high tow vs low tow
Yes!
Above the wake during a level (not climbing) tow, will place the glider quite a bit above the tow plane...not a good place to be...
Low tow during level tow, just barely below the wake will place the glider only very slightly lower than the tow plane...a good place to be...
So...anybody winning the argument yet? LOL

Weird, because long cross country tows is exactly the one time the rest of us use low tow!
The height difference between a good low tow and a good high tow isn't much anyway. Twenty feet / six metres maybe? Maybe less.
