Deck General USCG Question #2397 (Set 76)

If the towing bridle legs are not of equal length __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above

Asymmetrical bridle legs fail to distribute tension equally, immediately shifting the majority of the tow's dynamic load to the shorter leg, causing over-tensioning, structural failure, and potential loss of the tow.
