🔍 Key Concepts

• How the towline pulls on your boat and where the center of resistance is in the water • How weight distribution (fore, aft, and side-to-side) affects a boat’s tendency to swing off to one side (yaw) • The difference between making the bow light vs. heavy while being towed

💭 Think About

• Imagine your boat being pulled in a straight line: if the bow rides too high or too low, what happens to how the towline lines up with the boat? • Which weight shift would help keep the keel and rudder (or skeg) tracking straight in the water instead of allowing the bow to swing back and forth? • Think about a canoe or small boat: when someone sits too far forward or too far aft under tow, how does it affect how easily the boat swings left and right?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option would help keep the boat balanced around its center rather than pivoting at one end? • Eliminate choices that would make the bow too light or too heavy, increasing the tendency to swing side-to-side. • Consider which position of weight helps the boat track straight behind the towing vessel.
