1986 Lord Nelson Victory Tug 37 – Classic Downeast Styling | Proven Long-Range Cruiser
The 1986 Victory Tug 37 (hull #49) is a timeless passagemaker, admired for her traditional tugboat profile, robust construction, and superb attention to detail. Designed by renowned naval architect James Backus and built in Taiwan to a very high standard, she blends authentic workboat character with the warmth and comfort of a true cruising yacht.
Having spent the past several years in dry storage, she will benefit from some cosmetic and recommissioning work to bring her back to her original glory, offering an excellent opportunity for the next owner to restore a truly eye-catching classic.
Her heavy-displacement hull and low center of gravity deliver outstanding directional stability and a notably soft, confidence-inspiring ride in a wide range of sea conditions, making her an ideal platform for extended coastal cruising or passagemaking. The efficient single-engine layout provides excellent range and mechanical simplicity, while the addition of a bow thruster allows for precise handling and stress-free docking.
The Victory Tug 37 is widely respected for her seaworthiness, economical operation, and distinctive Downeast charm—an exceptional choice for cruisers seeking capability, character, and proven design.
