RIG TOW OUT In towing applications, the use of lightweight, high modulus fiber ropes instead of heavy wire rope has helped to drastically reduce rigging time, equipment requirements, and manpower requirements. A lightweight floating line also increases safety through the elimination of fishhooks from broken wire, dramatically reduced recoil, and the avoidance of sinking lines fouling propellers.
