🔍 Key Concepts

• Tug and tow gear layout – how the towline, bridle, fishplate, and any additional lines are arranged • Function of a spring line in towing – why you would add a “spring” between two other pieces of gear • Materials used in modern towing gear – common line types for main hawsers vs special-purpose lines

💭 Think About

• Think about where an intermediate piece of gear would logically be placed in the towing setup and what its job would be. • Ask yourself: which choice describes a line that helps protect or modify the load on the main towing hawser rather than being part of the bridle itself? • Consider which option sounds like a specific location in the towline system instead of just a material or a general ship fitting.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what a fishplate is and where it sits in a towing arrangement. • Review what a towing bridle is and where its legs lead, then decide whether a spring would normally be in each leg or between major components. • Eliminate any option that focuses only on material (e.g., manila vs wire/synthetic) rather than the position and function of the intermediate spring.
