Beamy semi-displacement tug with full-length keel; shares its designer with the Nordic 32 and 37 tugs (distinguished by a reverse-raked windshield). Single-stateroom layout. Bow thruster standard. Single 330 hp Cummins cruises 12-14 knots; range over 1,000 nm at 8 knots. American Tug production is small (under 10 boats a year across models per owners) and the owners' forum is private, so public problem reports are scarce.
