A small regional builder has finished about 30 of these over the last
20 years. He's about to ramp up production.

If you're willing to go 6 knots, you can realize 12 nmpg!

Definitely not for everybody, but it will have some appeal to people
feeling the pinch at the fuel dock.

For my type of boating I would get far more use out of a Trailer-able Tug
like the R21-EC.

Did you know that C-Dory and C-Ranger have teamed up to build a 26-foot
version of that boat with a cabin aft of the pilothouse? Shades of the
earliest Nordic Tugs, if you asked me.
