Thanks, Jim. Interesting, I didn't realize the Aussies would let anyone tow above the wake. That will make it easier if I ever get down there again... -John, Q3 On Tuesday, February 25, 2014 1:17:18 PM UTC-5, JS wrote: Q3 Level tow = high tow, just above the wake, not just below it. Jim I don't know about others but I have always been taught/teach that high tow is the position above and just clear of the turbulence caused by the tug slipstream. Low tow is just below it. The position should be so that the glider is just clear of the slipstream, any higher/lower is out of position. There are terms to describe only two tow positions not three.
