🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 24 – Towing and Pushing (towing identification lights and shapes) • Rule 27 – Vessels Restricted in Their Ability to Maneuver (RAM) and when extra RAM lights may be added • The phrase “severely restricted in their ability to deviate from their course” and what actually causes that condition

💭 Think About

• Look up Rule 27 and see exactly what it says about a vessel engaged in towing that is severely restricted in her ability to deviate from course. Does it limit this to only one type of tow, or to any tow that meets the condition? • Ask yourself: is the physical towing arrangement (ahead, alongside, astern) what matters here, or is it the degree of maneuvering restriction caused by the tow? • Read the wording carefully: are the extra lights tied to a particular towing configuration or to the fact that the tow makes the vessel RAM regardless of configuration?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 24 which lights identify towing and pushing configurations (ahead, alongside, astern). • Verify in Rule 27(b) whether a vessel engaged in towing that is RAM is described with any restriction on how the tow is arranged. • Make sure the choice you select is consistent with the idea that the cause for extra lights is being severely restricted in ability to deviate from course, not just the direction of the tow.
