TOWING

 

For towing, make sure the wand is retracted (see 

Tip

 below).  Loop a towing rope around the base of mast 

once or twice.  Hold onto the end of the rope (do not tie off).   The rescue vessel should tie their end of the 
rope off onto the appropriate position. 

Steer the boat making sure the towing rope isn’t touching the wand, as this may result in damage to the 

wand.

TIP: 

When being towed with foils, it helps to pull the wand down about 200mm.                                                                              

This allows the main foil to lift slightly to counteract the lift on the rudder foil and will                                                         

reduce the chance of nosediving.
