🔍 Key Concepts

• Fishplate as used in towing operations • Differences between hawser towing, alongside towing, and pushing ahead/in the notch • How towlines lead (angle and direction) in different towing configurations

💭 Think About

• In which towing method does the towing force change direction sharply and need reinforcement or protection at a corner or change in lead? • Think about where hardware is needed to prevent chafing or to help change the direction of a towline under heavy load. • Which configuration has the towline running over the stern at a distance, rather than secured directly alongside or in a notch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what hawser tow means versus alongside towing and pushing in the notch. • Picture the towline lead (path) and where heavy metal fittings would be placed to handle strain or chafe. • Eliminate any options where the tug is rigidly connected without a long towline under heavy, changing angles of strain.
