🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe connection points on the bow of a vessel when towing • How a towing bridle actually transfers load to the vessel’s structure • Differences between bitts, pad eyes, and different types of hooks (pelican vs safety)

💭 Think About

• Which fittings on the bow are specifically designed to take steady towing loads and shock loads? • If one choice says all of the above, are all three options equally appropriate and common for a single-tug tow, or is one clearly more standard? • How would you want the tow connected in heavy weather so that it is strong, simple, and unlikely to come adrift?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fitting is most commonly recommended in towing practice for a single tug – strong, well-supported, and easy to inspect • Check which connection method avoids reliance on quick-release hooks as the primary structural link for the bridle • Ask whether each listed method is something you would confidently use on a heavily loaded ocean tow without modification
