Why tow lines flip tugboats, understanding girting, towing points, and sudden capsize forces
Tow lines can turn a tugboat’s strength into its worst vulnerability when the load overtakes the tug or the line sweeps to the beam. This explains girting, why towing geometry matters as much as propulsion, and the practical safeguards, gogging, quick release, and watertight integrity.

A prime example of Tug Gurding. Tug Girding is the capsizing of a tugboat during towing operations when the towline force acts sideways, causing the tug to heel excessively and potentially overturn. This occurs when the tug is unable to maintain its position relative to the tow, and the towline force, instead of pulling from the stern, pulls from the side, creating a dangerous heeling moment. #tug #tugboat #freedom #Capsizing #vetradiosyndicate #army #navy #airforce #marines #overboard #danger #
