🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of a towline and tug in following seas • What happens when a tug and tow are on different parts of the same wave • Standard terminology used in towing for safe wave positioning

💭 Think About

• Think about what can happen if the tug is on a crest while the tow is in a trough (or vice versa) – how does that affect the tension on the towline? • Which option sounds like a condition or situation you want to maintain over time, rather than a thing you measure or a maneuver you execute? • Look for the choice that directly describes the relationship between the tug and tow relative to the sea state.

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any term that clearly refers to shape or length of the towline rather than tug–tow relationship in waves. • Eliminate any answer that is a specific turning/recovery maneuver unrelated to towing in a seaway. • Ask which option is commonly used to describe a tug and tow moving together over waves in a synchronized pattern.
