Redwing 34 Tug by Chesapeake Marine Design

Redwing 34 Tug originated as a custom design, or more specifically a redesign of the Redwing 34 with a traditional tugboat style. The client wanted an economical and easy to build hull with a separate pilothouse. The hull form is proven to be efficient to power with an inboard diesel consuming one gallon per hour at 7 or so knots. That’s real efficiency under power for a boat of this size. Fuel capacity of 120 gallons provides a cruising range of over 500 miles.

Estimated cost for quality construction materials (not including power) is $4 to $6 per pound. This cost includes a high level of outfit and finish you can be proud of after putting the effort into building this fine boat.
