In-Water Towing  The bowplate: I assume its' strong enough to
handle mooring by anchor and at the dock. Is it safe to say it
is strong enough to handle the load of a tow line from another
boat when my boat has a lot of water still in it? [:D]Not
anticipating anything , just need to know.[:D]   Short answer is
NO! Aside from the strengtrh issue, There are  Short answer is
NO! Aside from the strengtrh issue, There are other
issues...such as unless you have an inflated bow bag to raise
the bow, a Scot will submarine when swamped if pulled by the bow
eye, because of all the flotation aft under the seats and the
weight if the wet rig and sails pushing the bow under. There is
a bridle system recommended to tow a swamped Scot, which allows
the bow to rise as the water inside runs aft, hopefully out the
open inspection port[s] you have installed in the transom. This
bridle is shown in Scot literature and may also be on this
website somewhere. Most racing dinghies should be towed by the
mast as it is the strongest fix
