267. In towing why is it desirable for the tug and the tow to ride wave crests simultaneously?
Synchronized wave riding minimizes changes in distance between the tug and tow, reducing shock loading on the towline. This prevents sudden, high tension spikes that can damage equipment or cause line failure, and is the primary consideration in towing practices.
