Osprey – Nordic Tug 37 Vessel Overview
OSPREY
is a classic Nordic Tug 37, built
locally in Anacortes and designed by Lynn
Senour specifically to handle the unique
demands of Pacific Northwest cruising.
The rugged design is optimized to handle
the Northwest’s choppy coastal and open
waters, and to provide efficiency, comfort
and spaciousness for gentle island
cruising. The boat has character and class
and exudes solidity and quality from the
moment you step aboard.
Design and Seaworthiness
Cruising boats in the PNW tend to
prioritize strength and efficiency over
speed. Reflecting this, Nordic Tugs have intentionally retained their classic “tug” style rather than compromising
seaworthiness and comfort in the interests of more modern, sleek lines. Many years of design evolution have
helped Nordic Tug establish a reputation for safety, comfort and quality, and have ensured that they are still one
of the most popular boats in the PNW.
The Nordic Tug 37 has a semi-displacement hull with hard chines to minimize roll. There is a full keel to enhance
stability, plus a stainless-steel shoe that protects the running gear. Like the Pacific Northwest trawlers which
inspired its design, the 37 has a tall, fine-entry bow with little flare, which makes for a smooth ride in rough
water. The stern features a moulded-in swim platform that also functions as part of the running surface, thereby
extending hull length (to 39 feet) and increasing efficiency, speed and stability.
We love the practical and unpretentious lines of the boat and have developed great confidence in its ability
to handle all conditions comfortably. We can vouch for the accuracy of an independent review on Boats.com,
which stated: “We had no concerns taking the Nordic Tug 37 out that day. The 20-knot winds and 3-foot breaking
seas were nothing for this boat. The ride was comfortable and predictable, with a steady motion that instills
confidence in the boat. This tug can eat up anything Canada’s coastlines or PNW open waters dish out”.
Internal Configuration
One of the best features of the Nordic Tug 37 is its configuration – with three dedicated internal spaces –
sleeping, bridge and salon. This layout keeps functional activities separate, so for example, you will not need to
use the same surface for navigation planning that you were earlier using for cutting up tomatoes, nor will you
have to emerge from the shower or toilet straight into the salon!
