to the website of Snorri, Nordic Tug 32-225.
She was built by Nordic Tugs in Burlington, WA,
in 2002. We purchased her in March 2008.
Snorri is our second Nordic Tug, having recently downsized
from our 2001 Nordic Tug 37. (Want to know the origin of Snorr's name?)
Buffalo Wings (Snorri's former name) saw some serious
cruising, having completed the Great
Loop under the pilotage of her first owners. We
are anxious to continue that tradition and hope to
do the Down
East Circle Route when we retire.
We
trucked Snorri from Lake Oneida in central New York, to
Essex, CT. In Essex, she underwent several upgrades: we added solar panels
on the pilothouse roof, expanded the house battery bank
to six AGM batteries, and installed a 2000 watt pure
sine wave inverter, high-output alternator, and a propane
on-demand hot water heater. We replaced the carpet, installed teak and holly flooring in the head, and painted the inset and boot stripe red. Click here to learn more
about the
solar system which was featured in issue 14 of Waypoints, the Nordic Tug Newsletter.
After the upgrades were
completed, we cruiseed her to her new home in Stage
Harbor, Chatham, MA. We've spent the past three summers
cruising throughout southern New England.
