Thanks, Manfred, I agree. One prop - and a big meaty nozzle. But my notes - and the Varenderfgoed page - have "2 x C2cyl", which normally means two separate 2cyl compound engines. But the tug's own website makes it clear that there is only one engine (dubbel compound Lentz kleppenmachine), but with two high and two low-pressure cylinders - which should be written as 1 x C4cyl.
