🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing bridle arrangement between tug and tow • Function of a fishplate / flounder / towing plate in distributing load • Difference between deck fittings (like bitts and pad eyes) and connecting hardware in a towing gear

💭 Think About

• Think about which option is a separate piece of hardware that lives in the towing gear, not welded to the deck of the tow. • Which item is specifically designed to join two bridle legs to one central towing hawser and spread the strain evenly? • Ask yourself: which of these is commonly shown in towing gear diagrams as a triangular or plate-like connector between lines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items (bitts, pad eye) are fixed fittings on the vessel versus separate gear in the towline system. • Check which device is designed to equalize the load from two bridle legs into one main hawser. • Confirm from towing seamanship references what hardware is normally used at the junction point between the bridle and the towline.
