A situation has occurred where it becomes necessary for you to be towed. What action should be taken to prevent your vessel from yawing?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Shift weight to the stern
Shifting weight toward the stern of a towed vessel increases directional stability by submerging the stern sections, increasing the hull's resistance to yawing and keeping the vessel tracking smoothly behind the towing vessel.
