Attach your tow line to the center caribeener and tow. >> Great application of a technique which has traditionally been used for towing tenders and other boats. Question: Have you ever tried the same sort of thing on the towing boat, placing the pulling end of the rope beneath the hull to avoid stern and rudder entanglement?
