"If your line is connected to a slip-ring, then you shouldn't have to
jettison the whole belt.  You could attach both long and short lines via

slip D-rings and if something went wrong, it would all slide off the
belt.  You'd have to have the bag slide off too, so if something went
wrong with the "offside" rope, everything would slide out of its way."

Two bags and two slip rings on one belt might be likely to tangle.  At
best you might loose both towlines when letting one go.

"There aren't many ways to weave a belt onto a PFD that isn't designed
for a tow/rescue belt."

Mine, the Lotus L'Ocean, is designed for tow systems.
