🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing point on the towed vessel and how load is transferred into the hull structure • Difference between strong, engineered fittings (bitts, cleats, towing eyes) and non‑structural items (rails, masts, lifelines) • Why the tow should normally be attached near the bow on the centerline

💭 Think About

• Which option places the towing force on a strong fitting designed to take heavy loads, rather than on something that might bend, break, or rip out? • Which choice avoids placing large sideways or twisting forces on the vessel and instead pulls as close as possible to the centerline and low on the hull? • Think about what would happen in rough seas: which attachment point is least likely to fail and keep the tow under control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items listed are structural deck fittings (like cleats, bitts, strong points) versus non‑structural gear (like rails or masts). • Check that the chosen point is near the bow and on the centerline, not off to the side or high above the deck. • Eliminate any option that relies on fittings that are not specifically intended for towing loads, especially if they’re slender or elevated.
