CAUTION
Do not secure tow lines to deck cleats, which are for mooring only.
Cleats are not fastened to your vessel for towing.
Take added care if towing, or being towed, with nylon lines. These lines
stretch, and if a fitting fails or the line parts, the end can snap back with
sufficient force to cause injury or death.
S
CAUTION
Always tow or have the yacht towed at low speed. Never exceed the
speed of the towing yacht while being towed.
S
CAUTION
Ensure a towing rope so as to release it when under load.
S
CAUTION
The tensile strength of ropes/chains should normally not be higher than
80% of the tensile strength of the relevant pull up point.
