| Garibaldi Glass Partners with Robert Allan Ltd. as their New Prototype Training Tug Is Launched In Vancouver, B.C.
June 1, 2010
On Wednesday, May 19th Robert Allan Ltd. officially launched the BRAtt, the BURCHETT-ROBERT ALLAN training tug.
For a number of years the Principals of Robert Allan Ltd. and Burchett Marine Inc. have been discussing the potential for designing and building a lower-cost, "driveable" scale model tug to use as a training vessel. This boat would have to be:
- Large enough to be very realistic and fully safe in all training operations
- Large enough to have real time response actions
- Powerful enough to perform some "real work" where the situation warrants
- Fully Class certifiable if required
- Small enough to be road-deliverable
 
Garibaldi Glass was happy to be involved in the beginning of this project when concept was transformed into reality and has hard specification on all glass with future build. This also includes an innovative water-proof all-glass frameless door on the pilot house, which Garibaldi Glass designed and built with the help of Manly Marine. From all accounts on launch day in Coal Harbour, the BRAtt was well received and everyone loved the door.
