Longitudinal towing ensures safety in marinas<\/h2>\r\nAs another variant of towing a ship, you can choose longitudinal towing in marinas or narrow fairways, for example. Important: The towing vessel always picks up the vessel to be towed on the side to which the propeller of the towing vessel turns, which in most cases is probably the port side. Fenders as thick as possible should protect both vessels from damage, but be careful: many fenders have steel eyelets in the upper area that are only covered on one side. A circumstance that can be quickly overlooked in the rush, however, and lead to damage to the gelcoat of the hull.\r\n

Longitudinal towing: create a firm connection<\/h3>\r\nThe stern of the towing boat should remain clear to maintain the maneuverability of the tow. It is advantageous if the lines are tensioned so that the towing unit presents itself as a compact unit. The fore line, fore spring, aft line and aft spring must create as tight a connection as possible, depending on the conditions that present themselves.\r\n

For towing, it is better to call the professionals from SeaHelp Breakdown Service right away<\/h2>\r\nHowever, for those who ultimately find this too costly or who have concerns about mastering such an unfamiliar situation on the first try without causing unnecessary damage, there is still a call to the SeaHelp HelpLine. In an average of 20 minutes, SeaHelp's towing professionals are on the scene and, with their many years of experience, quickly have the situation under control.\r\n\r\nDepending on the size of the operational boat, the Yellow Angels of the Adriatic can safely tow yachts weighing up to 100 tons (up to approx. 35 meters yacht length). To put it precisely: A small rescue boat with 2 x 150 hp Yamaha engines can tow yachts up to 30 tons dead weight (up to approx. 20m yacht length), the Technomarine rescue boats with 2 x 600 hp, which are mainly in use, are able to take yachts up to 100 tons (up to approx. 35m yacht length) in tow.\r\n\r\n \r\n
