I asked the tug pilot for 5Kn more last week and he said "At the rev
limit"...Ballasted Ventus behind a Euro fox with fine prop to optimise
towing 2 seaters.I was at 60 Kn so not too marginal.
You cannot beat a pawnee but you can break the bank using them

There's a device known as a throttle that helps with this. Suggest your
towing organisation gets these installed and trains your tug pilots in its
use.
