiness and fuel economy that started it all, it's the rebirth of a classic.
