First time towing the tender

[k9medic]

I'm using 100' of bright orange colored dyneema rope. Dyneema floats.

Right now it's "climbing" the third wave. I can bring it in by adjusting the bridle but for now it's all trial and error.

Look under the Rule 36 about getting attention.

"Any light to attract the attention of another vessel shall be such that it cannot be mistaken for any aid to navigation. For the purpose of this Rule the use of high intensity intermittent or revolving lights, such as strobe lights, shall be avoided. "


And anyway, why would you have a tender that needed towing that didn't have running lights of any kind?

Agree- we avoided running at night but when caught in heavy rain we lit the nav lights.

I'm curious about what you are using for shock absorption.
