a towing cable onboard.
Location of attachment points
A. Mooring cleats which correspond to the anchor points for the lifelines.
B. Towing:
- at the bow, to be towed
- at the stern, to tow
- Generally the breaking strength of lines/chains must not exceed 80% of the
breaking strength of the anchor points.
- Always tow or be towed at low speed. Never exceed the maximum speed of
a displacement hull during a tow.
- Be particularly vigilant when the end of a towing cable is being thrown or
received (risk of the end becoming caught in the propeller).

under load.

part of your body.
