Ideal for towing multiple gliders!

Until your insurance company finds out.

We used to ferry gliders to an encampment (about 100 nm) once or twice a
year on double tows behind a Birddog. We'd fly one on a standard 200 ft
rope and the other on a 300 ft rope - one in high to off to one side,
the other in low tow on the other side. It worked very well. One of our
members called the insurance company (Costello) to ask what they thought
about it. The answer was something like "well, we'd probably settle a
claim but we'd likely decline to renew your policy after the current
expiration". YMMV.

Williams Soaring in Williams, CA, does it routinely, so I'm assuming
insurance is available from someone.
