🔍 Key Concepts

• Function and location of a towing bridle on a tug and tow • Purpose of devices that allow rotation or swiveling in a towing arrangement • Difference between deck fittings (like bitts, bulkheads) and special towing hardware

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a fitting that would allow the towline or bridle to rotate so it doesn’t become twisted under load? • Look at each choice: which are fixed structures on the vessel, and which is a specialized towing connection? • In real towing gear, what piece is commonly placed between tug and tow to reduce chafe and prevent the gear from winding up on itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are structural parts of the vessel (these will not prevent twisting). • Identify which choice is a special towing component used between tug and tow or in the towing rig. • Ask: which item’s primary job is related to aligning or equalizing the pull and allowing some rotational freedom?
