12.16 DRAWING THE YACHT IN CASE OF FAILURE
(OR TOWING)
In case the yacht needs to be drawn or towed, fasten the towing lines as
shown in the gure, in order to distribute the load evenly and pull in the middle.
It is a good rule, after fastening the cleats, to carry on with the rope, and the
winch: so as to load the strongest yacht’s points only.
The towing rope length depends on the sea conditions, and must be ad-
justed in such a way to limit the pulling forces without damaging the deck
ttings.
DANGER
Do not approach and do not carry out any kind of intervention on trans-
mission during the towing because propeller can turn.
