1982 Nordic 26 Sport Sold Boat in Olympia, WA 98501 US

The 1982 Nordic Tug 26' Sport model is a charming and classic vessel, representing a blend of traditional design and rugged practicality that the Nordic Tug brand is known for. The rugged, practical lines give it a timeless aesthetic, often favored by enthusiasts of older, well-built powerboats. Though compact, it's a very capable boat for day cruising, weekend getaways, and even longer voyages, given its sturdy construction and seaworthy characteristics.

The classic trawler-style hull is designed for stability and fuel efficiency rather than high speeds. With the semi-displacement hull she moves at slower speeds but will go for longer distances with minimal fuel consumption. Because the Nordic Tug 26 has a semi-displacement bottom, rather than a V-bottom, she is more stable at rest. Her hard chines resist rolling when underway or at anchor. Froggy Tug has all the modern conveniences including galley, marine head, comfortable sleeping quarters, diesel heat, and an appropriate array of electronics for safe navigation.

Some of her key features include

Pilothouse:

The pilothouse on this boat is one of its best attributes. It has plenty of room for a six-footer to stand up comfortably, seating for three adults, and very clear, near 360-degree visibility. Rear-facing windows on either side of the pilothouse allow for a quick check behind you to look for approaching vessels and to make sure you aren't turning into an oncoming boat.

You can comfortably operate the boat from a sitting or standing position while the seat serves as a leaning post. Being able to both sit and stand helps with fatigue as you can change positions from time to time while under way.

Interior & Comfort:

It is fully equipped for multi-day cruising with complete plumbing, electrical, and heating systems like a larger yacht.

The interior layout is simple but efficient, with a focus on maximizing space without sacrificing comfort.

Cabin: The cabin is functional, with a V-berth forward that can sleep two comfortably. She incorporates a small galley with a stove, sink, and an AC/DC refrigerator.

Head: Features a small but practical marine head optimized for space.

Salon: This area has a settee or small dinette that can double as additional sleeping space if needed.

Storage: Despite her compact size, the Sport is equipped with creative storage solutions to keep gear and personal items organized at the ready.

Cockpit & Deck:

The cockpit is open and accessible, with enough room for three or four people to move around comfortably. It's perfect for fishing, relaxing, or operating the boat from the second helm station that includes bow thruster control.

Keeping in line with the yachtiness of the Nordic 26, the anchor is mounted on a bow roller with an electric windlass to raise and lower the anchor conveniently and with ease.

Engine & Performance:

FROGGY TUG is powered by a Yanmar 70 horsepower, quiet, and fuel-efficient diesel engine. The Yanmar power provides unbelievable economy and dependability with very low, 1080, hours. She cruises comfortably around 6-7 knots, at an economical fuel consumption rate. With near full-displacement hull and fuel-efficient diesel engine, she is ideal for long-distance travel requiring minimal fuel, making it a great choice for cruising the Salish Sea.

Exterior Features:

She is a fine example of the traditional tug type trawler. Her tug-like design has large windows providing a 360 view from the pilothouse hem. These large, fixed windows assure great visibility from all directions. No one at the helm should ever be surprised by another boat coming from any direction.

The Nordic Tug Sport is a blend of traditional craftsmanship, modern functionality, and practical cruising comfort. It's appealing for its simple but elegant design and will provide a great boating experience.

Overall Appeal:

The 1982 Nordic Tug 26' Sport is known for being seaworthy, easy to handle, and a good choice for people who enjoy slower, more deliberate cruising. This is the ideal boat to enjoy long weekends, fishing trips, or Salish Sea explorations without the need for a larger, more expensive vessel. Its size makes it easy to dock and maneuver, while the design ensures a comfortable ride even in somewhat rough conditions. Her timeless beauty makes it one of the most well-loved boats on the water
