🔍 Key Concepts

• OSV (Offshore Supply Vessel) rescue boat requirements under 46 CFR for towing liferafts • The realistic safe towing speed for a fully loaded liferaft in emergency/rough conditions • Relationship between towline strength, drag, and speed of the object being towed

💭 Think About

• Which of these speeds would be practical for safely towing a largest loaded liferaft in bad weather without capsizing or damaging it? • How does increasing speed affect the strain on the towline and the liferaft being towed? • Think about what speed would still allow good control and maneuverability of the rescue boat while towing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which CFR rescue boat towline requirement applies specifically to OSVs and liferafts • Consider which speeds might be too fast to safely tow a fully loaded liferaft in rough seas • Ask yourself: which option best matches a slow, controlled towing speed appropriate for rescue operations?
