I think someone mentioned using spinnaker quick release snaplinks for towlines. If you use these it may be worth checking the snaplink for weak points. I had such a snaplink in a towline system a while ago. In practice towing, I gave it a sharp tug to release it, and it flew apart. A split ring connection to the snaplink had straightened out. These spinnaker snaplinks are a little heavy, too.
