🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing arrangements for ocean tows and how loads are distributed • The purpose of a bridle versus a single pendant in towing • How a fishplate or towing plate is used in multi-leg towing setups

💭 Think About

• Which option actually splits the towing load between two points on the tow so it tows evenly? • Which setup would best help keep the tow lined up behind the tug and reduce yawing (swinging) in ocean conditions? • Look at which choices use multiple legs connected to a common fitting designed for towing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option uses two legs that meet at a common towing connection • Check which arrangement is commonly shown in towing gear diagrams as a bridle on the bow of a tow • Eliminate any option that does not provide two separate attachment points on the tow joined to a single towing connection.
