Owners Association
Our mission is to help make the LNVT experience more fun.
This web site is maintained by the Lord Nelson Victory Tug Owners Association (LNVT OA), a non profit all volunteer organization. We are the formal face of a very casual community. Our origins date back to 1999 when Tom Blackwood, Thistle Dew (46) and Mitch Page, Scuffy (42), started contacting owners. Today almost all owners are members and only 2 tugs, of an 87 boat fleet, are missing from our database. Membership is open to LNVT owners, wannabees and enthusiasts.
LNVT OA Activities
- publish Tuggers, a quarterly newsletter (example, Spring 2007
) - an index of Tugger articles is under construction - (feel free to contribute!)
