unwieldy tow

[jannercornwall]

would it not have made more sense to have kept a short tow , so the tug was actually steering and pulling ?

good point towboat911

[camohunter21]

wonder why they don't use a drouge/sea ancore off the stren thats what we used to do for sailboats that lost rudders all the time.

[TowBoat911]

@camohunter21 i think this tow may be too large for a drogue

Now that's towing

Stern first maby better??

(with balast shifted to bow??

[oceanwindrider]

That was also a good option, but were making a speed of >7 knots, so why risking leakage through mainshaftseals, anyhow tow already safely delivered, Brgds oceanwindrider

[bugsier5]

point taken! towed safely into harbour, thats the inportant thing! (and the money!)

(rocking all over the world (LOL)

[CMLovejoy]

would it have been easier if you pulled the back instead of the front of the ship

I dont know anything about this stuff

[offshoresnipe]

Have to love the comment by mrshmaster, look at what he is driving. When was the last time you towed a loaded bulk carrier mrshmaster?

[hammer231984]

hahaha

[mrshmaster]

The ship ought to be in clutch reverse to stay strait.

[bugsier5]

smal point here, engine has noreverse gear , only reversable engine ...!!
