The vessel shown in illustration D025DG has broken down and you are going to take her in tow. The wind is coming from her starboard beam. You are making more leeway than she. Where should you position your vessel when you start running lines?

Correct Answer: Option A — A

When approaching a disabled vessel making more leeway, positioning to windward (Position A) allows your vessel to drift down safely toward the casualty while maintaining maneuverability and preventing collision during line-passing operations.
