Ayton Cross
The Ayton Cross and her sistership, Ormesby Cross.
Completed by Astilleros Zamacona, Spain in 1999, these Wijsmuller 34m ASD (Aazimuthing Stern Drive) boats are powered by 2 x 2000hp engines, delivering a Bollard-Pull in excess of 55 tons.
Keeping with the tradition of Tees Towing (now Svitzer / Wijsmuller) these boats, retaining the word (name) Cross, after the Crossthwaite family, who owned and operated Tees Towing for many years, like there predecessors, were named after villages situated around the Tees area.
Originally 'stationed' on the Tees, both boats worked the River until 2005 when the Ayton was relocated to the Mersey, from where 'she' has travelled / operated in various parts of the globe.
Working in the modeller's favour, the Ayton and the Ormesby, like the rest of the fleet, have gone through several livery changes, thus allowing 'free-license' of colour scheme for this large, extra volume boat, making the model the ideal choice for those 'Tuggers' who require a Big Powerful boat, for this model is without a doubt, quite awesome!!
